A walkthrough of my current Basement Arcade.
It's long, I sound southern and it might be boring. Such is life :)

[@PoleSlappa]

My jaw is still on the floor....there are not words to describe this place..just perfection.

[@Shawn_Faris]

I love the concept of the hot tub. These are the kind of rooms that I dream of, and one day, I will make these dreams a reality, I swear on my life I will. Would so love to one day make an entire room that is a fish tank; from the floors to the walls, and even the ceiling. Would be breathtaking to chill on a sofa, reading a book or something, and feel like you were in the middle of the sea surrounded by sea life. Seeing something like this is very motivational. Thank you for sharing, and keep up the awesome work!

[@Shawn_Faris]

Also, I love the Knux plush!

[@danc1197]

The only thing missing is the snack bar with those jumbo grilled hot dogs and popcorn.

[@catsarecute974]

True and pizza like Chuck E. Cheese

[@302RELL]

Awesome collection!! The hot tub in the middle must be fun to sit back in and just admire all the games!

[@JasonALMS2010]

Man, this is actual life goals. I'm about to graduate high school and I am lucky enough to have been with the girl of my dreams for some time now. She's kind of into video games but doesn't play much anymore. I want to go to college and get a good job so I can buy stuff like this and supply for her and my future family. Idk sorry for getting all sappy but this video really inspired me in a weird way lol. GREAT JOB ON THIS ROOM!

[@chazzlucas6395]

Jonathan Wild ...Hailrazer Feeling all right in the noise and the light. But that's what lights my fire !!! HAILRAZER.... I love your arcade dude !!

[@ArcadeSTG]

Is is great to see such nice personal arcades, congratulations!

[@DowningsBasement]

Damn man, you've added quite a few since the last time I was there! I love that game room!

[@NoThanksnothanks]

I love ur game room and I am excited to see the future of ur game room. blessing and have fun.

[@jayn8392]

very cool. That pool table is gorgeous

[@freakyfornash]

Damn, that's impressive! Amazing with how you're able to handle having all these games, and keep them up, and running (for the most part) as well!

[@tomypower4898]

freakyfornash Yes side effects arcade games

[@highflyer011]

Dude, awesome gameroom! I don't know what makes me more envious, the amazing collection of games, or the fact that your basement is 2,000+ sq! LOL!

[@SpaciesArcade]

Wow, this is a totally amazing arcade. Very impressed with the line-up. Great variation of games and entertainment. You have something for everyone that's for sure. Nice work, thanks for sharing. Subscribed.

[@ChicagoRetroGamer]

Totally wish I had your basement! Cheers, and I just subbed. Keep up the great arcade gaming!

[@depletable]

Very awesome. Congrats on this.

[@joshsteinhauser5404]

Love how there's a hot tub!!! Hilarious!! Cool, but pretty funny. I'd never leave that room. Good work man.

[@MCJoans]

awesome set-up!!!

[@jslime]

Hey man, super nice set up you have there. Love the toppers, those look really nice in the dark.

[@MitchVFilms]

TIME TO HEAD OVER TO UNCLE HAILRAZERS's House!!!

[@SuperKissFan1]

Awesome arcade room👍

[@n64ever]

He's back! Hooray!

[@ArcadeDude44]

What an awesome game room! Thanks for sharing, my favorite has to be Lunar Rescue. I would LOVE to find one of those (as well as a Space ZZZap...), some day!

[@tomypower4898]

ArcadeDude44 Yeeees!,! h:

[@Riz2336]

You've got a great collection.

[@Bearcade]

Nice game room. I’ve been working on mine too. My basement is small, mostly Cabarets.

[@donman1727]

That's a huge basement...And that arcade is crazy

[@FlintG]

Wow you are alive! But man that arcade is really awesome! I would be in there all day lol. You should try and get the in the groove 2 machine that one is pretty cool since you could easily load it with tons of songs and maybe put in a custom interface.

[@airn09]

Great stuff!!

[@AndrewsArcade]

Nice arcade. I didn't see a hot tub coming. That made me laugh. The simpsons looks good with the light up joy sticks and yellow t molding.

[@trulygg]

That's rad man, I'd love to have a few beers there.

[@junkhausen]

Radiant Silvergun..

[@Bearcade]

Nice Pump It Up. I am currently trying to get my Space Invaders running.

[@rikucrassus6738]

always wanted to see ur face and has always been a fan love that basement tho!

[@silentbob151a]

Hey man glad to see im not the only GA arcade nut. Great video too if I bring a case of beer can I come over and play them? I only have 4 arcade games and 1 pinball machine so far I just started a couple years ago but I'll catch up with ya eventually!

[@ORDER4STU]

Holy jesus, this is legendary

[@tomypower4898]

Travis Garman I'm yes gay

[@laurencedent251]

This is real nice....you set the bar high

[@kintozero3169]

My favorite is the multicart system with Radiant Silvergun! And the digital piano. Guessing big draw for the ladies would be the hot tub & Pump It Up machine

[@Mrkrazyjuggalo408]

awesome room

[@stevenwheat3621]

Very nice set-up!! What's nice is that you have room for more! Replace that smoke alarm battery, if that's what the "beep" is!

[@jonjandran]

LOL it wasn't the smoke alarm, it was one of the games.

[@MrJimbofox]

Way cool, dude. Awesome home arcade!!! I've never seen an arcade with a hot tub. They say you are what you eat but I'm not sure how you managed to eat a fucking LEGEND!!!!

[@tomypower4898]

Retro Game Lounge Yes crazy cuffing

[@tomypower4898]

Retro Game Lounge Yes crazy

[@voltz15]

Really nice place. I wish I could afford that KI cab myself.

[@jamesavery3559]

very nice an arcaders dream!

[@Ghost12738]

I would love a tutorial on how to get ur arcades hook up to ur on/off remotes and how to set up our cinema center.

[@mariodykstra6555]

I like the Pacman, Space Invaders, Asteroids (not restored in this video, but did you restore it yet?), Frogger, and Galaga ones.

[@bananadoctor]

Oh boy! This is just plain awesome! How much did you spend on that?!

[@djklink20009]

thats no basement :D thats a portal back in time ;D awesome stuff

[@FLyyyT_]

pulled out of an old lady's house. I found that humorous for some reason.

[@jonjandran]

Yea that was a little politically incorrect. Sorry. :)

[@mandomercs7]

You guys are so lucky living in the us and having easy access to these games. You get a whole cabinet for $100. I’m in Australia. Cabinets on average are over 2 grand. A killer instinct cab like that is 5 thousand

[@Shawn_Faris]

Woah wait, are those ceiling panels custom? Those look cool.

[@joejokool]

Holyyyy sheep shit, that is one sweet set-up, nice job!

[@tomypower4898]

JoeJoKool Yes pinball

[@Xeon897]

Wow, this is sweet! How long have you been working on your man-cave/basement arcade as a project?

[@kanatapaw]

holy crap, is this your house? i know where the family partys are being held then lol

[@kintozero3169]

What did you wind up doing with the Street Fighter II project?

[@classicgamr]

way cool sir...im a little jealous hehe

[@sewashburn0529]

Very nice! The ceiling looks great, it's a nice touch. Do you have much trouble with water getting on the floor with the hot tub in there? What time does the arcade open this weekend?

[@jonjandran]

The hot tub has indoor/outdoor carpet under it. it dries out fast. If you live near me you're welcome to come by on the weekends.

[@bjamiork]

PIU Fiesta?! Very nice :)

[@gustavogustavo7262]

wow man this is very nece work

[@Toad-eaterofbug]

Jesus this is what I dream home theater hot tub and arcade

[@tomypower4898]

Captain crooked clown Yes man cave is complete

[@sewashburn0529]

How long ago did you buy the signs at Hobby Lobby? I went by my local store last night and couldn't find them. I did buy an "Arcade" sign at HL a year or two ago.

[@jonjandran]

I bought them a while back. If they have them they'll be in the clearance bin.

[@arcade-o8816]

What's the dimension of your basement?

[@MrGoatseee]

where did you get the led toppers from ?

[@Chadsexington985]

You should do an updated tour, show off what you've added.

[@mspeals]

No man cave is complete without stand up arcades, pool table and pinball. If you had a bar in there no one would leave for days!!!!!

[@jonjandran]

I'm putting one in now. :)

[@OliverJonCross]

fantastic. Where do you get the light toppers from?

[@jonjandran]

A company that is no longer selling them unfortunately.

[@william0074]

Hi Jonathon. Do you still have most pieces to 'yie ar kung fu'? I would like to talk about purchasing from you if possible. Thank you

[@SuperDanny1212]

Please tell me where you find these cheap cabinets.

[@ChezArcade]

Awesome!!! I can hear that Sport Shooter right when the video begins lmao. Love hate that game.

[@terrybogard7505]

What an awesome arcade! I've got the same passion but my apartment in Japan is too small. If you want to know more about Japanese arcade games please see my videos! Take care!

[@Kenshiro19XX]

Cool channel man! Keep it up!

[@kyleyoung9990]

Loved the video! I was wondering though, does your electricity bill shoot up with all of those arcade machines? Awesome hangout zone!

[@jonjandran]

Thanks! And no not really. each machine only pulls about 1A. And they're only on while I'm playing nor have company. So I haven't really seen any change in electrical bills.

[@SuzukiHalwende]

How'd you get these so cheap? I'd like to have at least one cabinet myself.

[@jonjandran]

I search Craigslist and Facebook. You have to be quick as they go fast.

[@SuzukiHalwende]

Jonathan Wild Thanks, and nice work with that game room!

[@Spawn-wt6ul]

If I may ask, where did you buy those arcade machine toppers?

[@jonjandran]

A company that is no longer in business

[@incredible2745]

Cool arcade games for pacman and more.

[@onedude2852]

Where do you get your games from

[@ChezArcade]

K2 yes!!! Where is the K1!? Shoot and you have Sport Shooter with the correct guns. Great collection! - From Klov

[@brookwest]

Do you know a good company that repairs arcade game machines in Atlanta?

[@cart4765]

0:28 I SEE YOU THERE, KNUCKLES.

[@cart4765]

2:51 I ALSO SEE YOU, SONIC.

[@playitwithvenga8169]

EPIC EPIC EPIC !!

[@ENTERTAINMENT35]

Did You buy that Simpsons arcade from another KZbin user who had it? It looks very similar to one he restored

[@jonjandran]

Mike C , No I restore all my games myself.

[@kflip0634]

I've been in that arcade lol

[@russianrings]

damn John, can we be friends? I'll bring drinks lol..like the space invaders on the wall

[@FragBenitez]

Holy shit, only in America!

[@Chadsexington985]

Love this video, you should shoot an update.

[@kflip0634]

Its not up like that any more

[@FortOfBlankets]

Damn, you're really living it up, huh?

[@jonjandran]

+FortOfBlankets I buy them all cheap. And once you learn to repair them you can then fix the ones you don't use and sell the parts to fund more. It's not really that expensive when you do it that way.

[@FortOfBlankets]

Jonathan Wild Expensive, maybe not, but most people I know couldn't even fit all that stuff comfortably. Hell, my basement is all cobble and cement. XD

[@jonjandran]

+FortOfBlankets +FortOfBlankets My house is HUGE and really nice. But I live in a small town. It was a repossession. It had been renovated and was being turned into a bed and breakfast. The arcade room was the rec room for receptios. The stock market crashed and the guy lost the house. The house had been stripped of all toilets/door handles/lights/fans/apliances, etc. I watched it and made offers on it for over 2 years. When I finally got it I paid right at $24 a square foot for it with 14 acres of free mountainside land. Then I worked my butt of fixing it up. I have nice things but I don't spend tons of money for them. :)

[@FortOfBlankets]

Jonathan Wild Well, I guess you pay for it one way or another, huh? Really, though, I'm so impressed, especially now that I hear you pretty much furnished the whole thing!

[@Seannyg88sComputerRepair]

The piu cab is known as a gx cab it used to be called ex until konami sued andamiro because the marquee was to close to a ddr cabs so they change the name created a new marquee

[@pm41224]

Wasn't the DDR style marque reserved for the SD cabinet?

[@Jeremiah3201]

yo how much did this cost

[@Liofa73]

Is that technically a basement? That high up off the ground? ;P

[@tomypower4898]

Liofa Yes man cave

[@jimmyqballs]

Shadow Dancer!

[@jonathanmcdougall3089]

Cool

[@bakedgoods5781]

Heaven is real. Also its a shame about the crossplane. I would've loved one of those

[@adidas1984x]

Stv multicard ? Never heard of it . But the ki2 is sweet and the blitz is awesome . Put a lcd into the gauntlet cab

[@jonjandran]

It's made by a guy named Darksoft. And yea I might put in an lcd if all else fails :)

[@adidas1984x]

+Jonathan Wild does batman forever and die hard arcade play perfect? Also the lcd would work easy with that Vegas board set

[@garrettspencer3887]

dude u must have a good job making good money

[@SuperDanny1212]

Can I *_PLEASE_* come hang out at your place?

[@jamesdavis5517]

No crazy climber, tish.

[@cozmicmojo2181]

Do you have Killer Instinct 2?

[@justsayin4632]

Cozmic Mojo -Did you even watch?😂

[@cozmicmojo2181]

@@justsayin4632 My screen is very dark. It needs a new bulb.

[@big4skol83]

Hey, what else do you watch in your basement arcade other than SpongeBob?

[@jonjandran]

That was just what happened to be on. I watch a lot of College Football and Blu-Ray movies.

[@big4skol83]

Cool! I have a man cave where I mostly watch NFL and play my Xbox 360! I've also got posters, a Harley Davidson dartboard, and a foosball table! Thanks for both the answer and the video man, and your basement arcade looks awesome!

[@catsarecute974]

You should get root beer tapper and wreck it ralph

[@chrisdorr5786]

What?!?! No original Gauntlet?? After those killer restore threads you did?? (geech on klov here)

[@jonjandran]

It wasn't in there yet. It is now.

[@Toad-eaterofbug]

you must add a booth like Jurassic park

[@alien123pred]

how much does all that cost to keep running? is your electric bill through the roof? also fucking sweet basement

[@steve24822]

it'll only be on when he's down there so probably doesn't cost very much at all.

[@n64ever]

Oh and also what happened to CrossPlane?

[@jonjandran]

Decided not to push Microsoft and Sony. LOL

[@n64ever]

+Jonathan Wild Lol ha ha. Anyway nice video, I honestly hope to see more portable tackled soon! They are AWESOME. I really love the N64 GameCube and Darth64.

[@mikekaldiis1943]

can you sell me that killer instinct topper where did you get it from pm me please

[@jonjandran]

They are not made anymore. The company closed it's doors. Sorry.
