Here it is, my year end review for 2016. This is PART #1!

[@juntistik]

Fun Fact, this video has the exact same runtime as the movie Titanic (1997) Thanks for the content John!

[@RWL2012]

juntistik I'll take this over Titanic any day!

[@robotdoom702]

I'm sinking I'll watch that movie

[@RalonsoF1]

That's BY FAR THE BEST "room tour" I've ever seen!! I'm more than impressed. You have to know that me too, grew up with the arcades you are showing and working with! I remember back in 1978 how I was smashed by the first arcade cabinet I encountered. It was Space Invaders. BTW I had also a very early experience as a little child with a Pong Cabinet in 1974.

[@otaken13]

Thank you, John! My inner child is ecstatic as usual for the annual tour!

[@vornamenachname3730]

Wow! More than 3 hours of pure fun. Thanks John.

[@rexleeh]

My father worked at a tire shop that had a Tron cabinet in the '80's. I was raised on it as a child and is still one of my favorite games. Didn't know there were people that hated on it. Such a classic and still fun today.

[@arcademuscleawesome2835]

It doesn't get much better than this! Thank you John, really enjoy your videos, time and energy you put into everything.

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks for watching!

[@exiles_dot_tv]

3 hours and this is only Part 1!? Does John ever sleep??

[@ninjamaster3453]

your year end shows are epic. don't ever change. I appreciate how you retell the whole story of everything. length is great so much ground covered.

[@onecircuit]

Our love was forged over a Mario Bros cap kit. :D

[@richardrahliv3652]

I dont usually comment on KZbin videos but I gotta say John this video here is exceptional. thank you so much for making cool stuff like this for us!

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks, Sean!

[@DonkeKongChick]

I think you hold player 1 and 2 at the same time to switch games....Donkey Kong was my first arcade cabinet-also because of watching King of Kong. I met a lot of friends through 80s gaming. Man I miss living up north! Best video ever John. I am glad you took the time to do a walkthrough. I love the stories. Also, how dare you have Jump Bug. I love that game. The one at Funspot is the best though. The sound is all messed up and the graphics. It really adds an element of difficulty. :)

[@Croy4306]

Can't believe I just watched all three hours worth. Awesome video as always.

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks! :) Hope you like it. :D

[@dodoubledragon]

John thanks for uploading this, I've been mad ill over the holiday period & these videos are absolutely awesome for taking my mind off everything as I recover, I tip my hat to you.

[@whatwhat]

I'm so stoked on the fix I did yesterday. A game I got a while back has always looked washed out. Well I unplugged the RGB connection on the chassis and plugged it back in and BAM!!! Turns out the connections are just loose inside the connection pin. What an easy fix and now my monitor looks sooooooooo good. Only other problem I'm having is the vertical position. (The pot on my remote board broke off)

[@randyfrench9401]

Hey John, glad you got those Pac Man sunglasses!! I worried about you getting them. Thanks for having it on the show. That really Rocked man! Hang on to my token! Thanks Bro! -Me

[@Johnsarcade]

The token is in my wallet!

[@williamwalkup988]

Randy you made that Pacman glasses video.....

[@binkman853]

Wow! Part 1.... Can't wait to watch this. These are my favorites. Thanks for everything you do.

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks for watching, Jeff!

[@K.DOT_WON]

yes! I've been waiting for this. you are amazing John and yet one day I want to be like you a arcade collector keep up the amazing work.

[@bneyens]

Damn my work day is wrecked! 3+ hours! Yes!!!

[@Kuronji]

I agree, missed your vids John, actually watched one earlier and was like..man I could use a new one. Perfect timing.

[@Johnsarcade]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@fusium]

Thanks for all the vids john its gonna take me a few days to watch this whole thing

[@geneg136]

I’m years late to view this but just wanted to say great video-you have an amazing collection! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@darkinertia2]

holy shit you should really try to figure out if your computer space was in jaws! thats crazy

[@Johnsarcade]

I know, right!? :) I like the odds!

[@chrishooper68]

That would just be SOOO awesome!!! I Love Jaws, but I must admit one of my favorites scenes in the movie is the arcade scene just because of Computer Space. LOL

[@jugglingembalmer]

I wonder what happened to the white one in Soylent Green.

[@deadly_sk1899]

darkinertia2 I

[@rbrtck]

@@jugglingembalmer Appropriately, it died and its remains were cannibalized for other Computer Space machines. ;)

[@LairdKrug]

From start to finish that was cool to see you run through everything! Great Vid!

[@33kingnaz]

Its the best time of the year!!!! Cant wait to watch this. Thanks for all of your hard work this year and i look forward to a new year of games. Happy New Year

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks for watching!

[@delsarcade]

Love the fact that you spent a ton of time on Mad Planets. Love that game.

[@tonebone7053]

yeah...what he said.

[@Realmasterorder]

Hey JOHN Have a Happy New Year man i wish you the Best for you and your Loved ones,i love your Videos and this one is a Real Treat ! wish i could be there enjoying some of that stuff with you. Am really Glad you did what u love to do in the Pub with the Arcades,its great when u can take it to the next level with your hobby and make it sort of a part time or full time job. A few decades ago you really could have made some Serious Money with that ! I cant wait for next part and also the Video you owe us from Hong Kong trip.Stay Cool Johny lots of regards from Greece !

[@RetroTech100]

This will keep me going for ages.Thanks for going through each cabinet John I'm learning a lot. Make sure you have a lie down after this mammoth video lol.

[@tthurman2524]

Good stuff, I've been waiting for this one!

[@mathesar]

Great video! it brought back memories of playing a lot of these games in the arcades back in the day,.

[@bneyens]

My official favorite channel of 2017!

[@Johnsarcade]

Woot! Thanks, Bob. :)

[@Hellfireknightmare]

I'm subscribed and I see it's been a year since you uploaded a video. I really enjoy your videos. I gotta say sometimes your repair methods result me a little harsh to call them somehow but at least you succeed on make them functional again and I love your basement. I would love to have an arcade like you but I don't have the room for that amount of cabinets, my game room has 20 systems (From Atari 2600 to all Sega and Nintendo consoles and new Xbox and PS ones with hundreds of games) and a single arcade emulation cabinet with 40K roms (full romsets and MAME library) but I really envy you since not all arcade games can be emulated like Monaco GP or Computer Space. I hope you upload new videos soon because I miss you and your basement. Lol

[@NukTap]

JEEEZ JON!!! So I recently finished rebuilding the wiring harness on our Ms. Pac-Man that got stuck in a fire. And I couldn't believe it but when we plugged it in, we heard a medium buzz. Okay, so I hit the start button and behold! It works! Unfortunately, the monitor has no picture even though it is getting plenty of voltage. We're talking with Buffet Arcade Man to see if he can figure it out, though.

[@AdamDIY]

A thumbs down?! Come on!! Thanks for another colossal video John!

[@Johnsarcade]

Yeah, wtf! :)

[@Mnpctech_Giveaway_PC_Mods]

Jump Bug is a true vintage treasure

[@AngryGam3r]

.....hate to see your electricity bill lol. Amazing set up though! Living the dream right there.

[@that209gamepicker]

i cant believe i watched the whole video from start to finished! haha wow pretty kool to see arcades back and operating in public places!! is that kof 98 still a bootleg? lol :)

[@vbaros22]

Great video John! Looking forward to 2017!

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks, Victor! Me too! :)

[@kamiboy]

Once more into the basement dear friends...

[@briandecker8403]

Well there goes my afternoon...:) Keep up the great work!!!!!

[@Adrian-yp7nb]

I watch this and end up crying.... Happy memories of early 80s Arcade gaming..... Pure history in your videos John... Rygar (Legendary Warrior) you ever played? Tecmo 1987, I believe 😀 🎮 ❤👍

[@StevenSeed00]

John, you are not alone in your love affair with Tron. I love the original movie and when I was a teenager, I played the game constantly. I really love the sound effects and music. One day I hope to own one if I can find one at a reasonable price.

[@kaelonvann5474]

I love seeing the Artwork i sent you when you do your End of year Review!!

[@tonyurmate]

Hi John , I just love your arcade, I am so jealous :) I think my favourite cabinet of all time has to be Tron , not the game so much but that cabinet with the black lights is freeking awesome. It looks so futuristic and at 44 years old I've only played it once when I was young in a theatre in Castlebar here in Ireland. My dad was buying some arcade games from the arcade room slash bar in the theatre, but unfortunately he didn't buy the Tron game. I think the closest game to Tron we ever had was Gorf, with the similar joystick. Anyway John I hope your arcade career goes from strength to strength.

[@vincefaro4970]

John great Video, Love the end of the year Videos. For Track and Field , you use a popsicle stick and put it between your middle finger and and your other two fingers and it makes your running super fast.

[@Johnsarcade]

I remember a similar technique but with a comb. Damn cheaters! :)

[@bobbyjack8033]

Guess the troll had to give a thumbs down, but traffic is positive good or bad so justice is served! ! Kept waiting for a slow motion of running a red light or a car crash at the end :0 haha. Big thank you to John for all he does for the hobby, good info!

[@memyopinionsche6610]

Hay jhon I was wondering if your going to do a end of year review for 2019? I so do miss them. Also was curious if you got the Firefox and i-robot fixed. And got the electro mechanical pinball machine working? And congratulations on the MORTAL KOMBAT 2. It looks sweet. I don't know what happened and why you stopped making videos. But really do miss your content you really go in-depth on arcade repair and haven't found any other channels who do that. So just wanted to know.

[@EV0L13]

Ditto....Come back John!!

[@retrorama3355]

Watching in 2021 starting the year off right!

[@Johnsarcade]

SOON

[@dolphin19721000]

where's the BABY PACMAN! lol my favorite arcade channel..Thanks for keeping arcades alive

[@Johnsarcade]

I sold it long ago. :( I do miss it.

[@dolphin19721000]

John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech I regret selling my Ice Cold Beer & Star Wars arcade...but had no room for new punballs...got a Revenge from mars because of your channel and a Road Show..

[@montyplaid]

Im sure you already know this but Computer Space also made an appearance in the movie Logans Run. Didnt know it was in Jaws to. Such a cool and neat looking game for its time.

[@pixelatednate4864]

I heard Pole Position finish booting at around 4:46. I heard that "BOOM" Sound effect

[@TheTurnipKing]

1:58 It would seem like now is the time to address Paperboy while you have the extra space.

[@BTGames54]

Loved the cameo by Jim Caldwell showing his mad dog face while getting rolled by the Packers *sigh* same old Lions 🦁😣

[@jugglingembalmer]

I just want to be able to SEE a Computer Space in real life. When I went to the Frisco, TX museum, their specimen was in the back awaiting a more accurate paint job (or so they told me).

[@F0r3v3rT0m0rr0w]

you know id love to watch you get better at 720. the game looks awesome !

[@vincefaro4970]

John, Actually that would be a great episode all of the hacks-cheats for your games. Like Track an Field using a comb, Paperboy bonus round going past the track on the far right at the end, Tempest a certain level you die with the proper score and you get like 40 credits. And so on.

[@ellenconsebido2967]

Thank you john for the great detail! I love you.

[@craigcooper1967]

Every dam game is a CLASSIC... nice selections :-D

[@Johnsarcade]

Yes, they are. We aren't messing around. :D

[@lancairw867]

Track and Field is one of my favorites 👍🏼. I always used a pencil or pen for the buttons to go faster 😀

[@aussiecoastie72]

Totally loving your channel 😍🙏🏻

[@spankminister]

Wow, I'd heard of Major Havoc but never seen the game! Honestly, I was kinda dubious about why people got really excited over vector games, but that's really cool how it switches between so many gameplay modes.

[@Johnsarcade]

Yeah, the game is seriously awesome! I love it.

[@williamwalkup988]

Audio Jacks for headphones on Video Games. Great idea back then.

[@bneyens]

Wow, finally got through this video! I had to break it up over 3 days. So good. I wish I didn't live so far...

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks, Bob!

[@laurababyyy1]

I think the game you should get rid of is paper boy, the reason is that it’s crashed and can’t be fixed,so you could probably trade it for a mappy cabinet at hangar pub and grill, and bring it down to the basement. Make sure the marquee does not actually hit the basement roof. Also. You’ve been gone for years.we miss your videos John.

[@Damon0306]

Don't ever put that Revenge from Mars on the location! It must stay protected in Johns Arcade!

[@MagicFerret69]

Paperboy is one off my favourite games. Not played in a while

[@djsquibby]

Cool video John, it's no small feat filming over three hours. Not to mention the editing and upload time to KZbin ;)

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks, DJ!

[@chriskramarczyk4161]

Time to get my John's Fix

[@preservationera9768]

Damn, that hangar's impressive. Only time you'll ever see a dedicated DK3, Gaplus, US Mappy, and red DK in one place. Though I assume you're aware that the board of the latest is not from an actual red DK, and thus doesn't have the ladder trick? I seem to have extreme luck finding rare dedicated cabinets. I've seen a fully working Baby Pac-Man, original red DK (with the original board with the ladder trick), and the rare DK, DK Jr., and Mario Bros. cabinet. Unfortunately, the place with Baby closed down, but the other two still stand.

[@rjclarkeePincadeRebel]

Hurry up we want Part 2...haha

[@pikachuandrew99]

HAPPY 2017JOHN

[@Neffers_UK]

Yay, time for the annual "I suck at 720!" video ;) Thanks for the long vid to chill out to while soldering stuff. Quick question if you feel like answering, who covers the insurance for your games at The Hangar? I dunno how you sleep at night having them out there, there's a lot at stake haha. HNY anyway John. Looking forward to PT2 and future vids.

[@atariforever2002]

Part 2?!? Come on John! Hurry up! lol

[@starfox3311]

Man I'm gonna miss Mappy being at the hanger but I understand that games have to be cycled out. Good Luck.

[@55SuperShadow]

When I got my game (Ms. Pacman) I had a similar experience as you with your Donkey Kong, where I overpayed and the picture wasn't the exact machine I was getting. However, I think I ordered from a business, so they had a lot of restored machines already ready to ship, so I got mine in about a week in a half, and it has worked great the whole time I've owned it.

[@summerswinterer9247]

Zookeeper has all the sounds and effects that Robotron had. Haven't seen Firefox since it was in the arcade in 1985 avoiding the cruise missle was very difficult. Ever come across Crazy Climber? How about Vanguard. Or how about the laser disc animated games like Cliff hanger or it's more popular cousin Dragonslair?

[@Duke_Togo_G13]

I'm on the hunt still for a Cliffhanger or Badlands arcade games. Someday they will pop up and I will be ready. I just picked up a Mat Mania for 250.00. Next to Pro Wrestling on NES.. It was one of my favorite arcade wrestling games.

[@MrNewminds]

I picked up a Cliffhanger laser arcade am looking for a Badalnds myself.

[@GankyLeg]

Aw man i always wacted ur vids since the mario bros reveiw and i was hooked i lover ur bids man

[@GankyLeg]

I meant i love ur vids oops lol

[@K1NGARTH3R]

Pretty epic video, longer than most feature length films and it's only part 1!!! Will part 2 be ready for the weekend?

[@MandoMike]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos John, Great Arcade!... Side note: Not sure if this was mentioned before but I noticed your "I-Robot" has the headphone jack/volume control area just like "Firefox", Was that factory that they hadn't installed it?, or someone covered up the area before you acquired the machine? just curious. Thanks For the vids!

[@Johnsarcade]

It's the same cabinet but I, Robot doesn't have the headphone jack so Atari covered it with a plate.

[@theorgandude]

still think you need a space invaders, even if you find it monotonous, it's a popular game, the artwork is incredible, your guests will love it, and without question it's iconic.

[@RWL2012]

theorgandude agreed! And Galaga or Galaxian

[@RWL2012]

Yay!!! 😃 Gonna stick this on this evening 😄

[@silverbankruptcy]

Jump Bug Looks like an Early version of Super Cobra. Oh Franz, Is there No Hope?

[@scnason1300]

nice cpu space John Def my favorite one. a beauty

[@Johnsarcade]

For sure. I love that thing!

[@19jcg64]

I just found your channel and I'm so jealous!

[@Johnsarcade]

+19jcg64 thanks for joining us!

[@krowland7584]

need more arcade outsiders john

[@WinSchutten]

Funny to see pinball succeeding now. We can have all the videogames we want on our phones with us. But the feel of physical balls on a playfield is still only achievable with a physical pinball machine. They outlasted arcade machines, who wouldve seen that coming in the 80s?

[@Johnsarcade]

Yeah, pinball is alive and well right now. It's doing great.

[@wilhelmbeaston8003]

Hey John! I was hoping you would cover the progress you've made with your Retro Pi. Have you installed any attract modes, etc? Thanks!

[@Joliie]

LOL didnt notice it was a part 1, was thinking you are never going to make it to the garage John... well little did I Know

[@Johnsarcade]

ha! WE HAVE MUCH MORE TO DO! #SOON

[@padistedor]

Killer arcade. Just killer.

[@gb.recordings]

I saw a Computer space a while ago in the 90s in a arcade in Brooklyn ny I didn't know what it was nobody was playing it this with at the time when millipede and centipede and miss Pac-Man was popular at this time

[@sf98]

For a second i thought you added separate ways to the end of the video....................I'm telling Johnathan Cain :)

[@SionynJones]

Have you thought about a crazy taxi for the hanger?

[@Johnsarcade]

I have! There are so many great games that we can put there. I would personally love that game there. Great game.

[@dinkyflix]

Castlevania is the same game as the NES version, but VERY, VERY much harder. Enemies deal about twice as much damage and the timer counts down WAY faster, making it nearly impossible to go after many of the hidden bonus points/health.

[@kodajsciuto1095]

You should try the Twobit score Pacman 12 in 1 daughter board that goes on your PAC MAN board it has 8 versions of PAC MAN with a choice of slow or fast

[@RWL2012]

Koda J Sciuto are the other 4 games non-PacMan games?

[@brandongamboa6315]

awesomeness

[@Flanneryshanedward]

had a browse around utu be and there is a video of a arcade game it says from 1969 called sea raider . It's restored beautiful. made by midway. This must be close in time to computer space...

[@frostyhighway9011]

ICE COLD BEER was cool, ok gimmy a ICE COLD BEER NOW!

[@DJThinK707]

Get that MAPPPY!!!!

[@adam4349]

i wish we have a good arcade places in Knoxville Tennessee

[@TheSkellingtonGhost]

Big fan. followed your channel for a couple months so far. Fell in love after the first video i stumbled opan. Baby Pacman. What happend to that game? did you trade, sell, or it broke?

[@Johnsarcade]

I sold it a long time ago. And... I regret it. :( Thanks for watching!
