NICE BEASTIE BOYS REFERENCE!!!
Watching the games being played is my favorite part. Hearing the sounds of those classic games is like stepping into a time machine that takes me back to my childhood!
Thank you for watching Eric, we have a lot of fun playing them!
I have no idea how I found these repair videos, I have no experience or plans to repair anything, and yet here I sit, mesmerized, binge watching Joe fixing arcade video games. Hooked, I am. Thank you, Joe!
Ron, your living the life I dreamed of when I was 18. I wanted to make a living off of fixing these and playing them. I thought arcade games were just so cool since i was about 8 years old. Man I wish I did what you do for a living.
It's never too late spudthegreater :) Thank you for watching!
I’m impressed, someone who can actually play the game. Hell I never got that far. You must be great at Centipede.
Meh, i'm alright. A good centipede/millipede player will smoke me :)
I think I like Millipede better, so much more going on with it. Thanks for filming this and working through it. I'm glad that you got it running.
thanks Pez, glad it came along so well. It finally wanted to cooperate :)
I like watching you track down and fix problems with the classic arcade games! I used to play a lot of the games you've worked on! I miss going to the arcades! Keep up the great work!
Thanks Grfeld, we appreciate you watching!
I have worked on old arcade systems, and I can still hear error beeps in my mind... it's something thing that never goes away! Kinda haunts you! especially when you can't find the problem.... Great video! Great Job!
Over 2 years late and just a minute into the video, but I already want that cabinet in my basement - can't wait to see you bring it back to life. Love this game to bits!
This may be the 3rd or 4th of your videos I've watched. I'm restoring a Centipede now and your videos have been very informative. Thanks for making them.. Troubleshooting anything is my kind of puzzle.. I rarely run into something I can't figure out. Your debugging is well done. thanks
Thanks Bob, we appreciate you watching!
Nice fix! The bad resistor was a surprise.
Thank you for watching Anton!
I ignored this game when I was a kid, I had no idea it was so crazy trippy! This channel is the education I didn't know I needed. :D
Haha we're gonna wisen you up :)
this guy is more than his job, i think he could even make his own computer from scratch!
Cool nice memory repair of a hack job lol. What a cool game that does stand up well still today.
Thanks Major! It was fun to get it going again....
If you ever have classes on fixing games i'll be at the front of the class you're awesome man.
Aw thanks, Hyperchaos bringer :)
Glad you were able to get it going!!
Thanks , we appreciate you watching!
another great video .. thanks for the content... I find myself checking the channel everyday to see if there's more hahha I can't get enough of these. Part nostalgia , part "holy crap he can fix that ?!" .. and part "DAMN... he definitely did fix it ! NICE JOB !" … thanks again for these vids! keep up the good work !
We pride ourself on our ability to see the cool game inside a completely deteriorated cabinet :) Thanks for watching OneFoYo!
.. OMG once you realize he sounds like Tommy lee Jones its over.... " we got 4 beeps people! " .. " where was i before i was so rudely interrupted " " its a game within a game " haha i am loving this channel
Glad you like it :)
I love watching your videos. You're a technical whiz! Your knowledge of the analog and digital is wide and deep. And you can solder! I've worked on satellites and spacecraft and the skill set is pretty much the same
Epic! Not all heroes wear capes!
Aw, thanks!
matsushita aka panasonic aka technics :) ..you nailed it,another great video game bought back from the dead and filmed in style :) thank you guys ! x
Thanks Hope, we appreciate you watching it! Yeah I didn't realize Matsushita was also Panasonic, I always liked them back in the day at least!
Esteemed Joe-san. This is a great video! I'm not quite halfway through. I love all your stuff because it is always such an interesting project. As an author and linguist (I speak English, and Spanish, plus some Hindi/Urdu (Hindustani), Serbian, Korean, Mandarin (Chinese), Danish, and West African Fulani language), I wanted to take a moment and help you with the pronunciation of Matsushita. The "i" is virtually silent. I would say pronounce it like the apostrophe in a contraction like "Didn't". Which makes just a very slight deflection, but not even a half-syllable. OR, for an American, it is even easier to ignore the "i" completely and say it like "Matsushta", and any Japanese person would agree that is close enough. Keep doing great work! All good wishes.
You're a lot better than I was playing this game. I've forgotten how intense this game was to play. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks James, I must have done better than I thought people keep telling me I did pretty good :)
That side art is amazing tho the detail is great . Ohh man look at that nice crispy clean track ball.
Yes I'm so glad you don't edit out those oopsies from the video. Another great troubleshoot Ron. You're also good at playing Millipede. Loved the game but I sucked at it. Sorry I'm commenting on old videos but you got me hooked hehe.
Comment away :) All our videos are permanent, LOL
Awesome work. Have no clue how to repair these, but was watching you do it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Sacred Sun, it's not as hard as it looks i'm just stumbling through it on camera :)
Thanks for all the videos! Here's to 10k subs. Appreciate all the in depth info , especially going over all the art, in depth instructions and history of games . , and repair👍
Thanks for watching Chad, we appreciate it!
Keep the video coming please love the show
We have many more coming :) Thank you for watching Ryan!
I love how you always say you're not that good at a game after fixing it then hold your own just fine hahahaha 🤘🤘
That's so all the haterz keep their mouth shut :)
Ah, the old vertical deflection.
A line used in bedrooms across America...
BOING
very good videos I like arcades never stop uploading these videos.
Alright, I'll keep uploading them!
i love the artwork , and great repay video again. you are pretty good at this game
It's fun for sure. Thanks for watching!
Hey Joe, I just found your channel and have watched a few videos and subscribed. I grew up playing these games and always wondered what they looked like inside, but never bothered to find out. Now that I'm older and a tech It looks like it would be more fun to repair the games than to play them! I would give my left **** to grab my iron and work on those with you. I think you have one of the coolest jobs I have ever seen. Thank you so much for all of your work and posting these!
Thanks Kenneth, we appreciate you watching.... it's pretty fun, a lot of times though you're basically a glorified television repairman :) I agree with you though, it's more fun to fix them than it is to play them :) Thanks for the comments, we'll see you on the next video!
"It's like a game within a game!" Haha. I enjoy watching your videos. Who knew that troubleshooting old arcade games could be so much fun? LOL. I think it's your accent and sense of humour, combined with the geekiness of fixing old electronics, makes watching your videos quite a soothing and educational experience. "Matsushita! I'm not talking about you." Heh heh. All the best from Manchester in England and keep up the good work Ron.
Great to watch..... nice one
Thanks, we really enjoyed it!
You're pretty good at this game👍
Thanks Amber, I'm o.k. at it!
Great! you brought it back to life!. I hope there wont be a cop asking if you knew a guy by the name John Connor
NO SIR NOT ME
15:52 ive never seen a monitor flip out like that before lol
It was almost there!
I have to say, you do pretty well for only having a logic probe. I have a spare scope if you need one.
I've got one we've messed with a little bit but usually I just like to think through the issue, one of these days I'll spend some more time with the scope and figure it out.
Joe's Classic Video Games, scopes aren’t too tough. As I told my students, scopes look fancy, but they only do one thing: they measure voltage relative to time. The rest is just icing on the cake, like “storage scopes”.
It can be tricky deciphering a clocked signal at first because it rarely looks like a perfect square wave, but on those older arcade CPUs, where they operate at the “incredible” speed of a 6502, 6809, or Z80, the signals will look “cleaner” than an Intel CPU running at 4GHZ.
P.S. got to hand it to Atari for using the superior (for that time) 68000 series!
I love the Videos but Damn they are making me feel old !
Hey we're all getting older, even the kids are growing just as fast as we are :)
Man, I hate it when I get the lightsaber error code!
He's addicted to Star Wars! By The Way, that is Matt @ElvenForge who I've been posting videos from his channel lately, pretty cool dude.
I love this older stuff that you could actually work on. Modern stuff is mostly garbage if it goes bad (with some exceptions)
Yup that's why I just work on the old stuff.. it's cheaper too, and has more character. Win Win Win!
Good video! Matsushita is pronounced something like Muh - tsue - shtuh . The middle syllable is one sound. Three syllables total. you guys... heheh.
It says shit right in it, man. There's no way you don't pronounce that "Shit"
Don’t know why but hooked on your vids...... just found your channel..... maybe it’s because I’m an old fart and played these same games as a teenager...... not sure
It's because you're cool Jason, all us cool people are on youtube hanging out on Joe's Classic Video Games :) Thanks for watching, see you on the next video!
Joe's Classic Video Games I do also like fixing my own stuff..... not electronic stuff ... but cars and home improvement stuff
Takes me back, I seem to remember the trick is to let the mushrooms form a channel for the centipede to trap itself in, then blast the fuc@ker out of the sky!
I've never been able to pull that off but I'm still practicing :) Thanks for watching Daniel!
Joe's Classic Video Games It’s been a while, unfortunately these games are hard to come by, why I don’t know, I’d enjoy a trip to the arcade, then one day, I went in, and noticed a couple a street fighter games, then I went in a month or so later, more street fighter games, the trend followed, until every arcade was basically a street fighter arcade, but that’s another topic. Anyway, with these games, you have to remember they are programmed in a way, meaning they are dumb, they can’t act ‘out of the box’, I once played haunted castle on one credit, from when the shop opened, until it closed. With centipede, remember to blast the centipede in the same place every time, eventually mushrooms will grow around your line of fire, forming a channel for it to trap itself in. (Depends on which version you have)
This coin was a big quarter-eater for me, and I was good at it. The game was designed to let you build up a lot of points in a short time, then it would become so difficult that it was impossible to continue. Then it would let you begin with a higher starting score, which I could not resist. If I played the game now I'd always start at zero and get maximum value for my coin. Centipede was much easier to master.
Yeah I thought that was weird how they let you start at a higher score.... there's a dipswitch to 'allow' that, you can turn it off... I always start at 0 because I'm just not very good at it, but I can see how you might be tempted to start at a higher score especially when you were a kid, what a clever trick :) Thanks for watching, we'll see you on the next video!
Millipede is that typical sequel that doesn't quite live up to the original arcade game.
Centipede will always be the classic.
Millipede comes arrived close to the video game crash of the early 1980s.
I truly believe Atari's last CLASSIC arcade game from this period was the original Star Wars (vector graphics) arcade game.
I liked most of the Atari's vector games. Their other great color vector game was Tempest, of course!
Thank you for watching AvengerII
good job on the repair. hope you can repair your other board.
Got to play this last weekend at Houston Arcade Expo! It might be better than the original!!
I think they did a great job at keeping it similar but making it different 'enough'.
You can get a Yeapook (Chinese) table/tablet, dual channel oscilloscope for about $150. Good one for this TTL logic stuff.
It comes with two 10x probes.
Fixing these is like playing “Donkey Kong”.😮
Oh man, millipede is my favorite classic arcade game. I'd love to get my hand on an original cabinet.
Yeah it's pretty cool :) They're still out there, we just bought a Dig Dug today :)
@@LyonsArcade Even if I did find one here in Netherlands, I doubt I'd have the cash to fork out for it. In such condition as yours is they go for between $2,000 and $3,500...out of my league at this moment. Finding a broken one on the cheap is near impossible.
@@LyonsArcade Just curious what you paid for it. I saw one the other day... $3500 , I wanna restore cabinets , not bankrupt myself on them. Do you by chance have the cabinet dimension plans of the millipede cabaret? I think I'll just make myself a 1:1 replica. I already have the cabinet art in ultra HQ so no compromises there.
Wow, you sound like the UA-camr Nathan's MRE!!
You mean he sounds like me???
I wish I had all the money back that I put in this game I loved it
You could have paid for one outright :) Thanks for watching Bill!
@@LyonsArcade lol true. Love your videos I watch them always.
Looks like new! Awsome ge!
Thanks Dan, we appreciate you watching!
“Hey it’s the 5th ram dumb a$$”. Best line ever.
When you upload a video now, they ask you if it's suitable for kids! This is the reason I have to click "no" LOL
i have one of these that looks exactly like this
Wow so hard to find one around me.. Very rare
Yeah they don't pop up much very often anymore...
@@LyonsArcade one for sale 6 hour drive but the boarder is closed and won't ship. Nice shape, just my luck lol
Great video again mate
Thanks Arcade Crusaders, we appreciate you watching!
If it weren't for the fact that I'm in the UK and my wife won't let me then I'd buy a games room of machines like this off you. Would have to include a Galaxian and a Battlezone!!!
Two classics :)
not my favorite game but the colors and graphics on the cabinet are awsome
We thought so too!
I'm so excited about this video! :D
Come on in, Tim :)
@@LyonsArcade :D
I played that game in Atari greatest hits volume 2 on Nintendo DS
I didn't even know they made that, that's pretty cool Eminel!
The lightsaber error is Disney trying to promote their dire new StarWars film by any means possible....
! Definitely! Matt said the new Star Wars show on t.v. though is pretty good, I haven't seen it yet.
Switch版 出たら うれしいけどね
Great video as always ❤️👍🏻
Thanks Joseph, we appreciate you watching it!
This was called centipede over here in Germany, honestly as a kid I was afraid to play it 😱 no joke.
I was afraid of the Tazmanian Devil myself, lol
Centipede and Millipede are two distinct games. Millipede is the successor to Centipede.
Anyway smelling godfathers or roundtable pizza? Maybe wanting a bowl of sugar as you start the Saturday cartoon bender with Dungeon Master...creepy dude still haunts my nightmares
Godfather's pizza was great :)
@@LyonsArcade Godfathers or the real Pizza Huts with the tabletop games. I remember joust amongst the Galaga, Pac man, dig dug and a host of others.
Land of Oz, if I would have taken the sheer number of quarters I dumped into those games and invested it..
Matsushitter what an unfortunate name !!!! lol
Yeah, LOL I was trying to not giggle.
27:10 The Worm sounds exactly like Pac Man. Interesting. Did Atari steal it from Namco?
i hear that the pokey chip makes them random mushrooms appear all over the screen.
If you get a bad one it will make all the mushrooms all smashed over on one side :)
@@LyonsArcadebut what if everything just went wrong and all the mushrooms went lining all up on one side of the screen.
Please set up a shop in Florida
You troubleshooted the matsushita out of that monitor
Yeah it worked out pretty good :)
Where did you get the overlay? Looks Sharp. The track ball is bigger than centipede track ball?
Yes the Centipede trackball was 2 1/4" diameter, the Millipede one is 3". We got the overlay from www.ArcadeShop.com back in the day.... thanks for watching!
Joe´s you awesome
Not as awesome as you Wilder!
Matsushita ( matt-sa-sheeta )
Aka Panasonic
That's it!
Why would the put the traces on top of the board like that?
There's just so many traces they had to put them on both sides back then.
Centipede side art is so much more evil that millipedes side art. Both are cool and huge though.
Nothing like the 80s to release the DDT into the small ecosystem of pede land :)
Yeah I like the Centipede art better too but the Millipede art looks cool.....
@@LyonsArcade Oh i completely agree. Both have there place for sure. Millipede has the Archer which is cool.
I took a look at your website. If you delivered to Poland, my living room would soon be an arcade. Let me know when you change your policy on deliveries. lol P.S. Can the coin mechanism be converted to take Złoty? ;->
I've never even heard of Zloty, but probably :)
JOE CLASSIC, I'm very confused about why the B+ voltage can throw the arcade monitors V&H sync and hold signals off to be out of sync. Can you please explain why the B+ voltage can make a monitors V&H sync look scrambled on the screen? The schematic says the B+ voltage should be at 125V DC but you said it should be at 123V dc how do you know its B+ trim pot to set at 123V dc when the schematic says 125V dc?
That's a good catch Bill, I should have said 125v because that's what the schematics say. The B+ being off can make everything else be wrong because all the other voltages used to display the image are based off of the B+ voltage, once it's wrong all the other voltages are slightly wrong!
@@LyonsArcade The B+ is a "Bias Voltage" for the V&H Sync & Hold circuit, but why is the B+ Bias Voltage at a DC offset at 125vdc for the V&H Sync & Hold circuit? It doesn't make sense to me why the V&H hold & sync circuit needs a B+ bias voltage at 125vdc, any reasons why?
You have made a TRON arcade.
I was thinking my dad did the cabinet art/marquee on Millipede but thought it looked a little generic for him. So maybe he did, maybe he didn't. fwiw, which isn't much lol
If you want, we can act like he didn't since some people say they don't like it :) it does look different than his stuff though, so perhaps it was somebody else? The marquee and control panel are very nice, I don't know if he did stuff like that where it was just basically a layout, and color scheme, etc. though.
@@LyonsArcade I think he had mostly free reign for creativity (within certain parameters) except for licensed stuff. I remember Warner Bros were very strict with him when he did Road Runner.
@@LyonsArcade _"If you want, we can act like he didn't since some people say they don't like it :)"_ lol
Where can I get one of those Atari speaker bezels at Joe?
Great video btw!👍
They sell them at www.ArcadeShop.com . For many years everybody was sold out but they're back in stock now.
@@LyonsArcade Huge thanks, I appreciate the info and help. 👍
Game Over lol
Joe's Classic Video Games, are all pokeys the same for different games?
Yes sir, they're all the same if they're original Atari parts. They have made reproduction pokey pcb's (that fit in the sockets)... the reproductions work for the Arcade PCB's, but don't work for the home system stuff because there are a few functions of the pokey that were only used on the home systems.
@@LyonsArcade, that one guy threw me off a bit. the one who is developing that PokeyONE chip. i guess he just needs more time to perfect it.
You said you weren't that good, look good to me! Is this game still for sale? I'd like to know a price, would need to be shipped, thanks.
Ron it is still for sale on our website at www.LyonsArcade.com but unfortunately we don't ship.
Is that some sort of bootleg pcb? i realized its in spanish or french or something
The original Atari ones could be set to multiple languages with the flip of a dipswitch. If you accidentally hit a switch it puts it in the wrong language.
How do you prefer your pocky chips.
Me I like sour cream and cheddar and sometimes BBQ.
It's POKEY BABY
Very nostalgic, not... Strong Nostalgic!
Thank you Colecao Nintendo!
So now you put the bad board back in and see whats wrong right?
Yes
What he last maybe a min or two then look more quarter's lmfao
I'd watch capacitor replacement
We've done a few of those, we just try to do things that are a little different so everybody doesn't get too bored :)
I went to his sites and saw multigame cabinets. One using PacMan and I was in love.. but my wife would kill me.
You need to convince her it's her idea.
Could the image on the screen not be sharpened anymore? It looked a bit out of focus.
Oh probably Stephen. Anything else that you didn't like that you feel like complaining about, or did you accidentally enjoy the rest?
@@LyonsArcade Wow…… I was simply asking a question out of curiosity. No malice or sarcasm was implied. And yes I did enjoy watching the video. I’m pretty offended by your assumption of my intent.
It's pronounced "Maaaht Shooshta" (aka Panasonic). Dude, you REALLY need an oscilloscope.
I have an oscilloscope.
FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CANT FIND THAT WRAP AROUND MARQEE AND CPO HELP!!!
whoa am I seriously the first view?
Yes you are!
whoa
The b in pcb is board just so u kno
You're so much smarter than I am Tyler, good job!
@@LyonsArcade that wasn't an attempt to be a smart-ass but thanks just trying to further your knowledge just as u have done mine
Monitors are the worst >
Yeah it's like being a t.v. repairman sometimes!
That game sucks and milleapede and atari lol killer graphics on that display what is that 720p 1080p lmfao only like the consoles don't like throwing some quarter's in a game too play a lil bit then more quarter's its a nasty cycle
