[@jonnym4670]

a few years ago ii wanted to buy an r360 i couldn't find one anywhere on the internet to buy the only place i could find one that sold was back in 2007 from what i was reading there was only ever 150 of them sold worldwide

[@venomtang]

You couldn't even even get through Outrun STAGE 1 without crashing? Are you serious? you need to pack up and retire this channel, and I dont mean that as a joke. This is p athetic, really. what a fraud

[@dronegeeks]

Hi, just a quick message. Your server security certificate expired 4 days ago, it now brings up a warning stating the connection is non private and may be trying to steal your information. I'm sure this is ultimately hurting the traffic your site sees. Hope this has been of help! I'd love to come check out your arcade when my son is a little older.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Born in '70. Been a video game nut my whole life. Have only seen time traveler ONCE in the wild. I cannot believe the stuff this guy has. Revelation.

[@chaeobods]

Same. Skegness Pier.

[@Waremonger]

The workmanship that Craig puts into his cabinets is amazing. What a great idea he had to 100% accurately replicate the original cabinets. The arcade tour was awesome but I really loved the workshop tour way more.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

The guy is a real master craftsman and extremely cleaver.

[@stephenelliott7071]

What a humble talented guy. The hydraulic arcade games like Outrun were amazing back in the day and you got to experience that again. The R360 was insane and looked a lot of fun lol.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Great fun playing Outrun deluxe it’s such a better experience.

[@JR-mr1tw]

They do have one in Leeds

[@TheStevenWhiting]

I was always too scare to go on the R360. Saw it at Sega World at Trocadero back in the 90s.

[@dodgey99]

@@TheStevenWhiting I played the one in the Tracadero. A good one-off experience. Also played their 4 player VR headset game - choppy as hell but they tried!

[@FiveDORRA]

That's not humble, he probably has some illness, he didn't smile once or seem interested

[@joebristowtechnologicalbre2073]

Fantastic collection of games and what an engineer he is, the Fred Dibnah of arcades!

[@TheArcadeArchive]

That’s a really nice compliment to Craig 👍

[@backupintheday9710]

He has some great machines in there. If I had a room like this though I would make it exactly like an 80's amusement arcade though. By which I mean.. A Old Period correct Cigarette Machine. Ash trays on stands. Tea/Coffee/Hot Choc Machine. One of those change machines etc. All decor / carpets / lighting all of the era.

[@acertainshape]

I like these reserved British craftsmen. If this were in the US, the guy would be jumping off the wall boasting and plugging his business every minute. Craig knows his work speaks for itself; he doesn't need to sell sell sell.

[@D_VAULTZ]

Craig is an absolute don of the ancient heritage. Full spectrum dominance, Well pldarchive

[@mrc6032]

Thank God for people like Craig who not only preserves what is good memories for many childhood, but also his dedication in repairing them. Thanks to arcade archive in introducing us to this amazing person.

[@fooflyz]

I can't even imagine how much time and money Craig has put into that. Incredible stuff.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

He’s a dedicated Arcadian that’s for sure. Thanks for watching

[@tom11zz884]

May explain why he looks so miserable

[@TheBigExclusive]

It saves a lot of money when he buys machines that are broken and fixes them himself.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

[@blackcurtains4710]

Inheritance.

[@SpaciesArcade]

Alex! This is jaw dropping! So many deluxe cabs, an R360 and rare/sought after cabs in one collection.... and not only that, he makes perfect reproduction cabs... WOW! Thanks for capturing this and big thanks to Craig for sharing....Look forward to a Part 2 if you get the chance. I have no other words!

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks Gregg When you thought you’d seen on the collections in the uk another collector pops up with a mind blowing amount of very cool games. Glad you enjoyed it mate

[@EQOAnostalgia]

This just reminds me of better days, before my nation was turned into a third world crapper. "Gimme better days, better daaaaaays!" 20:10 i remember that in a local arcade. Blew my mind back then. Craig is definitely doing some amazing work here. God bless!

[@draculaman]

As a UK collector myself, I cannot even begin to comprehend how much this costm, especially when compared to if this was in America. Insanely beautiful collection, really well put together

[@TheHobbyLodge]

Just wow, that R360 just brings back memories of bunking off school to go up to Trocadero in London, I remeber being blown away by how cool that game was (being younger I had the stomach for it). Such an impressive place not just the games but the setup and machinery for it all as well.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Cool you got to play it bitd Martin I think I would have loved it as kid but as I’ve got older I’m not so keen on being span around😂 Thanks watching mate

[@seantagg3640]

Thanks for taking the time to arrange and visit Craig’s collection and workshop. It really is one of a kind and you’ve captured something really special right now that can be looked back on by many hobbyists in the future. Craig’s work in parts manufacture and whole machines building is second to none and he shipped me parts for my OutRun all the way to Aus several years ago. Outstanding guy with a huge knowledge and skill set.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks Sean I feel extremely honoured to have been invited in to film his collection, he’s one of A kind that’s for sure.

[@LazlowUK]

Love guys like Craig, type of dude an apprentice would do well to learn from

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Oh definitely old school and lots of patience

[@ArcadeAzrall]

What an amazing game room! Great video mate. You're a braver man than me though, I don't think I'd be able to last that long in the R360. Craig should be protected at all costs, what a workshop! What a guy!

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks Allan Glad you enjoyed the video as much as I enjoyed making it 👍

[@ulysees321]

What an exceptional individual Craig is, Stunning collection, and having the knowledge to not only keep these machines alive but refabricate and modernise them to an extent Stunning, cant be many of them R360's left in the world, i remember seeing one in Segaworld/trocadiro about 21 years ago, never managed to ride one, and to fat now ha

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks for your kind words I’m sure Craig would really appreciate it 👍

[@chrisfearn4837]

I would pay good money just to spend a day in his arcade. Absolutely stunning

[@djassassinuk]

From the moment I read about the SEGA R360 as an arcade loving 10 year old I was itching for my chance to play on one. By the time I finally stumbled upon one in a massive arcade in Barcelona back in 1994 I had already had the opportunity to have a go on quite a few gyroscopes. These ranged from a very uncomfortable standup one that bruised my arms and legs to some rather nice sitdown variants like those that NASA guys used to train on. There was a fairly hefty queue for the R360 that day and when it was finally my turn to get on it, I buckled up, ready to play G-LOC: Air Battle and the proceeded to spend my entire turn throwing as many barrel rolls and sharp turns as I could at the machine. I was so focused on putting the cabinet through it's paces that I lost all focus on the game objective and ended up in tears of laughter at the sheer ridiculousness of it all. One of my friends was next in line to play and was baffled by my antics, she kept asking what the hell I was doing, to which I just kept laughing and telling her I was having fun. I was fortunate to have had that gyroscope experience prior to finding an R360 as I was not dizzy or sick at all after my turn and went straight back to the start of the queue for another go! Although this time I would actually make the effort to play the game properly and go on to complete the mission with a safe landing. The game was actually made to be pretty short, I guess to avoid one player being on the machine too long due to it's popualrity and the capacity for projectile vomiting to occur. It was and probably still is my ultimate arcade experience memory and it is certainly one I cherish. I really did love the arcades back in the day, what a time it was to be alive :o) ... RE: Craig Walker: What an awesome collection this guy has! Must be very hard work keeping on top of it all. Excellent work that man!

[@raymondpatrick430]

That R360 game looks like so much fun! I miss arcades so much. They had a darkly lit atmosphere that was so relaxing. Great video!

[@yoshimitsu1977]

Ok, the guy knows how to handle big contraptions. And also, the standard melancholy face of the cabinet collector!

[@StonerJames]

Man, seeing all these classic arcade machines took me back to my childhood in the 80s of when me and my friends would spend all our time at them. I don't know how many hundreds of quarters I've pumped into those games as a kid. Those were the days. If only I could turn back time...

[@TheArcadeArchive]

If I could turn back time, i hear a song coming on 😂

[@derealized797]

This got me thinking back just seeing this, and while there was, for a few years anyway, an arcade in my home town that i hung out in... the most nostalgic thing for me though. Was on these yearly vacations we took (late 80s early 90s) and while staying at a particular camp ground along the way. They had an entertainment room. Pool table, vending machines and arcade cabinets. I used to sneak off to it in the middle of the night while one else was around. Took my time to appreciate the sounds, the soft glowing screens, warm summer breeze coming in. Just something about it, It was my favorite part of the trip. Being by myself in that room and the feeling of freedom i had.

[@glenfireblade]

Dang !! amazing collection !!! I remember my older cousin lee playing the R360 in an arcade in portsmouth when we little I was too scared to try it, him puking up his candy floss after playing is a treasured memory of mine :o

[@filejacker00]

What an astonishing fella he is. All the hard work he's piled into something so niche is just testament to his passion. The world needs more people like you two.

[@AysahSpades]

The R360 is one of the most hilarious things I've seen haha. I played it ONCE as a kid at Sega World in Trocadero (London). I thought it was insane at the time and the idea of it just blew my mind as a child. After finishing my session, I had enough Lol.

[@gamehulk]

Amazing. That guy is living the dream. In awe of this whole setup.

[@LurgsHowToGuides]

Amazing. Long after we are all gone let’s hope all this kind of stuff is still working and in museums etc like your amazing place. Great video

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thank you 😎👍

[@Jasons_Arcade_PLUS]

This is NEXT level arcade refurbishing and collecting! Hats off to you sir, from USA !

[@Ed-eq5kd]

I always wondered where all the machines went after the Trocadéro shut, now I know. What an amazing collection with some lovely rare cabs. I remember being amazed by the hologram cab, unable to work out how it could be possible. I also remember watching people play the championship boxing game, some people were so into it that the machine looked like it was being assaulted. As for Glock, I used to get sick just watching people play, and that was without the sausage roll and cake. Great work in bringing up this to us 😊

[@ordyne]

Nothing here from the Troc but thanks for watching.

[@K9arcade]

Ordyne out here doing gods work bringing these legends back to life. seeing that R360 powered on and spinning was neat, and I've always wanted to play on a Cycraft for myself as I often see them overseas running Initial D 💙 Long Live The Arcades

[@Jef_Vermassen]

The amount of tools and machines... sheeshj. Mighty impressive, same for his collection and work ethic. Brilliant!

[@retrobitstv]

Amazing collection; the deluxe Outrun sit-down would be my pick as favorite as well. Thanks for taking us on this tour!

[@willd6215]

Funny how the aim of the game on that 360 contraption became keeping it from moving around and prevent sickness

[@0mnis14sh]

What a guy, I hope he gets an apprentice to pass all his knowledge to.

[@DIZZYDAZZLER2011]

Very impressive, surprised Craig didn't mention much about the sourcing / production of the artwork on the cabinets as they looked spot on.

[@danniblo8904]

What a fascinating guy! I want his full back story. Enigma!

[@JenniferinIllinois]

OMG, that R360 setup is unbelievable!!! I would lose my lunch for sure. Poor Alex! The whole collection is unbelievable!!!!

Another minute on that thing and I would have lost it 😂 Thanks for watching as always

Only one word to describe this… phenomenal 😮

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Cheers steve 😎👍

[@Retro_Russ_]

I’m sorry Alex- as soon as you said “oh my god, the sausage rolls are comin up!” I couldn’t stop laughing! What an incredible game room! Not only are the cabinets themselves incredible and rare- their condition is simply amazing! They all look brand new! 👍🏻

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Haha yea wasn’t a good feeling having sausage rolls spinning around like that 🤢 Thanks for watching Russ

[@electricadventures]

Oh wow wow wow, so many cabinets you just don't see. Love all the Sega cabinets, and even a Choplifter, love the game, it's hard, but it is lots of fun to play. And a fantastic Atari line-up, would love to play some of those one day. And all those full-size cabs, with motors etc, he really would have his work cut out keeping them going. That R360 is definitely mental! Wow that Star Wars cab replica is amazing. He has all the pro-gear setup for sure, very cool that someone is making more cabs.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

It’s very impressive doing all this work on his own,it’s incredible. So many rare and great games all one private collection it’s mind blowing. Thanks for watching Tony

[@JIMBO8472]

praise Craig for his hard work

[@DadLadsGaming]

That was absolutely unreal....huge thumbs up to Craig for letting you show it to us all👍👍👍 Total blast from the past with Heavyweight Champ. I remember playing that in the late 80s in Holland whilst away on a Football trip👌

[@TheArcadeArchive]

That’s incredible you’ve played Heavy weight Champ I’ve never seen it before. Hope he gets it going as I’d love to play that. Thanks for watching Mate

[@lordbacon4972]

The deluxe Outrun arcade machine is also my all-time favorite -- the blaring iconic music together with the machine just takes me back in time every time. My 2nd favorite has to be the original Star Wars arcade game where you are an x-wing pilot and go through multiple stages to ultimately bomb and destroy the death star!

[@TheStevenWhiting]

His knowledge and skill is amazing.

[@muninraven3327]

That workshop is beyond anything I have ever seen. Astonishing. I could watch a three hour deep dive into every nook and cranny. 😍

[@Asterra2]

1. That opening is fire. Really full-sounding synthwave. 2. I never knew Carnival wasn't developed by Sega themselves. TIL. 3. My local arcade actually had both Choplifter and Time Traveler (albeit briefly). 4. Major Havok. A long time ago, the creator of said game was prowling forums and mentioned in passing that he originally planned for the final level to be this gigantic maze, but ran out of time. There was some talk about possibly tweaking the ROM to achieve his original intent. Obviously nothing ever came of that, but that was a rare instance of the retro 80s having a voice in (relatively) modern times. 5. Heavyweight Champ. Games like this exist to remind me that even though I grew up during the golden age of arcade games, there were plenty of titles that predated my experience by a number of years. Generally that era before CPUs and RAM were a given on arcade boards. To me, they may as well be in the same realm as that film-based shark shooting game briefly seen in the movie _Jaws._ Stuff I read about, as opposed to being able to tap a childhood memory. It's a stark segregation.

[@TheFlushentity]

Absolutely amazing, well done Craig for such an incredible collection of retro equipment. I would love to see more content like this, the R360 brings back amazing memories of visiting Piccadilly Circus as a 13yr old boy. I couldn’t afford to ride it myself at the time but have fond memories of my brother taking it for a spin

[@ctrlaltrees]

I know I've only been watching this channel for a relatively short time (since you started moving into the mill with Neil) but this channel has really gone from strength to strength even in that short time and this video is a shining example of that. Thanks for this detailed and fascinating look at an amazing collection! I think it's about time I joined your Patreon. 😁

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks for your kind words and your support Rees

[@STAXONDECK1]

Didn’t expect that level of equipment pretty impressive

[@worldsend69]

The arcade is jaw dropping but the workshop took my mind and drop kicked it. Oh and anyone that thought they might recognise the name Archer Maclean, I had to google it because it was oddly familiar, he was a British video game programmer who developed one of my all time favourite games, International karate, mind blown again.

[@daverowland9860]

Yes sad we lost Archer this year

[@mug9468]

Arcades are literally part of our history. I've spent so much time in arcade saloons, much like many of my firends. Of course by the evolution of home consoles, they went silent over time. It's amazing to see that someone has the means and knowhow to keep these running.

[@devastator200]

This is absolutely incredible. Like wow!!! Just simply amazing to watch, what a knowledgeable humble engineer Craig is.

[@discolegend2000]

Fond memories of playing the R360 at the Trocadero in the late 80's. What an experience. On a related note - the last time I was at Arcade Club in Leeds (perhaps 2021) they had a deluxe Powerdrift that had the hydraulics jacked up so high that I practically had to hang on to the cab to stop it throwing me out. Probably the closest thing to the R360 experience I've had in decades :D

Amazing collection and workshop. I saw and played most of these games back in the 80s to mid 90s. The best thing about living in a seaside town in my youth was the large number of video game arcades. I think Hastings had about 6 or 7 back then with three of them (Out of This World, The Deluxe and the one beneath a nightclub) being particularly big.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

My earliest memories of playing games by the seaside was Hastings at Smarts amusements and I still remember seeing 4 brand new Gorfs foil row and remember being blown away by the speech. Find memories. Thanks for sharing your memories

R360 that's my holy grail, I actually bought the house I live in with the R360 in mind, I have a hangar in the back with 3 phase power and a big gate to move it in.

But also looking for a Space Harrier Deluxe of which I had 2 a long time ago but needed to sell them for 150 euro back then because I had no space.

Kids today genuinely won’t understand. This is like a magical place. That feeling I get even now when hearing the music from the machines.
