ALL ACCESS YEAR END JOHN'S ARCADE REVIEW AND TOUR 2017! - PART 2

[@MartinAlejandroLiguori]

I love this channel, it is so casual and fun, Adam is a very nice person.

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks, Martin!

That cabinet at 2:30 -- I could have sworn I saw one at the Teddy Bear Arcade (in Boston, now long-gone) but with maybe a Taito game in it. This was maybe 1993 or 1994 so I don't remember the game, but the cabinet I remember well enough.

[@mattress5340]

Your beard rocks. Adam rocks. Pyrat rum rocks. Popcorn machine rocks. Your hats rock. Wobbly table literally rocks. Great end of year video John. I first saw you in last year's end of year video and have enjoyed all your content since then. Thanks for it all - you are a charismatic presenter - don't change!

[@Johnsarcade]

+Mattress lol. Thanks! :)

[@dabfacekillah2474]

John, could you do a series listing every arcade game in the order they came out? Maybe do a year per episode. That would be awesome. You could highlight the developers and publishers/distributors, talk about the rarity and level of success. I think you would be the best man for the job.

[@ukxvc]

Awesome vid as ever.. Always great to hang out with Adam. All the best for 2018.

[@jupreindeer]

That Vs. cab is a thing of beauty. Why, back in the day, I could see some place turning three of those into this island of Nintendo goodness. Such wonderful shape. Hope the spilled Coke only took out that common marquee. A shame it couldn't split in half to make transporting through narrow spaces possible.

[@CaptAwesumNo1Zone]

Happy New Year guys! Love the show, love all the knowledge and information you guys bring and the basement is legendary now. Hope to see more John's Kitchen episodes this year if he has time to fit into his crazy busy list of to-dos

[@RWL2012]

came back to watch the bit about the computer speaker amplifier :) funny thing is even turned up it would only be like 750mW to 1W RMS, but the size of the speaker and cabinet means that there's still a good body / depth to the sound!

[@eukat3ch]

Thanks for the awesome vid John!.. just got the tech support t-shirt in and im loving it

[@ArcadePlayersTV]

waoow this channel still alive, its good

[@tubejay1]

I have a popcorn machine and use those same packets. The trick is to melt the butter first. You can do that 2 ways. One, stick the packet inside the machine (not the kettle) and turn the warming light on. Or two, and what I usually do, get a bowl of hot water and stick the whole popcorn package into the hot water. It melts the butter, and then it flows out nicely. For whatever reason, my popcorn always seems to taste better too, when I melt the butter first. Maybe more butter? Maybe the butter being hotter when I throw the popcorn in. ---- Also for best results, leave it under the heat lamp for 10 minutes. Tastes best when the moisture has a chance to leave the popcorn.

[@arcadesurvival8469]

Miss your videos, still laugh when you guys talk about Adam's pole position board lol. Hope you are both well

[@benoit1335]

+John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech i would love to see a cleaning the PCB area! it can be done during winter too.

[@carloso5211]

Thanx for the vids John! Happy New Year! I live through ur vids and dream of owning my own arcade cabinet games one day. Even though they are mad expensive to buy and maintain not to mention the space, thanx to rasberrypie I am able to relive my childhood games. It's not exactly the same feel but good enough for now.

[@Riz2336]

Great part 2 dude, your arcade rocks. I didn't know the powerdrift had so many problems but I've played the shit out of it on the Sega Saturn and that one would be a keeper for me if I had it.

[@joesmoe71]

19:54 = that looks like Choplifter, which is an awesome game

[@Compucore]

Keep up the great work on your channel there John. Always interesting stuff.

[@andrewbutler9533]

Fantastic video as usual John :-) Quick question, when you visited Manchester UK last year, did you go to Arcade Club in Bury (near Manchester)? It's a great place.

[@puppetgirl3508]

I found a miss pacman arcade game at my town mall! But the cabinet was a little dirty but it was in great working condition!

[@ninjamaster3453]

That is a super nice split cab. Nice score.

[@delsarcade]

Dude that VS conversion kit with the case is BAD ASS as all hell. Glad it's going to a fellow collector!

[@tmapes1989]

Long time fan. Still working on my mame system, probably a bartop with a raspberry pi. Simply Austin has a great front end. Love the vids. Keep 'em coming!!!

[@bulletpoint728]

Thx for the awesome vid John!

[@tomamas14]

Dude i wanna goto the basement too!! but it's a far faaaarr away from Wellington New Zealand hahahah

[@larrysweeney12large]

Love these super long videos!

[@DLEEZY111]

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeah, hmmm, yeah, yeah, right, right, yeah, yeah, sure, yeah yeah....... oh really........ Awesome review! VGO for life!

[@Okurka.]

I stepped on it.

[@smarkthinking4914]

Lmao as son as I saw this he said it verbatim as you typed. Gotta love adam

[@kintozero3169]

You guys never got to opening the Ice Cold Beer bottom coin door!!

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

He might be doing that LIVE!

[@utubepunk]

Maxx Fordham! Yeah, didn't Adam mention he had some special tool to open it up?

[@kintozero3169]

Yup! He commented he had a tool for the job on part 1. As soon as John said Adam would be in this video, I thought for sure they would be opening that mystery coin door by the end.

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

Well, I guess you missed the area where he said he might like to do that live. But yeah, I guess Adam just got it, or they would have done that a long time ago.

[@MandoMike]

The VS hard case, would be left or right side depending how you ordered it? The marquee would be cut to either left side or right side depending on which game you wanted to swap out in the cabinet...

[@wizpin]

somehow this vid popped up in my feed again. John, you ok? We miss your videos man :D

[@Realmasterorder]

Love these Videos the All Access is always awesome and this year it was no Different Keep up the good work Johny

[@volvoguy804]

Awesome video! Keep em coming.

[@foxtoryah1000]

great vid! subbing! coming from Ireland-some of the arcade games you have are in an arcade i go to! and i am very happy! :)

[@delsarcade]

Castlevania vs is indeed different from the NES version. The NES came first, then they ported it to the arcade vs version. It's a bit more difficult in the arcade vs version. This guy here has a great video on the differences. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGaVoIaBa6iWl6M

[@eric197341]

Will you play Galaga already?!

[@delsarcade]

Adam needs a Multi-vs Lite for that bad boy. Then you can easily switch each side to 8 games with a knob. Saves wear and tear on the PCBs.

[@bigjohnvinegar6227]

Hey happy new year John. Tony in UK.

[@kevinbradley]

Let's see a tour of Adam's arcade

[@chuck12-82]

No year end video from the Hangar?

[@Johnsarcade]

I still plan on doing it. I am obviously behind. :)

[@chuck12-82]

John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech : Nice! Looking forward to it

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

Chuck: I didn't see one, so my guess would be... so far, no. Just a guess, though....

[@fookutube501]

My 8 or so post has been about the hangar..I really like the Hangar.I like the whole boss feel to it ,like i own it fell its awesome

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

Utube, "fell its awesome"? Huh, what do you mean?

[@retroforce6919]

Great video John! Let's get your car parked in the garage lol...

[@JustinSevenTwo]

Wow, same bottle of Pyrat? It doesn't last nearly that long at my place ;) It's very good stuff, I use it for tropical tiki-style drinks. Add some orange/peach/mango, or banana/orange/pineapple juice and you've got yourself a nice and quick tiki punch. Cheers!

[@wildernessgames]

Funspot has an upright dual vs system cab with Duck Hunt and Hogan's Alley installed, totally epic haha His cab looks brand new wow what a find! My goodness John you have a crazy PCB collection haha That Technos Japan PCB is a Double Dragon. Looking forward to the TMNT restore to commence, later man. -Mitch

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Happy new year John Love you mate Make sure you get hold of a popeye Cab this year 😜

[@Okurka.]

There is no such thing as a Popeye cab.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Okurka No way shock horror

[@bneyens]

I just knew there would be a video... I have a rainbow connection with John.

[@bneyens]

Adam says "sure" about a thousand times.

[@utubepunk]

Bob Marley Sure.

[@lancairw867]

yep yep!

[@pinmandan5164]

what are you on about ? it was only 999 times!! LOL

[@delsarcade]

I like that you're experimenting with the "on the road camera shots". But get yourself a proper mount man! Let me know if you need some pointers. It took me a while for mine to get the angles and mic inputs correct. But it's worth it.

[@krel]

I wouldn't put the darts in the Hangar. Avoid putting any more games there that have parts that can be stolen. Save yourself another headache. You'll be constantly replacing darts. Really looking forward to seeing if you can finally fix the Hantarex and the TMNT restore in the spring. Great work as always!

[@donnyf12]

Add 'Drill the lock on Ice Cold Beer' to the don't-buy-another-game-until-this-list-is-complete list

[@DaveRepairs]

great as always, you really do need a guest wireless mic !

[@Johnsarcade]

Yeah, I know. Only one mic input, though...

[@DaveRepairs]

you can come up with a plan im sure

[@DaveRepairs]

@@Johnsarcade just coming back as I teased u about last years missing year end review and we on this close for another year end review ... :(

[@DaveRepairs]

@@Johnsarcade Its now 2024, last YE was 2017 and I bet your basement is empty. I am now helping and fixing machines all over the UK and you was an inspiration for that .

[@M-NX]

congrats to Adam: awesome Cab

[@ArcadeJason]

space wars and space war are NOT raster infact it is the very first vector arcade machine. and highly sought after among vector collectors

[@Johnsarcade]

+Arcade Jason yes I know. Someone else pointed it out. I made a mistake

[@ArcadeJason]

all good buddy keep up the vids

[@Johnsarcade]

+Arcade Jason I've played the game too. Lol. I spaceddd

[@Kment011]

The top monitor on my PC10 duel is the same as the left monitor on his machine, where the very top of the screen is cut off. That means I need a cap kit?

[@Johnsarcade]

That's typically called "fold over" and yes, cap kit.

[@Kment011]

Thanks for the quick reply man. Alright, I've never done one before, but I'll watch a few videos and give it a shot when I feel confident enough

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

So, Adam, I guess ya meant "actual _cabinet,_ " rather than "actual game," since these games in the MAME system upstairs *are* the actual games already. Right?

[@jeremymtc]

Best episode of Wanmo Arcade ever!

[@smarkthinking4914]

What

[@fookutube501]

Adam look really relax in this one or it could be me

[@onecircuit]

Yeah I'm starting to get a little more conformable int front of the camera. ;)

[@CoindoorDave]

Fix that TRON light (below the control panel!!!!!!) :-)

[@delsarcade]

Was it Tim that got the Turbo cockpit in that warehouse raid?

[@Johnsarcade]

+DeLuSioNaL's Arcade no. Tim wasn't around then

[@lordbemylight]

Have you ever considered a VS Duck Hunt or VS Pinball PCB? That is tons better than the NES version! Pac-Man Plus is fun to play once in a while. It's funny how the ghosts disappear when Pac-Man eats the item.

[@Ft.Gagiano]

New sub from South Africa!😆👍 thanx for this awesome channel.

[@Johnsarcade]

Awesome! THANKS!

[@neighbordave94]

Our minivan did not make it in the garage this winter, first time, it’s bugging the wife

[@lostgamersproduction]

I love your videos, John...but there is one thing that always "grinds my gears" that I just have to mention to you. You (and Adam) keep saying that you have no more room. Dude...you have plenty more room! You are just not using your room in an efficient manner. First, clean and organize your garage and your "storage space" in the basement. I would bet that you can totally empty that storage space and still have plenty of room in the garage for working on projects and/or parking your cars. Second, move your office space over into the old storage space. Finally, do whatever rewiring and renovating you need to do. With a little time and effort, you would probably double your space and have a larger arcade...on both sides of the stairs! :)

[@Flashflood140]

do you play dragon spirit on your mame cabinet?

[@Johnsarcade]

+Flashflood140x I have. But not lately

[@ywcfuture3621]

Well the problem is you don't post every Sunday anymore, so maybe they do?

[@nolancampbell6139]

Space Wars is a vector game. It's a simultaneous 2-player, great game, $100 is a great price!

[@Johnsarcade]

Oh yeah. Look at that. It is. I really thought it was raster. I have played it too. OOOOOPS.

[@bigfoot8361]

dont knock the first red shell and judge the second red shell so when you land on it you bounce onto platform. easy

[@ChezArcade]

John put the damn Table decal I sent you on! lmao

[@Johnsarcade]

+Chaz's Arcade Gameplay & Restorations yeah! That sounds fun to me too!

[@ChezArcade]

John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech what lol

[@Johnsarcade]

Chaz's Arcade Gameplay & Restorations I'm just saying that sounds fun. :)

[@ChezArcade]

John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech lol do you still have it? The one for your table.

[@KolliRail]

You talk a lot about those Nintendo VS games but dind't mention my favorite VS game: Mighty Bomb Jack. You don't like it?

[@Johnsarcade]

+KolliRail I do love it!!!

[@susannahhernandez6667]

John, I have a very rare Chinese Hero PCB along with the Marquee..... I'd appreciate your help in guiding me to a collector who may be interested. Btw I enjoy your videos. Thank you for your time and hope to hear from you soon.... "We Arrreee iinnnn the Basement"

[@crusadergamer4995]

Great video

[@Bobbydog66]

1:29:55 Sounds about right sadly.

[@MylstarElectronics]

John says Space Wars is a vector graphics games, not raster games.

[@Johnsarcade]

+Mylstar Electronics yes. It's vector. I made a mistake. ;)

[@scottbordelli177]

Computer Spaceballs? Well... there goes the planet!

[@byss43551]

Connor MacLeod is a Highlander reference, i'm assuming. If not, that kid has a SICK name!

[@S1lentSw0rd]

Like the beard John 👍🏻

[@DrGreenThumbNZL]

You didnt even offer Adam some rum :(

[@KDHAYES1973]

I was thinking the same thing

[@onecircuit]

I can't drink that stuff. :) No alcohol for me per heath reasons.

[@ShesSometimesDoubleChocolate.]

I think ya gotta take that "New vid every Sunday!" bubble off now. ;-D (Oh, and while you're at it, remove "and pinball" from your logo heading, because "arcade and pinball" is either partly redundant -- "arcade, and arcade games with metal balls and pins" -- or it's like saying "pinball isn't an arcade game" even though it is.) Happy Groundhog Day.

[@smarkthinking4914]

Hey john 8 years 229 plays would be an average of 1 launch every 12.75 days

[@PikaStu666]

Hi John, if you’re reading this then the artificial butter wasn’t deadly! Rum should last indefinitely but may lose some flavour as time goes by. Oh and Adam has a new subscriber! Great video as always 👍

[@Johnsarcade]

Lol. I am still alive. :)

[@Biscuit-Triscuit]

God damn I love Mappy

[@evilash570]

On my vs. Dual System, the marquee’s are thick paper, behind glass. I wonder if Adam’s are the same, which would explain the stains on them. The glass and paper are not stuck together.

[@Okurka.]

3:05 John has a 20+ year old daughter?

[@Johnsarcade]

Not quite. But, close. :) I AM OLD.

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

So maybe he exaggerated how long those "red tents" were in there, then.

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

Heh, not 2 weeks ago; *3.*

[@scottbordelli177]

Dude... trademark that logo and sue the crap out of em!

[@DrGreenThumbNZL]

HEYYY GUYS

[@TorutheRedFox]

the marquee on Vs. SMB is making me cringe because of how awful of a condition it's in o o f

[@M-NX]

194x is a vertical game...its capcom, not snk

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

Oh, except that you actually *didn't* talk about _every single one of your arcade games_ in the last video. :-P

[@MrHarney]

Brilliant : )

[@delsarcade]

Thanks for the Twitch/Amazon advice. I just subbed now since I already have prime. Hope it helps you guys out.

[@Johnsarcade]

THanks, Del!

[@PurpleFoxArcade]

Harambe in Cinci.

[@portercarr7197]

I saw this guy at the Hangar when I was getting chicken wings.

[@Okurka.]

I saw this guy post the same comment in the past 10 videos.

[@M-NX]

Housekeeping Joke #27😁😁😁🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@paralentor]

Console PC gaming channels are a dime a dozen. Not sure why you repeatedly try to springboard this great channel over to the other one. I'm here for classic arcade games.

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks for the feedback. Just so you understand.. John's Arcade was "springboarded" off my console/pc gaming podcast. That came first. :)

[@hetrogamr84]

The Angry Video Game Nerd just made a video on the bullshit that is wobbly tables. And all I could think of was your sports one. Wobble wobble.

[@Neffers_UK]

Jon, you are THE worst camera man ever, haha. Not digging at you man, just a lil joke.

[@MystiqEevee]

1:08:07 John gets a email from himself? Lol jk

[@DeletedMediaYoutube]

So.. the wobbly table. John. You know it's annoying. Maybe you thought once a few hundred people mentioned how hard it is to watch, you adopted it as your thing. It's Not. A. Good. Thing. I can't hear you talk when your popcorn maker is taking up half of the screen and shaking around. Step it up man. You should have a cool looking fixed set for when you're in your most common space in the videos.

[@Johnsarcade]

The wobbly table is my co-host. :)

[@eric197341]

What is wrong with this guy? Lol

[@Johnsarcade]

Everything.

[@deeredude]

JA rules!!

[@TorutheRedFox]

early! yay!

[@skywarp727]

FFS John Harambe didn't kill anyone
