Those Astro city’s are things of beauty mate. Looking forward to later vids showing them working, once you’ve decided on what to connect to them. Stupendous amount of classy shootem ups…class!😊

Thanks Nick. I'm really excited about the cabs mate

[@GameCheeze.]

Great pickups this month! New subscriber here, keep up the great work!

[@DadLadsGaming]

Thank you❤️

[@RetroClaire]

A pleasure Marcus 🙂 You know, I think those cabs make good birthday presents. You could maybe ask for one each year now?

[@DadLadsGaming]

What a fantastic idea😂 I think the wife might not agree.

[@RetroEdUK]

Some cracking books from Tommy. Love the look of the Moon Knight collection 👌 Gaiaries to a class shooter. The early pressies 😍. Get in!!!

[@DadLadsGaming]

Tommy does but some good stuff.... sometimes 😂 I'm over the moon with the cabs Ed👍👍

[@Champion2D]

Awesome getting those cabs. Tommy has great taste in comics. I didn't know they'd put the clone saga in omnibus volumes.

[@DadLadsGaming]

I totally agree Rob.....he's got some really cool Omni's now👌

[@craigshereagain6008]

Loving the 50th birthday pressies , I'm really looking forward to the special video showing you placing them in the setup, mods and even more so what routes you go down to get some games running on them , enjoy them 👍

[@DadLadsGaming]

I'm frigging delighted mate👍👍

[@Matropolis]

It’s great having your own arcade cab eh? I enjoyed Willy Morgan! I swear, I discover new point & clicks from you every video! 😂

[@DadLadsGaming]

Point and clicks ftw 😂 I'm over the moon with the cabs mate.

[@davidretrogamesplayedbadly3533]

Great to finally meet up mate, I totally agree with your thoughts on the black country event. Great pick ups, love the cabs. I'm blaming you entirely for my next pick ups video...

[@DadLadsGaming]

😂😂😂I'm excited already❤️

[@red7even52]

Congratulations on the candy cabs, NACs are awesome and they look like they are in great condition too ! looking forward to see the blogs and I reckon you will love the tinkering aspect of the arcade hobby, laters mate.

[@DadLadsGaming]

I'm certainly looking forward to learning more about the cabs ....already rotated one of the monitors. Haven't got any games yet though😂

[@red7even52]

Not an easy cab to rotate :) I actually got a few more cabs recently, a NAC, NNC and a Konami Windy, once the arcade bug bites you run out of space very quickly :)@@DadLadsGaming

[@DadLadsGaming]

They sound awesome mate. My son helped me rotate it👍

[@rollerxcore]

Clair does great work 🤘 Was great seeing you at the market and AC, although next time, we need to get on hyper sports together 🕹 Shikihondo is a beautiful game. Battle garregga is great, but oh boy its hard. Obviously the star of the show was at the end. What a pair of beauties. I cant wait to see what route you take in setting them up. Awesome stuff 🤘

[@DadLadsGaming]

Thanks Eddie. A couple of great meet ups last month. We must do it more often👍

[@RetroRewind77]

Sweet picks up dude but wow them arcades are mint. I love playing on my arcade when I get time on some classics.

[@DadLadsGaming]

I haven't got any games for them yet😂😂 I'll sort that asap though.

[@RetroRewind77]

@@DadLadsGaming wtf 🤣😂 I built mine with a raspberrypi which works well. Yours is next level though

[@steve36207]

Those 50th presents 😮 you lucky fooker Marcus 😂😂 some great shumps there aswel bud. I don't think I've seen the new aquaman yet, I agree though I think he is good in there 😃

[@DadLadsGaming]

Thanks Steve....I'm so chuffed with the cabs

[@DoYouNerd]

MORE Clone Saga! That Moon Knight omnibus is pretty nice looking.

[@DadLadsGaming]

Tommy certainly picks a good Omni👌

[@DoYouNerd]

@@DadLadsGaming Yoooo--from here on out, can we PLEASE refer to him as "Tommy Omni?"

[@DadLadsGaming]

😂😂

[@gullpayne]

That moon knight comic looks class

[@DadLadsGaming]

Cheers 🍻

[@bettyhordeclinic6147]

Atari 7800 nice addition there pal that cartridge cover is quality Cruse for a Corpse what a classic another classic Quake 2 still not got into my SWITCH can still count on one hand how many times i've used it LOL Great shooters pal Very Nice cabs so jealous but hey no room anyway LOL nicely shared pal

[@DadLadsGaming]

Cheers Bill. I'm absolutely over the moon with the cabs mate .

[@gib84gaming4]

Oooo those 2 cabs are beautiful 😍 Quake2 is the GOAT of boomer shooters lol. Thats quite a few shmups. Solid games lol. Top stuff lads 👌

[@DadLadsGaming]

I'm looking forward to playing Quake II👍👍

[@stewsretroreviews]

Some great games there lads, got a free new version of Quake 2 as I already had it in my steam account on PC, it's flippin class! I'm nearly 51 and need an arcade cab too! 😂 they look great! Nice one lads 👍

[@DadLadsGaming]

I think 50 is the new 30😂😂 So pleased to finally get an arcade cab. Really looking forward to Quake II.

[@stewsretroreviews]

@@DadLadsGaming It's mint!! 😊

[@tootyuk]

Good to see you lads at BCGF, oh very nice on the blast city's im assuming your going to be running a pi in there with mame or something?

[@DadLadsGaming]

Sinisteve is loaning me some boards initially but I think I'll try the RGB-PI Jamma.....looks cheap and easy. Maybe in the future I'll get some boards....Double Dragon would be nice 👍

[@amigaoldskool]

Tommy cracks me up “that’s looks s&@t but come on monkey island. Happy 50th for June Marcus them cabs are amazing and to have two for different screen modes. Yep you gonna enjoy them.

[@DadLadsGaming]

I'm delighted mate... Just need something to play on them now 😂😂

[@RETRORECLAIMER]

Already watched the video with the arcade cabs....must have been some effort moving everything around and getting them up 2 flights of stairs. Nice bunch of point and clicks for Tommy to play 🤣🤣

[@DadLadsGaming]

He's continuously impressed with them😂

[@CRTcade]

Middlesbrough colours! Still remember Mendieta there at the end of his career. Hope they get back up to the Premirer League someday. Haha, I can understand your son not being so into Monkey Island, must seem ancient to a younger generation 🤣I always laugh at the shmup, shooters, shooting game nomenclature that people make such a fuss about too, haha. You're actually correct by the way, in katakana, シューティングゲーム, shooting game, but I think now people are starting to even use that in Japan to refer to FPS games in modern times, as stg's sort of continue to fade out of the limelight, haha, what a confusing mess. Congrats on the candy cabs mate! those look beautiful, I'm looking to pass mine off, if I were local to you, would have given you deal! But I remember the excitement of getting mine in. They are awesome and you'll enjoy them thoroughly!!!

[@DadLadsGaming]

My dad turned 80 yesterday....he's a Middlesbrough season ticket holder. I'd love them to get back in the Premiership just for him tbh. I don't care what the games are called as long as they're good👍 I'm absolutely delighted with the cabs mate, obviously inspired yet again by your old videos❤️ I don't have any boards yet but a friend is loaning me some to make a start ....very excited 👍👍

[@CRTcade]

@@DadLadsGamingHaha, your dad's only little bit older than I am, lol. Top notch fellow he is, and so happy that my videos have served as useful inspiration over the years for you guys. Awesome to see you all enjoying the hobby together, as a father of son myself, love enjoying the N64 with my little one when we are together! Enjoy those Astro City cabinets!

[@HyperTriggerEx]

You know you can switch up the bullets in Garegga so that they’re more visable. It’s still balls hard mind, but takes the edge off the game. Mate I’m made up you’ve got the cabs as I know how long you’ve been after one, so much you got two lol. Amazing stuff, I’m not jealous honest ;). Take it easy.

[@DadLadsGaming]

I'll have to try that 👍 Cheers mate❤️

[@HyperTriggerEx]

@@DadLadsGaming You’re welcome. Well you can get some practice in when you install it in the TATE can :).

[@DadLadsGaming]

Good idea.

[@bundjohn]

Sounds like the Black Market was an awesome event! How does Quake 2 feel with a controller instead of a keyboard/mouse?

[@DadLadsGaming]

I've not played it yet mate, in cracking on with the early Doom series before I move onto Quake II. The Black Country events was an excellent day out👍👍

[@RetroRivals]

Super excited to play around the Castlevania Advanced collection as well. For some reason I didn't get it on the switch.....I should have but I got it on PS4 I do believe. Screw everyone that doesn't like Hogwarts Legacy because of the controversy. That being said, I haven't played it yet but I'm waiting for it to go down in price and then I'll snatch it up. BTW Happy Early Birthday!!!! Those cabs are gorgeous!!!

[@DadLadsGaming]

I really couldn't care less about the hullabaloo over Hogwarts....I know it'll be great when I get round to playing it. I'm over the moon with the cabs....I've wanted one for decades 👌

[@Canadian_Gamer]

Aaaand he’s back from exile. 😂 Cruise for a Corpse and Zak McKracken!!! Now you are speaking my language. Quake 2 🙏 Sega candy cabs?! 😮

[@DadLadsGaming]

I've had time to chill out😂😂 Really pleased with the point & clicks this month👍 Really looking forward to playing Quake II as well.
