Home Arcade Tour 👾 40+ Classic Games! 😱 Vintage Coin-Op Machines '77-'94 🪙 Episode

[@Jasons_Arcade_PLUS]

Phenomenal collection of games! Cabs and pins around every turn..that's how every house should be 🤣

[@overtimearcade]

Thanks - and I wholeheartedly agree!! 😎

8:40 Beautiful Arcade room! 🫶 I really LOVE the Donkey Kong, where you’re looking into this black “void”, and further inside is the screen. It’s like you’re looking into the world of Donkey Kong, from the outside perspective. The machine is the holster, and when you step up and look inside, there’s Donkey Kong’s world, with pure blackness everywhere else around it. It just feels a tiny bit more immersive that way (at least for me) I love the Arcade-machines that’s like that 🤗

[@overtimearcade]

Thanks! Donkey Kong is one of my personal favorites!

[@RetroDayOfficial]

Great video and collection! I like the history of each cabinet you give and pride in restoring each one! Lots of black paint over artwork how do you recommend removing it carefully?

[@overtimearcade]

Thanks! The best technique for removing black paint really depends on what you're working with. I have lots of videos showing different methods. For removing latex paint on stenciled artwork on a plywood cabinet, you can use the IPA + paper towels + saran wrap method (e.g., Joust). For removing latex paint on stenciled artwork on a particleboard/MDF cabinet, you MUST use IPA + magic erasers (buy in bulk!) + lots of elbow grease (e.g., Jungle King). For removing latex paint from laminate, you can use citristrip and a plastic scraper (e.g., Pengo). YMMV and there's no guarantee of success. Good luck!

[@RetroDayOfficial]

@@overtimearcade Sure thing! Wow didn't know there was so much variation and good to know thanks!

[@overtimearcade]

Let me know how it works out for you!!

[@RetroDayOfficial]

@@overtimearcade I don't currently have a cabinet that needs work but good to know if I ever do thanks! Keep up the great work!

[@Arcadehollywood]

Awesome collection Charlie!! You got the "fever"!!!

[@overtimearcade]

Yeah, buddy - thanks! And the only prescription is: MORE GAMES!

[@LawmanArcade76]

"Zaxxon, that wasn´t bad enough..." 🤣 Really nice and impressive collection, Charlie!

[@overtimearcade]

Thank you, sir!

[@spaztekwarrior]

Wonderful set of games. Wish I had a bunch as well, but I wouldn’t know where to begin with regard to refurbishing and replacing and fixing the machines. Armour Attack! I remember playing that back in ‘81!! I thought it was so hard but loved the vector graphics. :)

[@overtimearcade]

A great way to start getting into restoring/repairing games yourself is to watch all my videos - as well as other great channels just like mine! Armor Attack is great - I kinda regret trading it away!

[@Brianvazquez]

I love this video. Thank you for sharing your collection. I wish I can have something like this in the future. Was born in 86 so I did get to play some 90s arcade games as a kid. I would love to get the Galaga arcade cabinet. Thanks again for sharing. Cheers!

[@overtimearcade]

Thanks for watching - I’m glad you enjoyed it! Galaga would be a great way to start a collection!

[@paulhagger5261]

Greetings from the UK! Really enjoyed your video, what a fantastic home arcade you have 😃 I do have a nostalgic soft spot for Sly Spy and Superman. Played both back in the day 😊 WWF Wrestlefest is probably my favourite ever arcade game. Loved it back in the day and was a big WWF fan from mid eighties to about '93

[@overtimearcade]

Thanks! Come take a trip across the pond and buy my Sly Spy & Superman, because they're both for sale!

[@paulhagger5261]

Haha! If only I could... 😂

[@carlosfields9937]

Very nice collection Charlie.

[@overtimearcade]

Thanks, Carlos!!

[@midnightkitty8172]

Thanks so much for sharing this with us, I really love the old games. 'Like'd and 'Subscribe'd.

[@overtimearcade]

Thanks -- I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@SharkyLovedOne]

I think you need to add MK1, MK2, Tapper and Gun.Smoke cabs. You never see Gun.Smoke cab anywhere. Twilight Zone and Godzilla pinball machines. Awesome collection and appreciate the video. So cool how you give the history of the game and your history with the cabs. Keep gaming. GG’s!

[@overtimearcade]

Thanks!! I would love to get an MK1 or MK2 at some point! Tapper is fun but prices for it are through the roof. I do like playing Gun Smoke quite a bit, but it was only released as a conversion kit and not as a dedicated cabinet. I sure would like to find a board for it though to stick in a generic cab. Appreciate you watching and for the kind words!!

[@SharkyLovedOne]

@@overtimearcade I really enjoy watching the videos. Keep it up. Thanks for the content.

[@overtimearcade]

Thanks, Sharky -- reading that made me smile!

[@blind_neighbourhoodNerd]

Duuuuuude, this is amazing!!

[@overtimearcade]

Thank you!!

[@TheRealJPhillips]

Armour Attack is one of my favorite Vectrex games

[@overtimearcade]

Very cool - I’ve never played the Vectrex version myself!

[@AnthonyPresley-l8f]

I recently picked up a home use only space duel cocktail with around 400 plays and I got it working. It’s a beauty but I’m debating on keeping it😅

[@overtimearcade]

SWEET! The cocktail format is the best way to play Space Duel! Why wouldn't you keep it??

[@AnthonyPresley-l8f]

@@overtimearcade I don’t have a whole lot of space and I’m not a real big cocktail person. It is really cool so I might keep it, really debating it

[@overtimearcade]

Maybe keep it until somebody makes you an offer you can’t refuse for it?

[@willtwijnstra1688]

Hello Charlie, it’s Will from Oklahoma. I sent comment message a little while back. Just seeing if you might know how or where I can get a 25 inch CRT monitor for my Ms Pac-Man and Galaga class of 20 reunion. I think that’s the size? Thanks for your help! I currently have this gaming lcd monitor in it. Not the same as a CRT

[@overtimearcade]

Hi, Will! I think some of those cabinets use 25" monitors but others used 19" monitors, so I'd recommend confirming exactly what you need before buying one. Your best places to find CRT arcade monitors would be arcade groups on Facebook, Facebook Marketplace, and the KLOV forums.

[@willtwijnstra1688]

@@overtimearcade Yes sir, I think you’re right, I think that guy that sold it to me says it was a Wells Gardner 25 inch CRT monitor., too bad your not closer, for you to put it in cabinet, and pay you. I always admire all your arcades on your KZbin channel videos, you’ve fixed up! Especially “Joust” I had a arcade repair guy close by and never get any reply Thank you for the info. Do you know of any repair people in Oklahoma?

[@overtimearcade]

Thanks and good luck! I think JoyStickRick hails from Oklahoma, but I'd recommend joining the KLOV forums and some Facebook groups to make connections with local collectors & repair techs in OK!

[@willtwijnstra1688]

@@overtimearcade ok great, I’ll try that, thank you again Charlie. Good to know about those,

[@overtimearcade]

@willtwijnstra1688 Networking with fellow collectors/techs will pay dividends in many ways!

[@overtimearcade]

What about an Australian leprechaun???

[@jaysonsimmerman]

After school we played the play choice 10 on the way home. You could get free games off it. By pushing up on both sticks if I remember correctly.

[@overtimearcade]

Oh interesting, I've never heard of that free game trick -- can you point me to a link or anything about it?

[@christopherdecorte1599]

Your collection is amazing. Killer instinct would be a great in your collection to round out your selection, i didnt see any fighting games and its not a common cabinet and fun to play would be a perfect fit. There are so many great arcade games that would be awesome to have but i personally wouldnt be able store more then 2 cabinets in my home if i had to choose 1 game, even though i never played dance dance revolution thats the one game i would play to my hearts content at home so i can suck at it but not be embarrassed lol. And the second cabinet would be eighther street fighter 2 or a multicade with a few games i enjoyed playing alot like altered beast ninja turtles simpsons.

[@overtimearcade]

Thanks, Christopher! The only fighting game I have right now is Primal Rage, but it’s actually going to be leaving soon. Killer Instinct sure would be cool, although Mortal Kombat II is probably my favorite in the genre.

[@christopherdecorte1599]

@overtimearcade MK2 is a great game and better yet it's a game that will be played killer instinct is just a cool cabinet and sounds amazing I only seen 2 of them one time in Hawaii in a bowling ally and tech school in airforce breakroom.

[@overtimearcade]

Hey, I was in the U.S. Air Force too! Thank you for your service!

[@Commander-Beef]

I think you should take and empty cab and build yourself a nice MISTERCADE cab

[@overtimearcade]

Any good resources you can point me towards to learn more about that??

[@chelnov1988]

I have a green Taito Cab disabled the side are cut. I live close to Athens, GA. let me know how can I contact you if you are interested... would love to have a Joust project :)

Im trying to find reproduction cabinets but everything I find is either out of business or astronomical prices! Tough hobby to get into these days

[@overtimearcade]

Yep, repro cabs are costly due to the price of wood and the fact that only a small number of vendors build quality cabs. But why go with a repro cabinet instead of an original? For many (most?) classic games, an original cab is cheaper than a repro, especially if you're willing to restore a fixer-upper!

[@patientmental875]

@@overtimearcade Because im looking for a specific cab & its Dragons Lair

[@overtimearcade]

I wonder how the end of Dexter production has affected the market for Dragon’s Lair cabinets?
