Do you have Chase HQ, or have you played it? That was one of my favourite driving games. Once the lock downs end I may have to take a trip out to Alberta just to visit your arcade.

    I was born in 79 and watching this caused so many awesome memories to flood back in. Arcades were a BIG part of my life in the early years. Him talking about his public arcade and paying $20.00 to play till closing time reminded me of going to Super Saturday at Putt-Putt Golf & Games back in the early 90’s where we would pay a fee to play from open to 2pm. Most popular game when I started going there was Street Fighter 2, then Mortal Kombat came along and everyone played that, then the Tekken series took off. I played in a lot of tournaments for Tekken 2 and 3. It got so addictive that I’d skip school just to go to the arcade to practice. I miss the arcades so much. Having a console just isn’t the same. I applaud 👏 this man for what he does and for bringing all those game cabinets back to life. Props to you 🤜🤛!

      I was born in 79 too. I remember being like 10 or so and one of my friends had his birthday party at a place called Aladdin's Castle (arcade). It was in our mall and we had the place all to ourselves. The mall closed early on Sundays and we got to go there after mall hours. A ton of these games were in that arcade. Definitely a nostalgic trip here with this video.

    Lots of fun at the arcade collection. Alex, you should ask the electronic engineer if he could set up an arcade game you want to put in your basement with optional hookup for wireless earbuds for two players (or just a volume control on the machine might work too). That way your son and a friend could play the arcade game without annoying anyone else in your new house.

    That was awesome! My faves that I liked to play back in the day were Star Wars, Zookeeper, Frogger, Pacman, and Donkey Kong. Thanks Stephen for the great memory of Star Wars!

    That’s a place I could get lost in for a day! If I’m thinking right, the brand named ones like the Mario machines are a bit more expensive because of the name, definitely rarity is a factor, and the antique value of a game figures into the cost. If you ever get around Farmington Hills, MI, they have a place called Marvin’s Mechanical Museum, that has tons of the original antique arcade games, may be a cool place to see one day.

      He deserves everything he has. He started collecting a long time ago, around the time everyone was trying to get rid of their cabs to keep up with the changing times. He bought most of these cabs at just the right time. He isn't a millionaire, just a lucky guy that made good decisions at the right time. He's an investor, he's a re-seller, he's a craftsman, an engineer. He's always in the right place at the right time.

      Lmbo! My sister used to get the lady warrior, I usually got the wizard or the elf. Shooting of the food was controversial.
