I Got Fired From Chuck E. Cheese... EPIC HOME ARCADE COLLECTION

Over 50 classic arcade games and pinball in my home arcade. I'm here to tell you about them all and why I started my collection. If you grew up playing arcade games, you gotta check this out.

[@65637guy]

Very classy well laid out. Not a bit tacky. A place I would hang out all day playing poker and videogames. Well done sir.

[@Thatshorrorible]

Very awesome room. I love the layout of it with the bar, pool table, air hockey table, ping pong, poker table. You have them all as well as the classic arcade games and even slots. Although, I don't think I saw a dartboard. Even if you don't play, you have to throw one in there. You definitely collected at a good time since those arcade games, pinball machines and even the slot machines shot up in price and value over time. Thanks for the tour!

[@traviswright456]

Ive always wanted to play the PAPERBOY cabinet, but I've never seen one in person. I grew up playing Paperboy on the NES, but i heard its best played on the original arcade cabinet. Your collection is nothing short of AMAZING. Thank you for showing us these gems.👍🤙🕹

[@alexxbaudwhyn7572]

+1 Yes, Paperboy was a breakthrough when released, with its large high res monitor for the time, and cartoon like graphics. The custom bike handlebar controller is mandatory for authentic gameplay. First played it at my local Chuck E Cheese when released. That CeC is still there, walking distance from home

[@CodeBleu724]

I remember my local mall arcade having only pinball games up until '78 or '79 when the video game explosion happened. In 1980, our first Pac-Man didn't hit the arcade initially. It was outside the G.C. Murphy store in the same mall. The arcade eventually got one when they saw how much of a money maker it was. I LOVE your set-up Alan. This is amazing!

[@airgroverjuniorcoaster9357]

Yes you do! I don’t appreciate him getting fired from Chuck E. Cheese’s

[@RyanCoomer]

best part of arcade games is slamming them buttons. 100%

[@gumby510]

Great collection, you need a mic can’t really hear ya at times.

[@TampaTec]

I love your game room 👍 I have the getaway pinball machine and Bride of Pinbot, I added shaker motor and pinsound board to add custom music. I'm saving for super chexx pro with jumbotron display.

[@quantumfx2677]

Love the Shirt, 1776! And never forget it!

[@lightpsychlone]

Awesome set up man, one of the best rooms i've seen, and I rarely leave comments... great work! Enjoy it!

[@alanbenlolo5738]

Thanks for the compliment and leaving the comment! Only thing missing is lots of people to fill it up and play, that's what I built if for.

[@harhem]

@@alanbenlolo5738 _ if i win lottomax I will buy the place at 18 SXXXXXXXX just a quick walk from you

[@anthonyscaturchio9642]

One of the nicest home arcades I've seen, and the game lineup is absolutely incredible.

[@MrX-jl5rm]

This is one of my small dreams. To own an arcade with classic games AND modern games worth playing.

[@Ultradude604]

Literally living the dream

[@dale6112]

Awesome setup. The only thing I would change is get rid of the slots and replace them with a few sit in racing games. Daytona USA, cruising USA and Mario kart

[@imnitguy]

I've owned several Daytona USA twins over the years. They are super difficult to keep running in 2023 at this point.

[@oldirtydawson]

That's a really nice game room! I love that you have slot machines as well, and you have coin ones! That's cool. A great mix of things to do. Good lighting, good mix of pinball games old and new.....very, very cool! Thanks for sharing! Cheers.

[@OhioRedCannon]

Dude so cool! I love that everything is on coin play with a pirate treasure chest filled with quarters. Ambiance in the room is cool. Just dark enough that the lights pop but light enough that you can see these games are in awesome condition. Great job. Great hobby! Just saw paperboy ! I love that game. So frustrating yet I would keep playing.

[@JB-gi5ph]

Love the room layout, nailed it.

[@ChezArcade]

Looks amazing!! Great collection and epic set up!

[@imnitguy]

Really nice collection, sir.

[@kgoger]

Marble Madness and Spy Hunter and Rampage favorite games

[@stephenbeagle2239]

fantastic home arcade. congrats.

[@JediFight]

Awesome. I have only one cabinet.

[@redbullenergyworld]

amazing that's a dream spot ^_^ good job

[@bigbusa1]

awesome video and awesome arcade! You have put together a great collection. It's all about reliving our youth! I'm 53. I get it.

[@pauldaniel6208]

As someone that remembers the Chick E. Cheese in the Toronto area quite well, it was great to find this video and get some added insights.

[@Hamilton-bm4qj]

Where’s the fighting games, bud? You need a section for the capcom and snk cabs. Amazing selection. Your kids will never understand the pain of spending your last quarter from a fiver.

[@ALookatInsideFood]

[@m.coyote5071]

Really excellent collection and arcade room set up. I like the additional slot machines thats a nice touch.

[@THEJIG-IS-UP]

Just subscribed. Greetings from Arkansas.

[@quantumfx2677]

I was terrified that I was going to see 1up arcades! Thank God a real home arcade. Excellent set up.

[@mosquitos777]

Stylish nostalgia ,great set up ,love the pool table👌🏻

[@tha_truck4607]

This is one of the sweetest, if not thee sweetest home setups I have ever seen. Pinball, pool, slots and arcade classics. Perfectly balanced as all things should be.

[@alanbenlolo5738]

Thank you, much appreciated. Obviously lots or work went into it, lots of work to upkeep, and I am always expanding it...that's what the hobby is all about

[@pacscalatorarcade5736]

Nice vid awesome collection! Jealous that you have a game room with that much space!

[@darthsynchronic]

Amazing Man Cave setup...😎👍

[@dlove7047]

Wizard of Oz pinball looks amazing

[@carlosrafael7705]

You want your kids to feel what the last quarter feels like, it’s priceless. But understandable from a parents guardian mindset. Hard balance

[@Martin-Young]

Alan, Thank you very much for take a tour through your humble house and showing us your various arcades! It is like going back in time. I wish I could go back to 1985 and never come back! Great job!

[@alanbenlolo5738]

let me know when you're going...I'll go with you

[@russellgentile4719]

Amazing Collection

[@ChicagoRetroGamer]

Man, who needs a Chuck E. Cheese when you got that room! Cheers, and just subbed. Keep on gaming my friend!

[@ChicagoRetroGamer]

@Blues Pizza Place Aka Cyberstar Virginia True that!

[@CloneH38]

Awesome Arcade man...that is amazing..I would be there for hours. I recently got three Arcade1up machines.. Star Wars, Ms. Pac-Man and Pac-Man Legacy Edition. You have the original cabinets that use quarters, that is so cool. You might need now Popeye, Kangaroo, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr...those are the ones I would love Arcade1up to make. I loved the Arcade back in the 80s..myself and brother would be going to arcades all the time in the 80s. Love all those games..so much fun.

[@giz02]

Man.. Love this.. Love the box of quarters.. great work!

[@Jasons_Arcade_PLUS]

Incredible collection. Very impressive. Thanks for sharing!

[@douglasmaloney7580]

Cool collection, people are sleeping on a lot of the newer pinball machines, I like a lot of the stuff Stern is doing.

[@UnlicensedOkie]

I’m slowly building my own home arcade Currently sitting at 4 machines Tetris, sky soldiers, Pac-Man, and T2. This type of arcade is what I dream of owning

[@alanbenlolo5738]

It's a great hobby, especially in the winter months when you're indoors a lot. It has become much easier and less expensive due to all the FB groups and sites on the web making and selling parts. Keep building, it takes decades!!!

[@Mysteriozone]

Thank you for sharing looks great.

[@JaydeAsh]

Thanks for sharing your collection with the Community

[@Evercade_Effect]

Love your setup thanks so much for sharing. I know you have 50 cabinets so they have to be so close together but it's a shame you can't see the beautiful artwork on the sides.

[@Vectrex4Life]

Great collection! I'm 22 and have 10 machines myself but half of them are in storage so I'm kind of jealous of your space, haha, Do you restore the machines yourself?

[@alanbenlolo5738]

You can restore them to the best of your ability. I do the best I can with the available parts I can buy on the internet. You can learn a lot from Mike's Arcade or other you tube channels when restoring, but I try to buy them in as good as shape as possible to avoid complete tear downs as I am not that technically inclined. Decals, control panel overlays, buttons, joysticks, marquees, besels, led lighting, t-molding, and minor paint work, that's about the things I am qualified to do. If board needs repair, I have to send them out.

[@QW.821]

Any update to your arcade?

[@alanbenlolo5738]

Lots of updates, lots of new games, I will have to do a new video soon

[@mr.disney4740]

EXTREMELY RAD ! I am just surprised you don't have digdug, donkey kong, zaxxon, or air hockey or classic are hockey! Well done though..BRAVO ! (New Subscriber)😎

[@hadleykay1827]

Alan, this is insanely cool.

[@tonybeltran3221]

What a FANTASTIC game room! So cool! Alan, did you live in Santa Clarita at one time?

[@alanbenlolo5738]

Thank you Tony. I am born and raised in Toronto.

[@babylononfire815]

Love the video, thanks for sharing! I apparently should have worked @ Chuck E Cheese, lol. Can you elaborate on the NHL jerseys? I've relocated all around the USA and am curious about the jerseys: Stars, Canada, Lindros, Rangers, Blues, etcx. Lay it on me, bro.

[@alanbenlolo5738]

The Chuck E Cheese stepping stone seemed to work out pretty well for me. Regarding the jerseys, at one point at a previous home, I had every NHL team jersey hanging on the wall, and I chose to collect the "3rd jersey" from each team as they were referred to back then. Over time, I also started collecting signature jerseys, Gretzky, etc. At this house, I don't have enough room to hang them all so after the signature ones, I chose to hang the ones that colors looked good.

[@sandraruiz3834]

So cool I'd love to have some of my favorites like pole position, frogger, spy hunter etc etc etc etc very cool! 🕹

[@2Zuz]

Awesome collection and I love the setup...

[@airgroverjuniorcoaster9357]

😠NOT ME!!

[@nextplat1]

Just subbed and liked 👍🏻. Love your space and such great nostalgia. I do have a question. I'm moving away from arcade1up and jumping into the OG cabs but have noticed that with having my dual racer Lemans 24 and CarnEvil cab going at the same time I sometimes trip a breaker. Did you have any special electrical work done to not trip breakers with all of those CRTS? Once again awesome room and shirt. I've got the same exact one "WTP".

[@alanbenlolo5738]

I had my electrician use 15amp breakers and inatall a wall socket very 5 feet along the wall which each take 2 games, sometimes 3. They all go back to the panel but I'm not sure how many plugs each breaker holds, never blown a fuse and I turn them all on with 5 different wall switches. People think they use a lot of electricity but they really dont

[@philipnapier3382]

Awesome collection !!! Beautiful room

[@paulsworkshop4179]

Sweet collection!

[@harhem]

Wow - nice private collection. I first saw your collection when i saw your house up for sale and saw the pictures on the mls site (do not worry - will not give out your location.) Actually my dream lottomax house is 3 doors down from you on the left ( at the cul de sac)

[@alanbenlolo5738]

Do you live in the area? I built that house (#18) and now have it up for sale. It has a huge basement with a theatre, bar and a massive open room 25'x100' with plugs on the wall every 5' controlled by wall switches at the entrance to the room...designed exactly for another huge arcade

[@harhem]

@@alanbenlolo5738 I wish - I am about 300 km away . It is my lotto Max dream home If I get 55 plus million i will be making an offer. as it is my #1 choice. Maybe a bit less than asking because i know the listing history .and would look at 2 week closing. That is my dream home. Would someone be able to offer to buy the furniture Big family on my wife's side . Dining room table is perfect. Kitchen and butler's pantry -- WOW. Back yard grass needs work ( according to current picture) but if I had it I would perhaps look at designing an indoor pool for any higher prize. I already thought about that large room .I would look at a golf simulator and putting simulator a pool table and minimum 2 pinballs . looks like more room for other goodies. That office with the 3 desks would my stock trading room. I love the theatre. The butlers pantry is amazing as well. One question. Have you ever met B.S? I understand they may of sold their property as well.

[@davidrockefeller2007]

$150,000 basement !

[@quantumfx2677]

Now you need to add a Vpin as well.

[@dragongamer2670]

Nice Collection! But I love collecting some of the unique rare stuff that others don't run into. Many of those Arcade games you have you still come across many times sadly. I know of an Arcade here which has "Sinistar" and many other rare games.
