- Like playing games? why not have your own arcade?! That's what this collector thought as he spent 15 years amassing hundreds of rare and vintage arcade games and built himself his OWN arcade at his house!
Another insanely cool collectors tour! - Розваги
Instantly loved Mathew, just his demeanor! Nerds Unite!
What a sweet guy!
Not a surprise since your photo is a computer space .............. :)
okay
Unite! :)
Well done dude. That's one hell of a man cave.
These collectors are so incredible. Thanks for bringing us their stories.
I'm glad you enjoyed my collection. :)
@@mathewrs77 I noticed you have Karate Champ, I wonder if people remember that game was in the movie Blood Sport with Jean Claude Van Damme when he first met Jackson. 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.
@@D33Lux I do have a working Chase HQ. It's a fun game. Many of the games were in movies or tv shows back in the day.
"Just another outing with Dad!" Stephen looks to have really enjoyed this adventure! Childhood memories being made. People and their "hobbies" are so c👀l....!
I turned 13 in 1982 and this would have been my ultimate fantasy. Soooo cool!
My friend has a second floor in his garage thats a full 90s arcade probably 40 arcade machines, air hockey, crazy carpet, shuffle board,pin pong, pin ball
Just that sound of loads of machines running... so evocative. Takes me back to my teens. Amazing.
Pure joy on Mathew’s face when Steven was playing the game!
The main reason I'm restoring these games is to see the joys on people's faces. Joys on the older ones like me that used to play the games. Then the joy of people playing and enjoying them with their kids that didn't have this experience.

also surprised pinball LEDs made it better
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 🤜🤛!
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed my collection.
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.
Awesome Guy , memories triggered , I'm 62 now but good God almighty when I think about the money I spent at arcades and the entertainment it provided . Thanks for this Trip down memory lane
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed my collection.
What an amazing collection! I can't believe he collected all those in just 15 years. Wow! Thank you for sharing this with us Alex. 👍
It's been quite the ride. And most of the games were acquired locally.
He comes off as a really nice guy. Thanks for doing the video on him.
I do think that's quite a brilliant business idea for a collector. Very hard to steal and what's more, this isn't just a 'go have fun with your wife and kids' situation. Mathew should/could pitch it to ALL AGES of any family/friendship group and he wouldn't be telling any lie at all. What a great episode and thanks to Mathew for sharing.
I have a commercial arcade that is open to public. We have many families coming in and many bookings for birthday parties and sports teams. Check out Arkadium Retro Arcade. :)
The guy who played Willow is Warwick Davis. Love that movie! Remember Time Bandits also?
What a great guy to share his one of a kind collection with such enthusiasm.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed. :)
@@mathewrs77 I did and thank you and Alex.
That joint is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! Speaking as a kid who used to religiously hang out in arcades in the late 70s, 80s, and 90s.
What a sweet, smart and talented guy! Really enjoyed seeing his collection.
Thank you for the kind words. :)
I've never been more jealous of a human being than at this moment. Wow, what a collection and experience.
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed my collection.
Fun!! Back in the late 70's early 80's our family and friends ate at a pizza parlor every Sunday for and us kids would get $2 in quarters and be set free in the arcade. I remember so many of those games!! Good memories and a great collection!!
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed my collection.
Hearing those all turn on had nostalgia all over it. I got chills.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed.
I put off watching this episode because I am an old lady and I didn't think it was going to be interesting, but that was really fun!
I grew up as a small kid with a vector arcade game called Battlezone in the house. It was incredibly cool and i have very fond memories of the 80s arcades. I'm glad to see it come back into fashion. i HIGHLY recommend getting a few games for your new basement, i think the whole family can enjoy them and even the grandkids in the far future!
That sounds so fun.
Loved Battlezone!
Cool channel will have to come back a watch more of your videos.
Ahh man, I'm 52 and this video took me back to my childhood and I was very happy to see the star wars game at the end,I was looking for it the whole video👍👍
Great game for sure. I'm glad you liked the collection.
was stoked to see sini-star in there biggest arcade cab collection in a house on youtube maybe only last gamer has more
Ur sons genuine enjoyment showed out congratulations u just won father of the year. And while bringing joy to the rest of the world 🌎 what a job
When the Winters are long and cold, it makes people more creative!
Just when I ask myself, “on what adventure will Alex take us next?” Matthew, a very super nice guy invites you to look his collection.

Have a FABULOUS Valentines Day❤ Archibald Family. Nice video🥰
I'm so glad there are people like this in the world.
thought it was metal jesus for a second
@@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews haha
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.
It will never be the same again, that experience to be a kid in the 80's and stepping into an arcade establishment was like going an amusement park, the people and culture was way more engaging and active, everyone had alot of fun and we talked alot, if it wasn't an arcade we went to roller rings, ice hockey, camping, we did alot of fun things, todays culture can just imagine what it was like but for us 4 quarters was like having gold in our hands, the sounds of bells, rings, laughter, chatter, we are living in awful times today we really are, call us what you want but Gen-X had a blast
Alex,,, never heard you speachless...... Lololol... What a collection !!!!
Omg! This is paradise for me! So many awesome games I used to play!! Mathew big blessings for you and keep up the good work!!😄👍👍🕹🎮
I'm glad you enjoyed! Thank you.
Woweee that collection is so cool! Thank you for sharing x
Awesome, and I’m a 70 year old Grandma. Haven’t seen this many working machines since the early 80’s. My 8 year old grandson would love this!🤗. $20, are you kidding…..too bad you’re in Alberta.🥺
Thanks for taking us on the tour though!👍🏻💙💜💚
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed.
Wow. Bubble bobble my all time favorite. Matthew is awesome.
This video really brought back some memories. My first apartment after getting out of the Navy was right across the street from a pinball arcade, and I spent a looooot of time there. Later on, I spent probably hours and way too many quarters playing some of those arcade style video games, both in arcades and in bars.
Thanks. I'm glad you liked my collection.
How fun! I'd love to be friends with that guy! I grew up playing in arcades. We bought a cocktail table last year that has Galaga, Ms. Pacman, Digdug, etc. We would have rather had the stand type, but this saved us some money. My favorite games were Pinball, Centipede, Millipede, Q*bert, Rampage, and driving-type games. This brings back lots of wonderful memories!
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed seeing my collection. :)
If you like driving type games you would have loved Chase HQ.
7:20 OMG I LOVED THIS MINI MARIO PINBALL MACHINE!! Wow!! So much nostalgia. Absolutely incredible.
A great collection. I was hoping to see the " Star Wars " arcade game where you actually sat down inside
the cockpit of an X-Wing Fighter.
I've had the chance to buy the sitdown version but have passed. Takes up too much valuable space. 😁
What an awesome collection! Loved it
Awesome collection!❤
How exciting, your videos are never dull. Thanks for sharing!
Man, he's the King of the Nerds. What a cool collection.
Thanks. I'm glad you liked.
That was awesome !! Sweet collection ! Ms Pac Man was my go to !
Thanks Alex and Stephen!
This arcade style is great. It should be as evident in many commercial establishments. It is highly recommendable for all types of age, for them to be as busy, and enjoy details of time and maintenance. Congratulations.
I love you showing off other's cool collections. Thanks!!
What a great place!. I grew up with those "old" arcade games. I want to play some of them so bad! My sister had that black light carpet in her Livingroom for a while .. it was amazing! Her little ones loved it. 💖
Thanks. I'm glad you liked my collection.
Wow that is so cool... thanks for sharing.. Cheers!
What a super cool collection! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome Alex you are one lucky man to be able to see these collections. Wow wow wow. Thank you for sharing these awesome collections.
Enjoyed. The collector has an amazing building and collection, Very nice!
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed.
*The episode I've been waiting for since I started watching Curiosity Inc so many years ago!*
This guy is my idol. This has always been a dream of mine. Being on westcoast these games i never could find cheap.
Thanks! Just need to be patient and look for cheaper games. You also need to be able to repair them.

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.
Wow! You meet the most amazing people! Thanks for bringing us along 😁
Love our field trip today, what a neat collection. Kinda takes me back, to a pinball place we used to hang out as teenagers (Pinball Pete's in Michigan. The one in East Lansing opened in 1976, still open to this day. They got another location in Ann Arbor. Both are near college towns).
Fantastic!
Awesome collection!....
Love the Honda Odyssey --- I used to own a 1979 Honda Odyssey fl250... they are fun to drive. I wish I still had it.
Amazing collection. Thanks for sharing it.
Wow how fantastic!! All them pinball machines awesome !! Reminded me of the good old days in the arcades 70's and 80's. Thanks for sharing this us Alex brings back lots of good memories ❤ love from across the pond 🇬🇧 xx
I'm glad you enjoyed my collection. It's been a labor of love.
That's another big collection! My first job was working at an arcade and by the end of the second week I managed to get 6 pinball machines and a super breakout for free and saved them from going to the dump!(and my dad was mad at me when he saw that the garage was full!) I don't have any machines now, but have noticed that they have shot up in value!
They have gone up crazy. I wouldn't be able to afford most the games now a days.
Very cool! Definitely brought back memories!
Phenomenal collection. Super impressed. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the collection
Wow, this man is awesome. Arcade games 🕹 will never really go out of style. Thanks for taking me along.
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed my collection.

The artwork on the walls is amazing velvet too!!
Great video. You're going to need sound-proofing in the basement now. Stephen showing a typical teen aversion to outerwear in cool weather.
Guy seems really nice/cool. Down too earth with a passion for something.
Thanks for your kind words. Definitely a passion and addiction.
What a super cool guy! I'm 66 and I want my next birthday here!
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed. Arkadium Retro Arcade in Sherwood Park is available for birthday parties.
Galloping ghost is the arcade that has all the classic and pinballs the only thing that’s going to make me interested in going back to the arcade is when they release new games such as street fighter 6 tekken 8 all these games that’s in galloping ghost can be played on consoles or on mame 32 on PC not really hard to play these the arcade machines break a lot I wonder how much they cost to fix
last gamer makes galloping ghost look like a laundry mat arcade in comparison
That’s funny someone like you who doesn’t even know galloping ghost the largest arcade in the world comes a plays in from Japan China United Kingdom you need to do a research cause you don’t know what your saying
Galloping ghost has over one thousand games why would anyone want to go to a different arcade that has less games think agai
dream boy cause what I see in this arcade it’s missing over 300 games that galloping ghost has
Such a fun episode.
Really enjoyed thank for sharing
Very Fun! ... And I love the carpet!!!
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed.
Great video
Matt what a wonderful hobby! Good luck in the future!
Thank you! :)
Awesome ! would love to visit and play them Arcades.
12:39 You don't have an extra board do ya? "Get Out"!
