I would love to come to your next party but wifey dont understand 🤣 you are not a fan of pinballs or bubble hockey or shooting cabs? Im guessing your either a Doctor or Buinessman, congrats again!

[@AMindInOverdrive]

Just the sounds of the machines in the background brings back memories of my teens, going to the seaside arcades and being there with all the various machines making noise in the background....nice

[@evilwarcow]

I'm living in Utah, and I had an Earthquake the day after St. Patrick's Day of this year as well as all the many aftershocks. This house was built by contractors who were from California and they built it with a basement that spans about the entire footprint of the house except for the 2-Car garage and the full sized porch. Even this far out, we're still having aftershocks and such. With all that out of the way, I am going to say, that you have a very nice Arcade and I hope that you will keep going strong and well.

[@aaronreid8375]

I discovered a Neo-Geo in the wild for the first time in '90-91 and was blown away by Magician Lord. So that is probably my favorite game, but I also like Super Spy & Nam 1975 from that same group of original releases. Later games, definitely the Metal Slug and original Samurai Shodown.

[@SlikkNikk]

Aaron Reid The game that hooked me in 90-91 was Baseball Stars 2. Couldn’t believe how awesome the graphics were.

[@ArcadeFreak-gw5rp]

You have an absolutely beautiful arcade

[@Alpha17x]

I've got a few cabinets myself. This video is just pure inspiration. Great collection and amazing work on the restorations. It's nice to see the golden age of arcade gaming preserved like this. Playing Double Dragon in a 7-11 is one of my earliest arcade game memories. I'm fortunate enough to live in a city that has a very large arcade (2 floors) as well as having a few cabinets myself. And plenty of independent take-out restaurants have them. The only reason I never got myself a Metal Slug cab is because I can play it while I wait for my pizza to cook.

[@SlikkNikk]

Thank you for the kind remarks!

[@ShinobiShowdown]

Sick setup dude! They need a show to showcase all the best home arcades/mancaves.

[@terryback1773]

Sickest collection I’ve ever seen! Love those old school Nintendo cabs. Nothing like the artwork and look. Especially love the Popeye. Only thing you need is some 90s machines. Like NBA Jam, Turtles in Time, X-Men. My 2 personal favs when I was younger were Arch Rivals and Double Dragon. Would love to have a few of these machines, but they’re so expensive every place I look online. 😕

[@Sega_Dreams]

We don't have basements in Florida either, and I'm jealous of the people that can and do have them. Like you said, it really expands the livable footprint of the house.

Yep, my 2 car garage became my arcade, back in the day. Sadly, where I live now, we still don't have basements. It's ok though, the BIG external garage with an upstairs area is more than enough for my needs!👍

I like your selection. We have the same taste in games. Congo Bongo and Robotron belong in every home arcade. I watch a lot of these home arcade videos and Popeye, Carnival and Donkey Kong 3 are not too common, but both are great games. Kick-Man, Star Trek and Front Line are a couple more I used to love.

[@SlikkNikk]

Mufnstuf Thanks for the comment. I pulled Congo out recently and replaced it with Wacko. Also pulled Thief and added Black Widow. Will do an update video later this month. Thanks for watching.

Did you have to have a separate breaker/breakers/circuit to handle all of these at the same time? I'm about to have my garage enclosed and need to add plug ins and I assume a few circuits to handle these arcade games

[@SlikkNikk]

Yes, now is the time to think about it. As my room was already built, I had to get creative to get enough juice in there. I rewired one section of the room to the circuits with the pool equipment on the outside of the arcade through exterior wall. With the combo of what was existing and the 2nd circuit added, everything runs reliably. Been tested over 10+ hours during parties etc.

Curious to learn more about your score keeping from Iscored. What type of set up are you using? Touch screen monitor, computer etc.... ? looking to add something but didn’t know what type of hardware to go with.

I use my iPad to enter scores on iScored then display the site on my internet capable TV. Check out my “SlikkNikk Jr’s Arcade Tournament” video to see the setup in action.

[@hoody2141]

[@hoody2141]

SlikkNikk Thx ! This seems like a no brainer for $20. I will definitely have to get this. So were you able to create an additional event or tourney for the party so you didn’t have to override your ongoing home Arcade scores? And if so do they save and any limit on how many you can have in your iscored profile?

[@SlikkNikk]

Hello Christoph. I'll link the product you need below. Novus works wonders on plastic scratches. In addition, if you can buy a headlight restoration kit and use the polishing device in a drill, you'll achieve the best results. Good luck and let me know how it goes - www.amazon.com/Novus-7100-Plastic-Polish-Kit/dp/B002UCYRZU/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=novus&qid=1594996302&sr=8-1

[@SlikkNikk]

I’m in CA, but know the owner of Grinkers and have been there a number of times. Too bad it’s now permanently closed! Although I have tremendous respect for the MK franchise, I don’t love it enough to have a dedicated cab. I play it on a multicade when needed. I have a regular SF2 CE and SFA3 in the garage!

[@user-lg9hc1nl9u]

@@SlikkNikk Cool. Yeah, that sucks about Grinker's. I looked it up and saw that they closed. If I had a nice place like yours, I'd have an arcade like that too. I like your Budweiser Tapper and was happy to see you didn't have the Root Beer Tapper version ;) I am in a studio, so I have MKII and SFII Arcade1ups and have modded the MKII with a raspberry pi, so I can play Ninja Turtles, Primal Rage, and NBA Jam, along with all the MK games, as well as have scanlines, as I have the original cab that didn't have them. SF is the newer version that has scanlines and World Warrior artwork. I'm happy with them though. I always dreamed of owning my own arcade machine, but thought that if I ever did, I'd only be able to have 1 and that would have been an MK1 cab. So, to have both MK and SF, which are the main games I would have wanted, makes me happy, whether they are full sized or not. I have modded the artwork and controls on MKII to be as close to the original cab as possible. SF just needs a graphic below the controls. I feel the same way about the other games I have in the MKII cab as you do about MK. I am ok without dedicated cabs of them. However, if I had a place like yours, I would have dedicated cabs of them, and all 4 dedictated MK cabs. I still wish MKII was MK1, but I decided it was easier to perfect the art that was on it, rather than get a full MK1 art kit and convert it.

[@steadxman]

Bro this is very cool🔥 but I was looking to start an arcade collection too and a game room. I’ve seen arcade1up but the originals are way better. How did you find these or get started?

[@SlikkNikk]

I bought my first game almost 19 years ago and just added one at a time. I fixed and restored many along the way and learned a lot. I've made friends with other collectors. We occasionally buy, sell and trade with each other. Some came from Craiglist, a few from eBay, some from Facebook arcade collectors groups. I've never been afraid to have games shipped to me.....not cheap but it unlocks the whole country for you as far as finding games. But yeah, pick a game you really want and start the hunt. What game do you want? Let me know if I can help.
