Retro Arcade Games in Basement Arcade | Sanctuary | Zillow

[@paralentor]

While others have amazing arcades in their homes you actually opened it up to some kids who had no concept of what a real arcade was like. Not the redemption machines but 80's/90's classics. Well Done.

[@SzabosArcades]

Very very impressive man you should be very proud love your setup!!

Arcade heaven!

[@bradunderwood5684]

This is awesome!! I'm 52. Seeing your Arcade gives me goosebumps and great memories!! And you're awesome for letting people come there!!

[@justinbustin677]

I love it, keep it up, keep showing land of excess. People will wise up which will create a rise up.

[@jettagliturbo]

Mr. Wagner seems like a beautiful person inside and out. What a beautiful story this is, I Love it 🙏❤😎🎉

[@bradleez]

We must share the same brain. My childhood was going to arcades and playing these games. I'm also a huge Back to the Future fan and Star Wars fan. My favorite arcade game was Dragon's Lair. It was the reason I pursued animation as a career. Now I'm an Emmy Award Winning Animator and still wish I could go back in time like Marty Mcfly and relive those awesome days in the 80s. Great job, Jeremy!

[@wiredtvcraze]

The perfect arcade. I admire your willingness to share with others. The ability to fix your own games is huge to say the least.

[@PlisskensRun]

I'd love to have something like this... I'd be happy just walking in and closing my eyes and just listen..... And enjoy my flash back.........

[@amarpalsahota6727]

I love your home basement Arcade it's like going back in time and I really miss those great memories growing up in the 1980s and 90s going to the Arcades and I always love wearing leather coats because I love the 80s it will never die. I love your video am going to subscribe to your channel I was a star wars. Transformers kid I loved growing up in the 80s and 90s and like I said I always used to go out to the Arcade's. And am going to subscribe to your channel.

[@daytradingzoo]

Stepping in that room will make you feel like you're ten years old again. Love it

[@Leg-xx5md]

Awesome Arcade Jeremy!! What is more Awesome, is the memories you are giving the kids that get to play in your arcade. They will hold onto that experience forever.

Buddy you rock!! To know that you had the kids come over....from day camp....was super cool......please keep the dream alive.

[@TJ_Actual1]

This guy has the best home arcade hands down! Been watching his videos for years now.

[@nicsamazingpinballchannel7688]

Well done, Jeremy! The arcades of yesterday have moved to the basements of suburbia today. I've visited dozens of spaces like yours and behind every one of them is a dedicated arcade kid at heart. Share the joy, keep the games running, and enjoy the ride. It's the best combination of what makes life worthwhile. Game on!

[@residentevilumbrella2001]

You're living the dream.

[@mlk4life]

all about the nostalgia. i can recall every game in my gameroom from my childhood... specific times in my life.

[@noecazares2144]

i remember watching Tron 2 the part where the arcade is turned on after being off for so long...then they are playing Journey..that was nostalgia for us eighties ppl. This here reminds me of that although I was a kid in the eighties I remember the malls and the arcades..What a better time it was..things where more peaceful back then as a kid.

[@darthowen]

I wish I was alive for that. Just went to an arcade yesterday very fun

[@ds-nb4ln]

Nice Video clip! Apologies for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Zeyames Wonliver Breakthrough (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a great one of a kind product for playing classic games minus the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my best friend Jordan after many years got excellent success with it.

[@falconator3419]

Congratulations. Not just for your amazing home arcade room but for the good you do for your community with it.

[@leewainwright3526]

when you have a certain passion for something the vision becomes clear fantastic arcade room

[@pac1la]

Congratulations Jeremy, that is a dream come true, and the fact you share it with others makes you a pretty awesome person!

[@Starmanbike]

I know you are proud and I agree, nothing like seeing the faces on the kids. Our generation lived for a few hours in an arcade and a roll of quarters. You can have all the games on one machine now with a chip or great home systems, but nothing will match the feeling of walking into a good arcade, my heart would skip a beat every time I powered up the fuse box at your place.

[@AlbertoGonzalez-hi1og]

I was born in 1979 and it basement arcade just made me smile

[@leem4171]

Thank you Jeremy! This brought back many joyful memories of my childhood! Especially the GORF machine! Wow!

[@The50x50]

You just brought me back to my childhood.. Your arcade is amazing.

[@DAGODER]

Sweeet! God bless you man. I am gathering all the parts to build a RETROPIE BARTOP CONSOLE Star Wars Theme with my son. Awesome room, thanks for sharing. Cool that you share it with kids. I grew in the 80's playing video games

[@Koos431]

Well Mr. Wagner....you're certainly a gentleman & a scholar...continued success in your future endeavors of selflessness

[@gjtt]

That could be the best usage of basement space I've ever seen!

[@pennymccullough619]

I like what you said about opening your arcade free of charge. I guess it's the same reason that I pet sit for a minimal cost. I watch animals because I love them, but I do so with a small fee to offset business expenses. I travel to others' homes in my city to watch their cats/ dogs. After a time, their pets feel like my own, and I love them just the same. Nice video about your passion, Jeremy.

[@knelson1180]

I come back to this channel every once in a while to watch this video. Such an amazing space. Wonderful job!

[@thebasementarcade]

There are more arcade videos on the basement arcade official channel at kzbin.info

[@venusvontrappe6007]

This is such a beautiful and nostalgic space that you have created. It made me tear up. I want to create a space like this for me and my family but money is tight. This has really inspired me. I am going to start brainstorming how I can make this a reality!

[@Zillow]

Don't give up that dream! You never know what the future may bring.

[@apap7170]

I know that's living. It is a blessing; what we had in the 80s can now had at home. Kids these days will never experience what we did during those days. In New York we had Playland Times square and one on Staten Island by South Beach both are gone now.

[@Cybo-Man]

Wonderful. This guy manages find every one of my absolute favorites. Spy Hunter, Star Wars, Tron. My Man Cave is finally becoming a sanctuary. I'm unable to afford or fit as many full size cabinets as I would like, so I've purchased three 1up Arcade machines. Turning these on and hearing the attract screens over each other immediately brings me back of my childhood.

[@skottyo]

Memory lane right in your basement!! Awesome man!!

[@epcotman32]

this is a true dream of mine to make a home arcade with vintage arcade games, of course my electric bill would skyrocket.

[@MrJimbofox]

Common misconception. Arcade games don't really draw that many amps at all. Average of 2-3 amps per cabinet. I own 28 games and my electric bill has barely changed.

[@thebasementarcade]

1.5 amps for most classics. I put a kill-a-watt meter on them.

[@OsakaOutlaw]

28 machines? How much do they usually cost? 10,000?

[@thebasementarcade]

I buy them broken and fix them, but most of the popular titles these days sell in the $1000 price range.

[@OsakaOutlaw]

Ohhh okay expensive, but not as bad as I thought!

[@dicewolfgangvonfrankenstei7914]

So so Rad! Man! Beautiful childhood memories. Looks so beautiful

[@mamearcadeartworkproject4166]

This place looks beyond awesome. Still can't believe that it was only really my generation that truly got to experience arcades properly. Should be a mandatory experience for everyone growing up, lol

[@greenlantern1123]

Amazing how a basement can travel back in time . Awesome 👏🏻

[@spellbindah]

I started out this dream about six months ago when the pandemic started every month I've dedicated myself to buying a new arcade game I live in a small apartment but pretty soon it will be no place to sit you are also one of my Inspirations for my dedication and my new hobby thank you for giving me something else to waste my money on LOL

[@drubber007]

This was always a dream as a kid to have a room full of arcade machines. Must haves for me would be Operation Wolf, Afterburner, Double Dragon & Mortal Kombat.

[@laurajohnson4086]

Excellent! I love Defender, Mr. Pac Man, Star Wars, Asteroids, Galaxian, Phoenix.

[@GTV-Japan]

I saw that some people were watching videos of mine and yours at the same time in any,it is do I thought I'd check it out. Very cool stuff and I love this video. I'm glad to find it, it's a dream of mine too, but you live it

[@ericmiller3708]

Another great video for all of us "young at heart" folks! Very awesome!

[@danc1197]

Its like finding a time machine and travelling back to the 80's. Great teenage memories.

[@BaconFire]

Pretty cool you actually open this up for others to come and enjoy. God bless you.

[@camarykaren]

Living the dream man. Enjoy that impressive set up. I would love to have something like that in my next house. Its truly anazing .

[@aandc2005]

I would kill to have a arcade room similar someday!

[@croz23ity30]

Thats awesome, Mr. Jeremy Wagner all the best to you!

[@lateapex9420]

I grew up with Ghost & Goblins, Double Dragon, Outrun, Operation Wolf, and Afterburner etc. Mid 80's to mid 90s. Just walking past an arcade, of which there aren't many nowadays, takes me right back to those old days.

[@c.a.1929]

Your living the dream Jeremy! And you know how to share. Good for you buddy!

[@robertnesy7850]

super cool room. You and I grew up liking the same games. Kudos to you for living out the dream of buying all of them. This is my dream as well.

[@barryklinedinst6233]

Thats cool you are keeping all those great machines working

[@netteofthetaureans]

awww man, Ms Pacman was my game. I could flip it several times with one quarter. I loved Centipede also.

[@NaturalGallantBodybuilding]

Looks great! Perfect hangout for you and your friends

[@Htcuban4]

Great collection , thanks for sharing with the world.

[@MrGrus11]

My dream is to one day have a big enough collection to be able to open an arcade pub / café where people could come in and enjoy a beer while playing games. I've always found arcade games to be some of the greatest fun playing video games i've ever had and i wish for their return in modern time.

[@Chadman333]

They have a few locations in Ohio called 16-bit Bar + Arcade. I have not been to one yet, but looking forward to getting there soon. These are like you described.

[@kndoperative3277]

Im watching this in 2018 and i still play arcade games like the old days not like what other kids play, i say that an arcade game is more complicated or more funnier than an Xbox one or playstation 4 or bath combined maybe. When i grow to be an adult i want to also collect arcade games that my family and friends can play and come over. This is a really cool arcade love it.

[@richardrosa4826]

Man I love it. You're truly blessed but I know you worked hard to put that together. That's so awesome!!

[@me-cq7wv]

Some wonderful memories in your arcade.

[@supersimon22]

Wow! Just wow! What a place!

[@DriverGuy23]

Amazing, thanks for the inspiration. I just got a classic cocktail arcade machine & I feel like a kid again. Hope to one day make one of my rooms into a small arcade. Keep’s us young.

Good on you my friend for the great things you are doing, great doc.

[@BackToThe_80s]

This is the single coolest thing I’ve seen

[@MasonGamache]

when i grow up, i want to turn my garage into an arcade so the neighborhood kids and friends can play in it with me, i love arcades, and this is literally my dream :D

[@ArcadeDude44]

What an amazing space you have there, Jeremy! You are a true inspiration for collectors such as myself. My arcade/pin collection has taken over my 2 car garage, but I may eventually be moving to Southaven, MS later in the year. If this comes to be, I will have much more space available (but sadly, still no basement) and will come closer to living my dream! :) Thank you for the awesome videos.

[@bryanmonson5408]

"Thou shall not covet." just got thrown out the window for me.

[@yolandimare1]

Yeah. As a christian is so so hard to not want all the wonderful things that life has to offer. Beautiful electric guitars and cool video games. I also want to collect 80's and 90's barbie dolls, which are magical. I want a nerd cave for cool band stuff, guitars on the wall and video game nerd stuff. Lol

[@gamebro5991]

Just remember that the Lord will give us even better stuff. Perhaps heaven has a massive arcade of bible games 😂
