"When you die in Robotron, you feel like its your fault!" Classic! Love it John.

[@darren-dxn-106]

Your Tron game is the best there, have been watching all your videos on youtube, brings back loads of memorys of our local arcade back in the 1980's. We had them all, Tron, 2xPole Position's,2xStar Wars, Tempest,Defender.outrun,space harrier,Pac-land,Mr Do!,Hang-on,2xBuck Rogers,Mach3 lazer disk,Track n Field etc etc.my brother got a job there and ended up being given the Tron machine, could not get it in our house so had to live outside in the garage and suffered in the damp, we still have the game boards and marquee for it, your videos are amazing john, cheers Darren. Cornwall UK.

[@302RELL]

I can't tell you enough how much your channel gets me through 12 hour graveyard shifts at work lol

[@Twobarpsi]

John! I LOVE these extended videos!! They are freakin' AWESOME! I remember when "an hour", was long LOL! Also, I love the history you tell about each game, and especially the game play. The "End of Year Tour", is always one of favorite videos to watch!!

[@Johnsarcade]

Lol. Yeah. Thanks!

[@cottonproductions]

I'm half way through this video so far and it's great. I did fall asleep a little but only cause it's so relaxing. I like your vids a lot.

[@K1NGARTH3R]

Watched the whole video tonight (on a school night with beer!) great video John. Here's to 2016.

[@paulutah9176]

Love to see a 2023 update on what the arcade is like now. Hope you are well.

[@insider1927]

Thanks John I stumbled across your channel about a year ago searching for Gorf on youtube. I am now an avid fan , I doubt I will ever buy a game let alone restore one but your enthusiasm and general nice guy appeal really shines through. Thanks all the way from Wales Uk.

[@RWL2012]

Stone Roses I'm in Wales too!

[@RogersRoyal]

Just wanted to say. Great video. Took me a few days to get through it all as I couldn't watch four hours straight in one sitting and had to keep coming back to it. So forgot a lot of what I wanted to note or say as I was watching it. But doesn't matter.. it was a fun watch and the year in review is always a great look back on everything and nice way to end a year of episodes so that the next batch can start. Here is to a great 2016. Can't wait to see what that brings you and the fans here. Great trips, pick ups, games and repair sessions and more. And oh that popcorn looked soooooo good. Definitely have to make it every time in your year end reviews. Nice tradition.

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks for watching. Happy New Year!

[@beeblebrux2112]

I made it to the end, John! It took me 3 days of watching off and on, but I watched every minute. Totally worth it. Congrats on a successful 2015, and here's to another great year. Thanks for everything you do. Even though I'm not in the hobby myself (maybe someday), it's awesome to have an insider look at these great relics of my past. Cheers!

[@ryanmorrell7796]

Brother John.One year anniversary of me first watching your videos now just spent almost straight 4 hours and its was simply amAZZZIng.

[@CoconutCop]

Awesome video, John. Looking forward to more great content in 2016. BTW - This video is 2 minutes and 52 seconds longer that the first Lord of the Rings. Take that Peter Jackson!

[@LeightonW87]

Watched it from start to finish, fantastic video, shocked at the length when it started.

[@SHAD0WPR0JECT]

aw John you Trojan! Joe saying you look fatigued (havent watched yet) i bet you are mate after starting a second youtube channel, I salute you for your time and effort buddy. I hope Mrs Johns Arcade is not missing out on you too much :D Thankyou so much John I love your channel.

[@lockingfine]

been watching these when i need a pick me up - i always leave these thinking about starting up an arcade in my small home town - trust me there is almost nothing to do here for the kids and many of my best memories are being in an arcade in the late late 70's and early 80's --- thank you for making these and giving me the true feeling like we are all your friends,wish you lived on the west coast but sadly you do not -- keep up the great work and keep the vids coming i love them.

[@lungchuntin]

Great to see this great video John and it's an awesome work, really every mid 40 people dream and has a game centre at home like you! This could only happen in US and really impossible in Asia, I estimate at least need 3,000 feet or bigger; most important is the passion to chase back the childhood and this heart is really admirable, I can see this through your video tour, full of hope, exciting, passion, happiness and this really shows what a meaningful life should be!

[@Johnsarcade]

+龍震天 thanks for watching and the nice comments!

[@TheGreenDinoGamer]

I like how you laugh while you talk John! It makes me laugh too! :D

[@blazerfrazer]

i made it to the end! 4 parts though, while restoring a sega Rally 1 over 4 days. thanks John, most enjoyable.

[@Johnsarcade]

Cool! Sega Rally looks fun. Thank for watching.

[@yockeonline]

I MADE IT TO THE END! started watching on the 13, mad it all to end today 25...!! Holy crap!

[@mygoditsbob]

Thanks for all the work in putting these videos together. Before the end of this I subscribed. I am an old school video gamer. I remember when they installed the first Pong in the student union at the University of Minnesota. I would put my quarter up on the deck and wait my turn. Watching your vids brings back a lot of memories. I restored an EM pinball back in the '80's and I look forward to your getting your pin back in 100% working order.

[@mokthemagicman]

There were so many great moments over the year it is hard to pick the best. I would have to say the creation of the button joystick for the one handed guy was one of the nicest things I have ever seen, but I would also have to say your tour of the new Stern Pinball was all kinds of awesome as well. As I told you before, tons of people on Pinside went ape shit over it. There hasn't really been a video that thorough on that factory as yours was. Incredible that George G himself gave you a tour too. That cameo of Steve Richie at the end was just classic. A true pinch yourself moment I bet. Anyway. We love you John and keep up the great show/s and looking forward to having fun at CAX in 2016 and of course Drunkfest/Grinkfest. Thanks again for bringing us arcade guys together and creating new friendships and memories I will always cherish forever. -Mok

[@lionneko]

great year John. Love to see you down south again and waiting for some winter fun. -Darkcat1

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Great video John You have such fantastic collection buddy. Watching you play and talk so passionately about the games makes me want to hang out with you and play games all day . Hopefully one day I can make the trip to bro fest Great video mate

[@cyndiemorrison2973]

What a bit of vicarious fun. I'm in the "you can have one pin and one video arcade game club". Watching makes me wish I had: more disposable income, more space in my home, more technical know-how, more time. I can't decide if I should say "you rock" or "you suck." I'm feeling both right now.

[@Johnsarcade]

+Pete Morrison Thanks! It took a lot of time and work. :)

[@gozinta82]

You worked at Caesarland?!?! You may have worked at the one I went to for one of my birthdays!! I lived in Libertyville for a few years, and Bartlett for another 5 or so. That place was so awesome, no one knows about it where I live in Arizona now. Great vid, John! Thanks for going in-depth! I love hearing you talk about how much time you've invested, I'm sure it feels good to say it :)

[@tobjord]

It's an old video, john. but i love em. you are so "knowledgable" about arcade games. i could listen all day... and i do ;D Are you planning releasing more videos in the future? i'd love to see new videos...

[@neojeets]

I love how that Jump Bug came out. It looks great in the basement.

[@turbografx7]

man, I love watching your channel! I'm going to start getting into arcades and pinablls. I finally have a house that can accommodate the hobby!

[@TortureBot]

Great vid man! I allotted about 20% of my allowed Verizon wireless data usage for this month to watch it all. (I'm stuck with no other internet options in the boonies.) Here's to more arcade restoration and collecting goodness in 2016!

[@kamiboy]

3 hours and fifty minutes? John, this is madness!

[@utubepunk]

Madness? This. Is. John's. Arcade!!! *Spartan kick* :-p

[@Riz2336]

Crazy long video but still entertaining dude, you've got a great arcade man.

[@onji]

Almost 4 hours! Jesus h! thanks for the dedication John. Your fans appreciate it. Maybe to make it easier on yourself next year; only do the year end review on what has changed? I mean since this one is so thorough, its a good starting point. Anyway, thanks again.

[@Arcadehollywood]

Really cool to see the evolution of your arcade through the years.

[@WaddleJrJr]

I actually like the chipping paint on the switch covers, makes them look more industrial.

[@etienneodk]

I also finally made it to the end.Thanks for this video John, and thanks for the shoutout, that 3 amibro's sticker got a great spot in the basement !

[@Johnsarcade]

+etienneodk Thanks, Etienne!! :)

[@Richard31337]

Just finished watching this now. Did it in 3 sittings. Really loved this one John! Your videos are fantastic and inspired me to get into this hobby. You've seen my modest arcade on Twitter I know and hopefully one day I will have space for loads more games as I'm very jealous of your basement :) great to see all of the bits you don't normally show, even the parts storage area! Keep 'em coming, really looking forward to your new material and the Computer Space stuff this coming year :-D

[@TvirusGT]

Love all your videos John and these long ones are always my favorite! I really appreciate all the hard work you put into your videos! Keep up the great work

[@joebristowtechnologicalbre2073]

John, thanks a lot for all the vids last year, nothing quite like it on KZbin. Particularly liked the Chicago visits. The music you used whilst filming the video of the superdawg man and woman hot dog is the stuff of legend. I've tried to recreate the pickles and fillings of the superdawg at home. It's not just about arcades.......its about food as well. My wife says who are you watching again, who is he? Cheers John, thanks again.

[@Johnsarcade]

Lol. I love me some food. Too much. :)

[@Joe20110530]

I really hope that you can do a compilation to show us the before/after pics of your restored games so we can more easily appreciate your amazing work. I almost forgot how crappy some of those games once were when you first got them and what you actually did to them...

[@binkman853]

Another great year. Thanks for all you do and share with us. I hope to join the club in 2016. I feel like I could do some basic repair & restoration work when the time goes.

[@JeffWaldronArcade]

That is the nicest Red Tent I've ever seen.

[@johngreve2104]

Hey John, fun vid....never miss one. Please hold the paper steady when you hold it up in front of the camera. Impossible to see it otherwise. Good luck on the new year!

[@Johnnyafc]

Really enjoyable video looking forward to your 2016 Journey! 👍🏻

[@bneyens]

I somehow amazingly watched this entire video

[@MaxArcher755]

Recommending this video next time someone has a cross-country flight haha!

[@ChezArcade]

Watched every minute! Took me two days but I did! Lol. Good stuff, only arcade videos I watch all the way through!

[@33kingnaz]

congrats on another great year!!! cant wait to see what you have planned this year!!!!

[@franvlove8370]

[@Johnsarcade]

+frances valdez Thanks, Allan! Good luck with your collection!

[@anthonyotoole8737]

John Please Please Please come back and give us an update video !!!!

[@theSammyM333]

Yeah finally had enough time to watch this video and I think this is your best video yet! What a way to start new year. Because of you I kinda got hooked to this hobby also or I bought punch wrecked arcademachines already now I have to start work on them :D

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks! Happy New Year.

[@givezerofx]

I love the way you did this video.

[@wizpin]

Great vid, thanks! BTW, even here in Spain, it is pretty common to have an egg on your burger :D And yeah, that is really nice.

[@midnightkitty8172]

I remember odd games, sort of late 70's - early 80's: Sea Wolf Uni War S Phoenix Moon Cresta Moon Patrol M - 79 Wizard of Wor Venture Stuff like that. Even in the collectible world they are strange.

[@RetroGamePlayers]

2:03:56 LOVE the music and sound effects on Mad Planets!! Awesome that you have that game!

[@AustinLaPlante]

I watched it all. Had to take an iPad and an iPhone to watch it all.

[@terrencelabroix5272]

Hey John, really happy to hear about the Brofest trip to California Extreme!

[@goldkirby]

This is awesome man. Thank you for all of your hard work.

[@uhfnutbar1]

Tempest , A trick i learn John on how to replace eage connector fast (as long as it solder ).. (if crimp i you have to cut strip each one)... with out reading pin outs just un-solder one wire at time from old eage connector to your new eage connector. this way there no pin-out brain work, you can safely copying each pin one at time, it save lot time to :)

[@MusicalBox]

New guy to your channel here. I can't believe I actually watched the entire video. But it was very informative and brought back a lot of memories. I was hoping to see a Stargate machine in your collection. That is my all time favorite game. I know you can't own every single arcade games, but is there any particular reason why you don't have that one ? I didn't watch any of your other videos yet btw. So sorry if the answer is in one of them.

[@Johnsarcade]

+MusicalBox Stargate rules. Just never got one. Used to have it in my Multi-williams. Tough game! Thanks for subscribing and watching! :)

[@MusicalBox]

Yes, it is a very difficult game. A few days ago I tried the MAME Stargate rom on my computer, but it is unplayable on a keyboard of course.

[@MarioCoelen]

Great video as usual John, thank you so much :D

[@delsarcade]

It took me 4 days to watch this in parts and I FINALLY finished. LOL. Great video and Happy New Year John!

[@Johnsarcade]

Awesome. Thanks pal.

[@LordMonkus]

Man I just found your channel and love these videos showing off your games. You got me inspired to get my Asteroids Deluxe cabinet fixed up. It's been messed up for a good number of years now and it's time to get it back up and running. Love the Tony Hawk boards too. One day a 720 cab would be awesome to own.

[@Johnsarcade]

+Lord Monkus Congrats on your Asteroids Deluxe! Such a cool game. And, yeah... 720 rules :)

[@psypher039]

Hi John, i live in japan and i can confirm that eggs are a popular burger topping here. p.s. incase you were wondering i am originally from boston so your neck of the woods actually and have been in japan for 3 years now.

[@MystiqEevee]

You don't actually have to heat the kettle up on popcorn popper I have similar popper in my gameroom and if you just put kernels and oil in and then turn the stirrer on it does eventually heat up nicely and pop

[@user-py8xw5bk1s]

Nice! Very retro. Nice Prince poster.

[@MrVegardhk]

I'm looking forward to the ice cold beer coindoor special!

[@arcademoica1627]

totally agree on how Joust have influenced Mario Bros. I never made that link before... THANKS!!

[@TheGameCollector]

Your videos are so entertaining to watch. You seem so dedicated and I suck in all the info you are telling. 😊 I could watch your videos all day long! 😊 I would love to get my hands on one arcade cabinet one day, but prices and availability in Norway is not that good. Cost too much, and I would also need to convince my wife. 😄

[@Johnsarcade]

+The Game Collector thanks pal!

[@memyopinionsche6610]

You had 4 frogger games and took all the best parts from those games to make your game.. So you made a FrankenFrogger IT'S ALIVE!

[@AlainHubert]

@3:11:37 the wobbly computer monitor, to go with the wobbly table, of course... lol !

[@bobbyjack8033]

Great work, Thank you John! Tablet had 96% battery at start and ended with 30% hahaha! I thought Buffett had the best cap kits in the world from a special place from Germany? Plus only $249.95 for k7000 kit, well add $9.95 S&H, sorry no discounts! LMAO just poking hehe

[@ashdeadite1225]

great vid john keep up the great work.

[@jjwolfeday]

We appreciate what ya do. Thanx!

[@DrGreenThumbNZL]

Major havoc looks awesome

[@DaveCurran]

Great stuff, looking forward to the 2016 projects.

[@timothydoom]

Mad planets looks AMAZING!!

[@Johnsarcade]

+Tim DOOM It IS a fantastic game!

[@TheManofDew]

Red Robin makes a great burger called the Royal which has egg on it. Sounds a bit odd but is sooooo good. So the egg makes sense to me for Burgertime. The sausage however...jealous?

[@NanoForest]

about sit down and watch this whole thing. Whens its over it will be 4:00am

[@Johnsarcade]

See you in the morning! :)

[@fusium]

And the pickled Eggs are about to fall on the ground,,love you john just busting your chops,,but i do think its time to meet the wife and kids on a video @John's Arcade

[@vwalbridge]

I watched the entire video! Took me 3 different days to do it but I made it!

[@Johnsarcade]

Thanks for watching!

[@avsiii7661]

Holy mackerel...!!! I've made it. I've watched the whole thing - I only stopped to take a piss, to eat, to make sure my cat is safe, and to enter the contest at John's Arcade. Was this the longest video yet???

[@Johnsarcade]

+avsiii Amazing! Yes, I think is my longest video to date. :)

[@bdawg3853]

Boom! Good Year!

[@memyopinionsche6610]

When a transformer goes bad it becomes a decepticon.

[@lordbemylight]

Have you considered adding the "speed-up" hack to Ms. Pac-Man? A few cabinets such as the one I saw on Santa Monica Pier had it. The game plays a lot easier and quicker when the Ms. Pac-Man is on its speed booster.

[@Tempora158]

I, Robot has filled polygons with no texture. We didn't get textured polygons in an arcade game until Daytona USA.

[@BottleBrassMonkey]

WE HAVE EGGS AND BEETROOT ON OUR BURGERS IN AUSTRALIA, DELICIOUS

[@RWL2012]

The Street Fighter cab boots into Tetris? Haha you need to fix that!

[@siimsimsiim]

Damn John, super intresting video and I want to watch it but where do I find the time to watch this 4 hour video... :P

[@Joka.-]

John u da man keep posting.

[@excaliburexcalibur1557]

There's a roach floating inside the pickled eggs jar.

[@techguy348]

I thought you used Final Cut, not Adobe Premiere. I use Adobe Premiere also and I have to agree its a great video editor tool. I also see that all your clips are peaking. I would recommend turning all the clips down to 1.5db to minimize distortion so the whole master would not distort after the final render

[@Redefine01]

Pinball is where ita at. You need a game that will be truly challenging to fix.

[@madconservativecrimefighte9456]

Good lord, four hours - should've had split this and did a part three.

[@anthonytheappguy4426]

The Out Of Order sign on your Computer Space is the same sign from Wreck-It Ralph. Right?

[@TheDealLasVegas]

i heard you got a mighty bomb jack board.....

[@superpacman73]

Dang it I missed a coupon for Ian Kellogg by one day! Just my luck

[@petervachon6989]

Hey John, happy new year and happy belated holidays. Nice wide monitor you're using for your video editing. What size of monitor are you using?

[@banish4cost]

I love the tour videos

[@santuel]

They put eggs on spaghetti in Japan too

[@Wagonracer8]

Hey John, how does your Burgertime say "FREEPLAY"? Did you install Adams coin up?
