Home Arcade Tour Sept. 2023

[@spoopyspider8591]

All that looks so funnnn. It's awesome to see so much passion put into the restro games. They deserve more love than they get.

[@GenomePresents]

It is great fun indeed! There is something so satisfying having my office down there whilst being surrounded by these gems (even if they are recreations) from the past! I love doing physical mods to things, and these cabs are no different!

[@comichead8431]

Yess, I've been eagerly awaiting this video. Room looks awesome, great lighting. Man, I didn't realize how affordable some of these cabinets are. Once I figure out space for it, I reckon I will be reaching out for some tips on setting up my own.

[@GenomePresents]

My friend, I know your room will turn out AWESOME! Like, 80's AWESOME! Marketplace/Craigslist really is the place to be! Sometimes, even big retailers have deals too. Right now, Ollie's has the NFL Blitz cab on sale for $300.Good price for those looking for sports titles.

[@KoZsWastingMoney]

Wow! Looks great!

[@GenomePresents]

Thanks much!

[@chrissczuroski66]

DUDE Marvel Vs Capcom 2 WOULD BE SO AWESOME IN THIS. Definitely make a update after you added lots more new machines ! ❤

[@GenomePresents]

I have been on the lookout for that one as well as Marvel Super Heroes! I actually ordered another cab this week, and have lots of mods in the works, so stay tuned for more vids in the near future!

[@bullsajawn]

Awesome setup

[@GenomePresents]

Thanks so much!

[@ThomasGrillo]

Awesome start to the arcade! Thanks for the tour. :)

[@GenomePresents]

Thanks so much! I appreciate the kind comment, and your stopping by! Theramin forever! It's funny; I was actually just discussing that instrument with someone that I go to church with.

[@ThomasGrillo]

@@GenomePresents How very small, indeed, this world is. Very cool that you and your friend were talking about the theremin. :)

[@TheJacksonRoykirk]

I've got a roll of quarters! I'm on the way over!

[@GenomePresents]

My friend, you, and your quarters, are ALWAYS welcome!!!

[@TheRealJPhillips]

Nice 👍🏾

[@GenomePresents]

Thankya!

[@gothamcityarcade]

Great video... Your Ms Pacman (black edition is a wave 5)... love what you did with sound with all your cab especially woth K.I. and TMNT cabs! Star wars is a gen 2 cab sir lol.. FYI, use ammonia and water or vinegar and water to clean smell out of the seat!

[@GenomePresents]

Thanks for the info! I should probably research some of these cabinets a bit more, heh. I have done a few more upgrades since this vid; I added lighted buttons to T2 and Ms. Pac-man, speakers to T2 and MK, and I have ordered 4 replacement marquee vinyls and a lighted riser screen! Got my eye on a few more cabs as well, but it has been a while since anything used was posted in my general area. I have been scoping out Ollies, but all they have is Blitz (not really interested in that cab), but they are supposedly starting to stock the Pong party table, which I do want. I was browsing through your channel and I noticed that you talk with fellow military members about gaming. I wind up talking about my time in quite a bit during my livestreams (another vet in my chat likes to talk about being in the service and gaming). It is nice getting back into cabinets again as opposed to consoles as hearing the cacophony of sounds coming from my "arcade" just brings me back to the 80's!

[@lewdards1127]

Damn man what do you do for work? your killing it my guy

[@GenomePresents]

Hey, I work hard, and I play hard ;-P.

[@1earguitar]

Looks like a place where time could get away from you!😅

[@GenomePresents]

Time...and money!

[@PanelsPagesPixels]

awesome thanks for sharing dude! love it, didnt know you were into home arcades etc.! I've got the Star Wars re-release A1UP (love it) and an ALU (At Games Legends Ultimate) - I end up playing virtual pinball about half the time on it though even though its mainly for being a multicade so the ALP Pinball virtual is tempting to get too...the new 4K one seems dope but prob way too pricy when it drops I'm guessing

[@PanelsPagesPixels]

and yea Coin Ops X combo with the ALU rules

[@GenomePresents]

Yep, lovin' me some arcade collecting! It sounds like you have some great cabs too. I play more virtual pinball than anything; the Legends Pinball has been great! Yeah, I would expect a fairly steep price tag on the 4k, but who knows; they may wind up surprising us!

[@GenomePresents]

@@PanelsPagesPixels it's absolutely NUTS! $80 for pretty much every game one could ever hope to play from the golden era of gaming. Lately, I have been playing one of my old arcade standbys, Gladiator, which is so rare. Almost 8,000 games with Coin Ops X and extreme modularity make it basically the only cab anyone would ever need if they were just concerned with gaming. I will be doing a video on it soon.

[@PanelsPagesPixels]

@@GenomePresents just curious about the $80 mention because coin ops is a free home arcade community made build - did you pay someone for it on a USB or something? Just curious - no need to answer here if you’re not comfortable answering. It is a fantastic one size fits all soliton for classic arcade gaming on the ALU no doubt

[@GenomePresents]

@@PanelsPagesPixels nabbed one fully loaded off of Amazon.

[@drewstar412]

Hey Dave, I forgot to ask you last time, when you said you like "Legendary Wings", did you also like to play "Time Soldiers"(1987)? While is not like Legendary Wings", it has a part where you go fight mythical creature from the Egyptian, Greek, & Roman myths. It has the same set up as Ikari Warriors. Also, did you like to play "Time Pilot" (1982) and it's follow up, "Time Pilot'84"? I was able to beat "Time Pilot" (1982). I don't think Time Pilot '84 had an ending. it would just flip, at some point. I'm surprised to read a lot of peoples comments, that they never seen the Star Wars arcade sit down version. I saw it a few times. That's a fun game. I agree with you on "Return of the Jedi" arcade game. Found it rather boring. Thought it tried to be like "Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom" arcade game. Idk which came first. Also, never was a fan of of ROTJ anyway. After the battle with Jabba, I turn the movie off. I don't like for my Sci Fi/Action flicks & TV shows, to get sissified. That's just the worst! The ewoks were the worst. Hitting the LIKE to show support. Gold Five : Gold Five to Red leader, lost Tiree, lost Dutch. Red Leader : I copy, Gold Leader. Gold Five : They came from... behind!

[@GenomePresents]

The Ewoks; when the mask of pretense comes off and Ole George shows the world that he REALLY wants to sell some toys!

[@seekerofarcades4634]

😗👍👍

[@nickcarroll5034]

why not just fix the street fighter 2 lip problem? Costs all of 5 dollars on some washers and screws. There's a video on here showing how to do it.

[@GenomePresents]

Sorry about the late reply; for some reason this comment wasn't showing. I may get around to doing just that, but I play the SF cab so rarely that I'm not sure I will even bother and just leave it stock. However, it may be worth doing to the MK2 cab, which I do play, so thanks for the suggestion!

[@cpet2000]

R u having any issues with your blue led buttons dimming and eventually dying?

[@GenomePresents]

I haven't noticed them doing that as of yet. Should probably be noted that I don't turn the cabs on everyday, and I don't leave them on too long so I might get more mileage out of them.
