My Dream Home Arcade & Pinball Tour - 2024

[@Arcade_Dave]

Love the game room tour and thanks for sharing !! Can’t wait to see the toy room tour . The only thing that we have in common is that you did my Star Wars Star Cadet mod back in the day and I absolutely love it and play it all the time . Jealous of the space you have for all those arcades, pinball and toys .

[@KongsRUs]

Thanks Dave! Funny enough, I actually don't have my original Star wars mod anymore. Need to replace it with my cockpit I was building!

[@udstyle]

Bro you are without a doubt an icon in the home arcade community! Appreciate the look into your world! The arcade tour was 🔥🔥🔥

[@KongsRUs]

thank you for the kind words! truly appreciate it

[@manuelthewiseguy]

Hi Bee, your home arcade is absolutely gorgeous. Your modding is "most impressive!"

[@KongsRUs]

This room is a fever dream!!!! I get so much motivation off this channel.

[@GrampsArcade]

Nice job, great looking arcade! I’ve done a few of these mods, but you’ve inspired me to look at others!

I didn't even know there was a legit Robotech Macros coin-op arcade game until I visited Galloping Ghost. Your Arcade is an awesome next level showcase for all the incredibly talented people and companies that share our passion for Home Arcade customization & mods 🖖 Bravo B !

[@retrolizardscustomarcades]

Very cool home arcade!

[@KongsRUs]

Thanks BAE!!

[@8BitGamingLegend]

Love it dude! Get yourself an X-Men pin

[@KongsRUs]

Haha, I'll play it on location, not planning to get it

[@maestr0damus356]

Wow great job on your home arcade! Just watching this video takes me back to my childhood bro. Wishing you continued success.

[@KongsRUs]

Thank you for watching! Nostalgia is the best

[@00raider13]

Looks great. Love the tour!

[@KongsRUs]

Thank you!! 😊

[@REALRETRO530]

Honored that Retro530 contributed in small way to that amazing home arcade! 🍻

[@KongsRUs]

Honored to have so many retro530 products across all my arcades!!

[@videogamevegas]

Kongs, I love a good home arcade tour and yours is an amazing space! I also wanted to come by and thank you for your video tutorial on how to install the Buy Stuff Arcades mod on my Time Crisis. Like your Team Encoder mod tutorial for the Arcade1Up Attack From Mars, you hit every step and I was able to upgrade the Time Crisis and it's working beautifully! I also bought Buy Stuff Arcades Out Run mod, but it was a bust. Ended up sending the wheel I bought from them back to them (which they installed all the guts for me), so they could see if they could get it working. That mod was SO HARD to do, because I couldn't find one definitive video for just my setup, an Out Run machine using the stock speakers with the Buy Stuff Arcades amp. I had to piece together many parts of different videos to even get it all hooked up. Then, of course, it didn't work. I hope Buy Stuff Arcades can get this working for me, because it looks like a great mod. I've always wanted to have games like Hydro Thunder and Crazy Taxi in my Home Arcade. It sure cost me a bundle to ship it back to them for repair, $127, so fingers crossed :) Thanks again for the tour and also your tutorials! Have a great one! vgv

[@KongsRUs]

thanks VGV! appreciate the feedback and glad your TC mod worked out well. Outrun mods were one of their earlier ones, so hope it works out well for you. i'll try to make more dedicated videos once i finish up the ridge racer and outrun dashboard mods that i'll upgrade with buy stuff

[@kantidinda6218]

Looks great Bee. Hope to see you at Expo.

[@KongsRUs]

I'll be there! Look forward to mtg you

[@halfadozen6]

Some of the best mods I’ve seen!

[@KongsRUs]

Thanks man!!

[@Tim_York]

Loved the tour Bee. We need the tour of your toy room. Miss seeing you and Mrs. Kong weekly. 🖖🏼

[@KongsRUs]

awww, thanks Tim! Toy room tour coming soon, and hope Mrs Kongs-R-Us joins me for an occasional live stream

[@Holein1scott]

I've been subscribed for a while but just now getting around to watching this video. Awesome arcades! I love all the mods.

[@KongsRUs]

Thank you!

[@WTS3Point]

awesome dude! makes me miss mine. Had to give mine up a few months ago when I moved. Now it all sets in storage.

[@TheresaJohnLobos]

Very nice Bee

[@KongsRUs]

thank you!!!

[@TexasGamer915]

Awesome game room Bee! Would love to see the toy room too.

[@KongsRUs]

thank you! I'll do a toy room tour soon

[@lovetheblue6659]

I remember viewing your Virtual Pinball mods ... Where did those machines go?

[@allubis8950]

Would love a tour of your toy room! It looks so organized!

[@KongsRUs]

It's coming next!!

[@ThePinballNoob]

That Star Wars pinball topper would be $2000 if Stern made it lol!

[@TheLAexplorer]

As much as we all nitpick at these products/manufacturers, I'm glad that they've made it possible to own/fit so many of them in the average home. My younger self would not believe it.

[@KongsRUs]

Totally agree!

[@AJDIYNetwork]

Nice!

[@timborski1210]

Im pretty blessed to have a wife who said the entire 2nd floor is mine lol, atm i have a Pool Table, Dart Board (the big ones), shuffle board table, 2 pins (need 4 more lol) I sold my 1up cabs since they just never got played but i do miss them in terms of an art piece just sitting there.

[@KongsRUs]

They definitely are really nice as functional artistic furniture!! Made the most of my space, enjoy your 2nd floor!!

[@Victor-it6bv]

You are truly the mod master. Nothing left stock in that room except maybe the real pinball machines.

[@KongsRUs]

haha, i even have mods on my pinball machines too :). Modding is fun!

[@sethpoirier6271]

YES ! We want to see a tour of your toy room !

[@carlo1132]

Looks amazing, miss the kits and live streams!

[@KongsRUs]

Awww, thanks Carl! Will try to do some occasional live streams some time

[@WTS3Point]

ok came back to finish up the tour. That one at 21:21 i NEED to see more!

[@ahchAhwar71]

They are very nice

[@jimharper5710]

Like the TMNT display. We did something similar with my Marvel Suoer Heroes cab. My son loves putting Marvel figures and other collectibles in there. Will likely do same with our TMNT cab.

[@KongsRUs]

functional furniture meets functional display cabinet!! :)

[@andrewdocherty8651]

I am a home theater nerd, but this is awesome!

[@KongsRUs]

Thank you! Appreciate it

[@jonathanmatos714]

Love your Arcade specially the Star Wars Battle Pod

[@KongsRUs]

thank you!! Battle Pod is probably my favorite thing too

[@staticcling813]

Amazing home arcade! Definitely want to see the toy room. Are the shelves your lightsabers are on 3d printed? If so, where can I get the STL?

[@KongsRUs]

Those stands are the original ones that came with Master Replica light sabers. Thanks!

[@raychow5419]

Dam, you lucky you have a supportive wife who lets you do what you love.

[@KongsRUs]

Very supportive, although she wasn't too happy when i sold the couch tho.

[@dolemite8282]

I can tell you have put a lot of hard work into your setup! Great Job! One thing I kept telling myself, is that the power bill must be through the roof when everything is on lol. I am assuming you have an upgraded breaker panel for your home as well, correct? Keep up the great work!

[@KongsRUs]

Haha, I don't turn on every thing too often so doesn't take too much power 😅

[@Isztvankron]

Awesome. Wanna see the figure room

[@KongsRUs]

Thanks! It's coming soon

[@lethalwolf7455]

Fun Fact, that Tron was the only A1up that you can’t find their logo on anywhere. Disney wouldn’t allow it in the licensing contract.

[@Jumanji-ds5nd]

Awesome, second floor room. You guys maximized the space perfectly. What do you think about adding a JJP’s machine? Pirates of the Caribbean, The Hobbit, Elton John or Avatar. The music, lights, call outs, original voices on JJP’s make a home arcade room shine. Love the Sterns, but when common mortals play, I pay attention to what they gravitate into, most of the time, fighting games, wheels, guns, JJP pinball screens.

[@KongsRUs]

JJPs are beautiful machines and very attractive, but also very expensive entry points to owning them. I'm lucky to have a few good pinball locations popping up around me that I've been able to play more pinball including JJPs. Pinball Wizards in Long Beach and AYCE Gogi in Van Nuys have a few JJPs to play!

[@Johnenoch226]

Awesome video, you should team up with third-floor arcade to do a live stream together.

[@antoinemartin1302]

Amazing.... I move it 😍 you have 3 pinball machine... Which one is your number 1 , 2 and 3 please? Congratulations 🎉 amazing 🤩 thank you for sharing

[@KongsRUs]

Thank you! In terms of the pins I play the most, it goes 1: Foo 2:GDZ 3:Star Wars

[@richterm3516]

Many of us did, I sold our dining room table, I'm in four rooms of my home.

[@KongsRUs]

😄 the sacrifices we make

[@boboifiii1289]

Hey buddy! Hope you and the family are doing well!

[@KongsRUs]

Hey Bob! Hope you and family are well

[@georgewindsor2667]

yeah im ooking to do a macross arcade myself, theres a few great macross games ....gonna build a full size tho

[@Mercdds]

Very cool tour. Where did you get the Star Destroyer in the top right of your Star Wars?

[@KongsRUs]

Thanks! It's the Star Wars Armada mini fig. amzn.to/3Y225Qf

[@sarassilva9938]

You are unbelievable!!!! I’m so jealous😢. Your amazing dude😢, I want to rent a room 😂. Amazing job my friend❤. I have a question and you’re obviously the one to ask. I had to replace my pcb’s on my arcade 1up Star Wars and attack from mars from arcade1up. With the new pcb’s, can I put all 3 tables on one with the new arcade 1up pcb’s? I lost that mode when the original pcb’s burned out. I would like to put marvel, Star Wars and attack from mars tables on 1 table. All 30 tables on 1. Could I do the mod the same way I did it with the original arcade 1up pcb’s? Or does the new pcb’s prevent me from doing that? Thank you so much🙏. Your the best🤩🤩🤩

[@KongsRUs]

i think you should be able to mod the new PCB's, haven't heard they blocked the mod at all. If you run into any issues, i recommend joining the Team Encoder discord or reaching out to Ben Michael James Cross on the A1up Facebook groups. He's the best at helping people troubleshoot the A1up Pinner Mod

Cat: Yo I stay up all night playing tmnt. I needed back up bro. I can only touch teo buttons at a time.

[@KongsRUs]

Lol

[@eduardomatos2874]

How big is that Kong r Us light up logo? I definitely would like to see a tour of your toy room.

[@billkirby75]

I personally like your Star Wars Battle Pod better than 19KFox Battle Pod. 👍

[@KongsRUs]

Awww, thank you!!!

[@hectoraleman]

My cat likes to hide inside of my RecRoomMasters Cabinet. Especially when we have company over.

[@KongsRUs]

Lol, essentially we all have overpriced cat condos

[@liljazzy4021]

Did you replace the TMNT kickplate with a clear plexi or just leave it open? My son and I are thinking about doing this with our X-Men…

[@KongsRUs]

It's just open, no clear plexi, but good idea!

[@TINMANHOANG]

Is there a Virtual On - Cyber Trooper in your garage?

[@KongsRUs]

Lol, yes

[@CustomGames-wg9gv]

Nice! So what does your dining room look like now? 😂

[@KongsRUs]

Lol, safe from my madness with plenty of wine for Mrs Kongs-R-Us 😄

[@charliewilson85]

In regard to the Stern’s, if you could do it over again, would you have gotten Godzilla first? Does star wars get much play after you owned Godzilla?

[@KongsRUs]

That's a tough question! When I first wanted to own a pinball machine, the theme was my #1 priority so I gravitated towards Star Wars. After getting more into pinball and learning how to play more, I enjoyed more unique layouts and fell in love with Godzilla as well. I still enjoy my Star Wars pinball so it's nice to have the variety.

[@ahchAhwar71]

Are those pinball tables made from arcade 1up?

[@KongsRUs]

Haha no, Stern Pinball

[@JohnE.Blayze]

I didn't see the TMNT Transformer in your collection

[@KongsRUs]

I have one! Won't fit inside the cab

[@vt1272]

Where does your wife and kids even live? That entire house is just YOUR stuff! lol

[@KongsRUs]

Haha, this was just our small den and then my dedicated room. There's plenty of space for the family still!

[@JasonBaker1978]

Hot take: IF your "home arcade" consists of 1UP machines etc... You are totally missing the point of why emulation exists and how to use it. Machines are for original PCBs PERIOD!

[@TheLoneDrow916]

Hard disagree

[@JasonBaker1978]

@@TheLoneDrow916 Tell me how many original arcade PCBs do you own? If I had to wager a guess I'd say zero... Is that a fair assumption?

[@nellen55]

Cool pin's, everything else is just dogshit one ups

I’m starting my home arcade and it’s very cool that there is a community for this. I am so happy I found time crisis and marvel vs capcom from arcade 1up
