  • Hey guys!
    My name's Adam, I live in Virginia, I'm 27 years old, and I collect, play, and enjoy classic, original arcade machines and console games!
    Come with me as I take you through my humble collection of 22 original machines ranging from Frogger to Area 51 and beyond on my iPhone!
    Thanks for watching!

      Yeah as soon as I shot it I wondered why I shot it portrait instead of landscape…lol

    Nice tour! Great choice with Gyruss, seems slightly more outside-the-box than the usual space games. (Which I also enjoy, having owned a Galaga myself.)

    BattleZone was so revolutionary. And I have the same rug in my arcade room!

    Nice! Love it! I honestly love every piece of Pac-Man merch, he's just such an iconic character. That Space Invaders lunch box looked neat. You did a pretty damn good job with the aesthetic, being as young as you are, you missed the golden age of Arcades. Honestly, many of them were pretty sketchy places but it was the live MP (fighting, sports, lightgun and racing games were amazing) that really shaped them. It was also the tinnitus inducing sound (Daytona, Virtua Fighter 2 and Super Sidekicks 2 for example would destroy your eardrums). For context, the reason I say they were sketchy is that they'd frequently be a haven to drug dealers and to put it bluntly, predators (not the movie kind!) - we defo don't miss that lmao. More than the sights and sounds, it was even the smell that lingers in the memory - typically a gross combination of popcorn, burger fat, tobacco, metal (due to the coins) and body ddour....it was certainly a unique experience. As well as the multiplayer, the Arcade was the home of emergent technology (up until the mid-90's). i still vividly remember playing Mortal Kombat and being blown away by the incredible gore (Granddad thought it was satanic lmao). Daytona USA, Virtua Fighter 2 and Virtua Cop really blew my mind but after that it was pretty much home console/PC all the way for me.
    The clip of your Daughter clasping the cabinet was so wholesome and was a snapshot of why Arcades are so wonderful. The sights and sounds would be enticing to any child (big and little alike!). The Millipede cabinet was damn gorgeous, all of your cabinets looked wonderful to me.

    You own 90% of my fave Arcade games, very popular titles to be sure.
    I swear I would get 'video drunk' and leave the Arcade light - headed, if you know what I mean; this would be after playing all my quarters, in addition to watching my friends play so say maybe a half hour in the Arcade.
    Anyone else experience that or some variation thereof?

    Looks great! I try to keep the games that I enjoy and other people will actually play. Rare stuff is cool to collect but if it’s not fun to you or your guests then not really for me. You have a good mix of great raster games and vectors - Battlezone is awesome

      @@vintagerefresh you get it. I’ve had the opportunity to get rare gems like bronze age stuff and super obscure Universal games but like…what’s the point? There’s a reason the more popular stuff was more popular…it made money and people played and liked playing the games! 🤷🏼‍♂️
