Alex, what a great game tour with a absolute champion of the hobby. Ollys Arcade shop has helped 100’s if not 1000’s of dedicated cabinets become as good as they were back in the day. I’ve got to say as well guys who haven’t had the chance to get yourselves down to the Arcade archive in Stroud, what a great place with all the classics from late 70’s and early 80’s. Nostalgia overload…🕹️

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks Paul much appreciated mate

[@MikkyTee]

Nice to put a face to the name! Olly helped me a few years ago with custom graphics for my cabinet, super helpful and high quality stuff. Recommended.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Excellent 😎👍

[@TheAgent4125]

Love it Alex. And Olly, nice to put a face to a name!

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks mate

[@craigshereagain6008]

What a great selection of games Olly has in his arcade, some of my all time faves like buggy boy, outrun and indy Jones, plus a couple of candy cabs to play his pcbs, perfection. I also thought the pool table and the glass display cabinets worked so well and make the room an even better place to spend tine in. I've had a few bits from him when I was in the arcade hobby and he bought at least a couple of cabs from me, definitely an outrun deluxe and 4player hotrod, both stropped down into pieces so he had to rebuild them lol also privileged to meet him a couple of times and he's such a friendly and helpful fellow, glad to hear his business has been such a success, I'll hopefully buy some posters from him soon. Great video, love seeing everyone's gamesrooms, really interesting and enjoyable, take care alex 👍

[@TheArcadeArchive]

I was certain when I put this video up pretty much most of the community would have had some correspondence with Olly in one way or another. It’s nice to see what goes into making all this art and put a face to it all. Have you not got any cabs now mate ?

[@craigshereagain6008]

​@@TheArcadeArchive No cabs these days I'm afraid mate, I shifted them because I was selling the places I kept them all, a few went into storage but I sold them a couple of years later incase they died on me, as you touched on in the video I didn't expect there to be much of a problem buying some back later down the line, boy was I wrong there hahaha Not sure what to do now, I'd thought about a couple of candy cabs but I wouldn't want to go down the route of emulating everything and pcb prices these days are normally above what I'd be comfortable paying, even candy cabs themselves aren't easy to come by are they nowadays

[@trickysoft]

I've heard muddy music mentioned so many times, it was great to "meet" in this episode. His cabs look amazing.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks Richard

[@skyway73]

That was a brilliant watch, loved it. Amazing room and he's doing amazing work too, appreciated by many I'm sure. I've got nostalgia for that Indy game, me and my brother would bike from our village to the train station in Ipswich just to play it 😁 They had one in the café there

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks Ade He’s done so much for so many a real pillar for the community. Thanks for watching

[@TheChrisBeans]

Fun to put a face to Olly. Bought a few bits from him here and there, and it’s always top notch and quick too. Even semi custom stuff. Great collection there. A fun watch

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks for watching 😎👍

[@insertmanycoins1752]

Never stop doing these, every video just fills me with so much joy and nostalgia 👏🏻

[@TheArcadeArchive]

As long as collectors invite me I’ll keep doing them. Thanks for watching mate

[@Sinisteve]

Love these vids, will always be my favourites. I actually bought Olly’s Egret 2 all those years ago and it’s still going strong👌🏻 Top guy who does a great job reproducing the artwork for all our arcade restorations. It’s actually his artwork on my Galaxian in the cave, just side art and around the coin door.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

He’s done so much for so many I knew most people who watch my channel would appreciate this. Thanks for watching Steve as always mate

[@obigonzalez]

A lifesaver. Cheers, Olly.

[@DadLadsGaming]

Absolutely brilliant Alex. Olly is a top guy. Did an awesome job on a large Gradius poster for our games room door👌

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Oh I remember seeing that in your games room tour, that is awesome. Thanks for watching as always mate

[@Retro_Russ_]

Great stuff. Nice to put a face to the name at last. Thanks again for doing my Battlezone cabaret sideart Olly! Cheers. Thanks Alex for another great video- always fun to watch.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks Russ Always my pleasure to make videos like this as it’s always been part of my channel. More to come hopefully 🤞

[@libcrypt98]

Olly is a great guy and always friendly in emails!

[@SP95]

Oh so that was him, i've already ordered a couple pieces from him without knowing who he was

[@SegaSentMe1]

Great video Alex. What a room he has. Good to meet you at Arcade archive at the weekend. You've done a phenomenal job with the interactive arcade museum. Anyone reading this should pay a visit. Very knowledgeable and professional folk there. You ve worked hard mate.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thank you so much for your kind words mate it’s a absolute joy for me to interact with Arcadians that come to the museum it’s what I love the most. Hope to see you again soon Alex

[@leonhantz6383]

Good stuff, Olly's work has been and continues to be essential to the preservation of this hobby.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks Leon

[@jumpingeneral]

Thank you Alex for keeping the spirit of arcades alive ! Sharing your knowledge of the History You Rock!

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks for your kind words mate 😎👍

[@alanchang3133]

Did anyone else notice how quickly that door swung open? :P Great vid as always Alex!

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Haha Alan you crack me up, it’s called the magic of editing 😂

[@nobodytonobodysbusiness]

Nice guy to deal with. Thank you for work!

[@davidretrogamesplayedbadly3533]

Thought that crow was going to have your fingers off. What an awesome collection of pinball machines and arcades. Love buggy boy. Never seen the megatec, very cool. Bubble bobble ❤. Outrun 1 & 2, so jealous. Really enjoyed this mate.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks Dave The Rooks would have been inside my van if I’d let them, they were so tame. Glad you enjoyed the video Cheers Dave

[@SEGAZombie]

An amazing games room/arcad some beautiful sega cabs those outruns look like new ❤ Loved the history and all the tales behind some of these cabs

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks Scott So much Sega for you in most of my videos Scott you must have a huge shopping list by now 😂

[@electricadventures]

Fantastic arcade tour Alex, and some quite interesting machines that I have not had the fortune of playing. I'll be hitting up Ollie's shop for some art for my machines in the coming months as I work through my restorations (if I stop getting new projects ;)). That Mega-Tech looks very cool, never seen one of those at all, and really cool that Ollie had so many of the original cartridges for it.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Olly made your Helifire decals Tony which are very well done. He’s the man for all your arcade art mate

[@johnnygirling55]

Loved this episode Alex and Olly. Great games room and a good selection of games.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks John

[@c7261]

Aw he seems a sweetheart & top bloke. Thanks for these vids. I've noticed a big leap in quality (they were great before but now they're really special with the editing and tripod assisted shots). You weave a narrative well by doing an aside about each cabinet as it's introduced. I used to think Crowley was just occultism bollocks but I'm happy to see that they're friendly befeathered fellas after a pasta nosh 🍝🐦

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Haha Alister Crowley was a occultist but less said about him the better and I’m not related 😂 Thanks for your kind words mate as it takes so long to edit but the finish video and your comments always makes it worth while.

[@wolfbeast80]

I was always wondering how the cabs were scanned. Learned something new today 😅 another great tour. Feeding the Crowleys was nostalgic. As family, we would get a burger and chips from a burger can, we'd always feed the seagulls and the crows leftover chips they would pluck them from the sky, fascinating to watch it was great entertainment. I love Bubble Bobble, great game but the looping music does get annoying fast 😄

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Hi Mathew Glad you enjoyed the tour and my mad random feeding of the Rooks 😂 My kids were feeding the gulls on Monday and then squirting them with water pistol 🔫 😂

[@D4ftChunk]

Great to see the man behind the artwork ! A real legend in arcade forums !

[@TheArcadeArchive]

He certainly is, thanks for watching

[@zamiadams4343]

Great to see more pinball on the channel! Love the channel bigtime Alex.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

My next game room tour will have loads of pinball 😉

[@GoodwinsPlace]

Great tour. Olly has a great collection there, I've always looked through Arcade Art Shop, might be worth seeing if he can help out on some of the custom pinball printing when I'm at that stage.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

I’m sure he would Craig 👍

[@VanDammage87]

Love these game room tours!

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thank you

[@Bulla666]

Great guy Olly, what would we do without him ! Great tour

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thank Paul

[@rollerxcore]

such a cool watch. I keep meaning to make an order from his shop for a while now. i really need to get my Candy cabs personalised. was surprising how he did the scans, It just shows the passion he has, as those must have taken for ever! 👍👍

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks Eddie Those posters I gave you came from Olly so you can tell it’s all top quality stuff. Thanks for watching mate

[@SwainyAtRetroAsylum]

A top fella & a top collection! Well done Alex 👍

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks Dean

[@DaveVelociraptor]

Brilliant video. What a fantastic game room, Olly is super interesting and the art is amazing

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks mate 😎👍

[@retroimportgamer513]

That was brilliant Alex, such a cool room with so many beautiful cabs, my two favourite games of all time in the Outrun corner, those two alone would be a dream. Love the Buggy Boy cab too and what amazing history with that cab. Donkey Kong is a beauty A very talented guy as the artwork looks spectacular Fantastic mate👍✌️

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks James Always my pleasure to make these videos and get the community familiar with guys like Olly that do so much for the arcade community. See you soon

[@GASHPAN]

I always look forward to these arcade tour videos. So interesting to hear the stories and what people collect. Cheers Alex 👍

[@TheArcadeArchive]

My pleasure 😎👍

[@giddygoon73]

Hey Muddymusic, its Giddygoon or Johnny L from Jamma+, I bought some of your Outrun 2 artwork for my cab, top quility ... Nice to see on this channel... Ave it good mate ( :

[@francoisc6422]

Merci Alex super cool pour la vidéo 👍

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Merci Francois, glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@JeffYPbPr]

I love this channel. Thar is all

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thank you

[@aeiouxs]

What a great guy Olly is, and great to showcase his services and passion - I've done some of my own repro Arcade Art (being a fulltime Graphic Designer) and it's easily one of the most fun subject matters to work on! Olly is clearly a pro at what he does. Loved this tour Alex thank you!

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks Dan

[@magicknight8412]

Great video and an interesting chap. I have already fallen down a rabbit hole with arcade art shop thanks to this! Hoping someone is selling a marquee light frame or something.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks mate Are you making a marque light box ? Only I did show how to make one on one of my early videos if that helps

[@davidlefley7782]

so jealous of the Buggy Boy Jr cab, Leicester had some decent arcades in the 80s and I would live on Buggy Boy (3 screen and Jr), then go home when I was skint and play it on the ST. great days.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Haha me too I spent a lot of my pocket money on buggy boy bitd. Money well spent I think 😎👍

[@Bearcade]

Wonderful as usual :)

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thank you

[@worldsend69]

Love it

[@misterretrowolf1464]

Great video! I loved learning about how the scanning is done.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks mate

[@Pitbull0669]

Bloody hell mate if I knew you were going there. I would have to get that space Firebird marquee lol

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Oh yea I forgot He’s not far though just get him to send it to me

[@adamhinde9538]

Brilliant channel :-)

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thank you

[@gravitone]

Great video as always. Haven't played on a sega mega-tech since the mid 90's. Local chip shop used to have one sitting around for years. I'll drop by the cave if I'm ever in the Uk again.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks and look forward to seeing you

[@Pitbull0669]

BTW I LOVE SKY SKIPPER

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thanks mate It’s game that I always need to show people how to play it, which says a lot really as I don’t think kids got it bitd

[@ryanricardo]

👍🔥

[@atomiswave1971]

I have 2 Astro city cabinets, 1 of them has a screen that rolled at the top and then eventually went black. Is that a capacitor issue? Really interesting video.

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Sounds like it could need need capping but I could say mate

[@stephenelliott7071]

Alex getting into Out Run?...You'll be getting into Pacman next mate lol ;-)

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Haha never 😂

[@stephenelliott7071]

Haha maybe, but it's always good to troll you about it ;-) Coming around to car racing though. For me Outrun was a fantastic car racer as was Buggy Boy even though they were very different. Enduro Racer for bikes in the arcade would be my choice over Hang-on.

[@DaveRepairs]

So where the printroom then Olly?

[@muddymusic1]

Some kit is in the next room, the rest is in the warehouse about 20 mins away but didn't have time to go there too so stuck with what was to hand :)

[@PhillipEaton]

WHO dunnit...otherwise know as WHY playit 😀 Some other top draw pins, though 👍 LotR, great game, but take the drain posts out, else you'll be there all night 🕰 Overall cracking collection, thanks for the video! 🙂

[@TheArcadeArchive]

Thank you 😎👍
