FYI: Tim just let us know today that After Burner & Space Harrier have been upgraded to LCD screens. We've created a list of every single arcade game you can find in Niagara Falls. It's free for everyone on our Patreon page! www.patreon.com/posts/95034307

[@marbles8641]

Thank you!!! It was Skylon I was thinking of!

[@HL2Striker]

For someone who lives in germany where theres almost next to none of these it was a very cool showcase of arcade games. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences.

With arcades dying out, this is basically a nature preserve for them.

Hopefully this will cause more people to check them out

[@trouty606]

If you're ever out by the Chicago area in the US, look up Galloping Ghost arcade. It's the largest arcade in US as far as I know, they have something like over 800 games and it's absolutely insane. My husband and I went a couple years ago and it was an awesome experience for two people who grew up with arcades.

[@gracekim25]

Oh man we can’t let it die out, I love arcades too much 😭 I want to experience all the cool 80’s ones too❤️

As someone who lives near the falls all I can notice is how visibly out of season this footage is which makes me think that this took months of editing

[@rerez]

It took a LOT of time to edit. 😂

[@mackenziewoloschuk7375]

Given how much footage the guys had, of course it was gonna take a lot of time, and even then they were only able to knock it down to just under an hour and a half of video. Which is still impressive as heck.

[@adamsipione]

Thanks for letting me tag along with you all. It was a fun couple of days :)

[@rerez]

It was a blast!

[@_TheShowStopper]

Really great episode and it's really cool to see you guys so close to Western New York where I live. I miss the days of the arcades so much. Obviously there's still a few around but you know what I mean. Even that nationwide arcade called timeout that used to be in all the malls across the US! Time out was actually how I ever first got into tournaments in arcades! Merry Christmas yep ☃️🎄🦌🎁🎅🏼

[@danrother3707]

While it was a nice showing of games and areas that I'm not likely to ever see, I wanted to say this just in case your not aware. I would assume you know about this but arcades do have mechanisms that are the dip switches. While they can control many things 1 of those factors that should be common in many games is difficulty. Since the purpose is to get that money, most machines are set at high levels but some high difficulties are definite coin guzzlers.

I wish we had more channels with “Bros hanging out and enjoying the history of something” vibe that you guys have with video games, this was a fantastic watch

[@voxelvillager5093]

Nathaniel Bandy did Gamestop Billiam did McDonald's And now Rerez is doing arcades. I really love these takes on travel videos.

[@monhi64]

Definitely very high on the list of KZbinrs that are actually underrated. Hivemind and Climate Town are the only other channels I can think of that’s as mind bogglingly low in subscriber counts compared to quality

[@gracekim25]

Agreed

[@Phantom.Gaming64]

Man, I'm jealous. Here in Finland these kinds of arcade places are a rare sight. Places where there is arcade machines seem also bit random. Some hotels or gas stations may have one or two coin operated arcade games like "Sega Rally" or "Time Crisis", but mostly your best bet to find arcade machines to play is at amusement parks like "Linnanmäki" at Helsinki, Finland or "Särkänniemi" at Tampere, Finland.

[@genericfriend2568]

I can't wait to repeatedly watch this feature-length video for the next 3-5 years like the rest of your content.

[@reaperofburgers]

I'm only 15 minutes in but I get strong classic G4TV vibes, and I mean that as a compliment, this is a fantastic video so far.

[@tagi_vt]

I was literally just thinking this totally gives Electric Playground aka Judgement Day vibes. Shane even kinda has a similar cadence to Victor sometimes (and no that doesn't mean Adam is Tommy Tallarico)

[@reaperofburgers]

@@tagi_vt I totally agree! I got this weird nostalgia feeling from the video, Shane definitely gives me Victor vibes, we'll just pretend Tommy doesn't exist 😂

Yup that is exactly what I got from this. Love the feel.

[@ryanfriscia1132]

Thank you Tim from Sklyon. I hope to one day see the fruits of your hard work with my own eyes.

[@elphive42]

Absolutely adored Skylon when I visited. Old-school arcades with all their machines intact are like a living museum, and it gets more and more awesome the longer they preserve these machines. Thanks, Tim! (It’s just a shame that the Galaxian^3 that was there is long gone. Was a 6-player arcade machine the size of a small movie theater.)

[@cyberpunkstarfish897]

Adam's facial expressions during the big rig game were hilarious.

[@Diablolord28]

Being a Senior tech at Dave and Busters, some of these old cabs you got to play make me jealous. A trip to the Canada side of the falls is now in order.

[@michaelanderson6394]

I have to admit, this was a lot of fun! This was well shot and edited, we got to see your chronicles exploring arcade games from the new to the surprisingly still functional, and I learned a few new things. Seriously, seeing you guys react in delight at the moving Space Harrier and Galaxy Force cabinets was a highlight. I hope we get to see more stuff like this at some point. Maybe we take this to another city, or maybe we take a journey to uncover obscure gaming artifacts. Either way, I really liked this, and it seems like you guys did too! Keep up the good work!

[@NathanN0rth]

Man this video is giving me the feeling of actually being with them on the trip like a friend. Thank you and amazing work as always ❤

[@JonnyEatWorld]

Oh wow, I love the arcades on Clifton hill, I go to them very often, I wonder if I’m in the background of this video 👀 looking forward to watching

[@christopherwillard8195]

I actually worked at the Rainforest Cafe in Niagara Falls USA side. We had to take care of the arcade as well as the resturant. The weekdays were slow in the arcade but during the weekend.....lets just say i need a drink after my shift!😅

[@aaronammann4236]

46:44 there's a Trilogy arcade machine at the Wunderland here in Oregon. Though it has a larger seat than the original. I actually loved playing it though so seeing that there I would have played it until I ran out of tokens.

[@rapdactyl]

I'm really sad that Tim didn't get some screen time! I'd love to see the passion he must have for those games ❤

[@rerez]

Tim asked not to be on camera but we really wanted to make sure we talked about him in the video!

Bloody brilliant channel, just goes from strength to strength. Loved hitting the arcades back in the day. So, this was proper good.

[@TyroKitsune]

Not only is this a neat idea and lovely to see you guys hang out, but it's elevated by the goofy humour you guys have crafted in your other recent shows. Would adore another one or something similar if you want to.

[@hazy33]

Wow what a fantastic tour. Thankyou so much guys. As an English person I'd have never known there were any arcades there let alone so many! They ought to be a protected species. The editing must've taken weeks.

[@jsc315]

I've always wanted to do this. Thanks for showcasing these games. This was a delightful video.

[@darkreyule]

This channel never disappoints.

[@jdiluigi]

You guys always have killer editing/production value. It carried over to outside of a studio too. P.S. The Time Crisis series are my favorite light gun games of all time. The foot pedal for cover combined with the slide cycling every shot makes them very imercive.

[@geebee13]

I loved watching this. As somebody in Canada who goes to Clifton Hill once every year or so and has never gone into any of these arcades to truly experience them (only walking by or through them), seeing what they had on display was astounding. Skylon Tower especially, holy hell.

[@SomeShmuck]

That was a really fun video to watch. The editing was top tier. love you guys

[@skidy12]

This is good tier gaming content and i cannot thank you folks enough for taking the time to film and produce this. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!

[@johnclark926]

This is a really good exploration of the greatest strengths and major drawbacks of arcade gaming. Being able to fine tune the machine’s design and controller for each game results in experiences you can’t quite replicate on general platforms like console and PC, but at the same time that same inability to replicate makes them difficult to come across and nearly impossible to repair. I also noticed at 6:32 that the cup full of tokens was placed on Harpoon Lagoon. I remember when me and my friend used to farm tickets by teaming up to hit the shark; one of us would hit one of the surrounding fish while the other aimed at the shark through the opening. It was one of my best arcade memories, but by the next year we visited it had disappeared (hopefully not because of its exploitability). The plight of the preservation of arcade games is a quiet tragedy.

[@TheOnlyTherazan]

Bust-A-Move has a screen made up of individual LED for pixels, right? I LOVE this arcade format, I've often seen it for Space Invaders and maybe Pac-Man? It's a clever revival method for games with the simplest graphics, though I haven't been able to play one myself. I'd like to wear shades if I'm to look at this screen for long because wow, it's BRIGHT!!

[@rerez]

I believe this system design has three or four different versions that exists. My team and I would love to see them all!

[@prince_nocturne]

This is all so nostalgic. I grew up in Buffalo NY, right on the other side of the river and rubbing shoulders with the Falls itself. We used to head up there every so often, not for the falls, it's mundane for locals, no. It was for the shopping, for the food, and for the experience of all the other stuff. And the Casino when that got built, but only the once. The arcade experience back in the late 90's and early 2000's was something else. Glad it's still thriving.

[@Geno746]

This is a really cool episode I really like the travel show vibe of this.

[@Tribow]

11:00 Yall know Cruisn' Blast released right? It was a recent entry in the series and it's just as fun as previous games! EDIT: Finished the video. They do. Got me scared there for a sec lol

[@Planag7]

Very awesome. Always glad to see arcades!

[@MarxMayhem]

I like these type of vids. Sure the JBG is a staple, but it's nice to watch and listen to you guys just talk about games.

[@ChaseMC215]

Oh hey, Initial D Arcade Stage 4! It was thr last translated Initial D Arcade Stage game to hit North America, but after that, we couldn't be bothered to translate and localize every other release, nowafays when you see a new Arcade Stage fame, it's usually in thr bigger metropolitan areas, and everything is still in Japanese which turns dosn alot of people.

[@FintanMoloney]

Really enjoyed this video guys. Was fascinating to see what cabinets you found in each location and has inspired me to get out and and about and see what arcades we have in Ireland that are still going !

[@W0lfenstrike]

It's so darn cool to see so many arcades thriving, old and new!

[@cthandrils]

Every so often whenever I go to an arcade I gotta try Space Invaders Frenzy at least once. Not only is it a pretty common machine where I am but nothing beats the feeling of blasting hoards of space invaders to get that final score and a mountain of tickets. Great video, very interesting to watch!

[@madhattermadden]

[@Petronious]

I visited here when I travelled over to Canada for ConBravo a few years back! I didn't really play any arcade games while at the Falls, but it was nice to see the sights. I still think fondly of my visit and the Con, and it was nice to meet you guys! Hope you're both doing well!

Nice to see you guys covering some arcade machines. I've had the pleasure of trying a Galaxy Force 2 cabinet IRL as a small kid but seeing one working again even just on video is a treat to see and I'm glad you guys found one. Hope to see more videos like this I think it's a good change of pace and could be expanded on.

[@mrtwinky2007]

48:26 Yeah ManxTT was such a game, Got to play it a couple of times here in the UK where it's based on the Isle Of Man, Also got it for the SEGA Saturn after playing it at the airport with my Dad we had such a time on the Aracade machine, There is actually 2 versions of the Aracade machine that we found, There is a smaller version of the machine for smaller kids like I was at the time

[@michaelk8860]

This episode makes me homesick. I grew up in Buffalo and spent A LOT of my time in the Clifton Hill area growing up. We'd go see the Falls, or go to Marineland, and always make a stop. I miss full capsule games, such as Afterburner and Outrun, that used to shake and move, or the sit down versions of games like Spy Hunter. Light gun games were always more fun with a partner. I was a huge fan of the Time Crisis series.

[@crazyluigi6664]

I can relate with the vacations at hand with extended family living up there in the Buffalo region myself. The Clifton Hill area is quite the hike up there if you aren't prepared for it. Guess that's why one should be thankful areas like the Great Canadian Midway exist, huh?

[@gumbyx84]

I love how much fun you guys have with your videos. I'd love to see a video where you guys visit Funstop

[@chaoszonenate]

[@jjoshalber117]

Being an arcade lover since I was a kid and even now as an adult I adore this.. I adore this so much. Everytime I go to a mall I'd go and play at an arcade and I would play the arcade shooters. House of the dead, time crisis and the arcade games that RAW THRILLS make like Aliens Armageddon, Halo, Jurassic park. Like I had a smile on my face watching this.

Man, this brings back high school memories lol Used to hit the local Mall every weekend with buddies and just hangout at the Arcades. I made some good friends at that Arcade.

[@crazyluigi6664]

Man, even though I've absolutely enjoyed the other videos by you guys, this one's such a genuine surprise for someone that's vacationed to the Niagara Falls area multiple times (because I have extended family that lives around the Buffalo area) that not only have I already watched it multiple times, but I've shared it with multiple family members (including my grandparents) to help give them a new experience themselves. :,)

[@doomerang1438]

[@BumblyBear]

I really like that busta move arcade game!!! This is a great documentary so far 👏

[@toasterslinger]

If you guys can make the trip, I would highly recommend going to the Funspot in Laconia, NH. Massive arcade with three whole floors full of games, and an entire floor dedicated to classic arcade games and pinball machines. You guys would be absolutely amazed to see what kind of cabinets they have there.

[@nthgth]

Thanks for commenting this, I don't think I'm alone as a Rerez fan in dying to go there myself now that I know it exists! I'm in CNY so it's not super far away either. Weekend trip. I'm sure there's other stuff to do around there too.
