State Of The Gameroom I Home Arcade I 01/22/23

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Very entertaining and fun to watch. Love your collection too. Thanks for posting this.

[@metaljustice4518]

Oh and same issue with Paperboy. Monitor needs dialing in and is always seemingly just a little off

[@jsenigaglia]

That could be caps, tube or fly back? It all depends on what’s going on with it?

[@byrnez2755]

Great video! Great collection. The ultimate family room. I bet your kids and their friends have made memories there that will last forever. Cheers!

[@jsenigaglia]

It really is a fun hobby :)

[@BigTea]

I’ve never seen a bar top that wraps around a couch like that before. Pretty ingenious, I’d love to have a setup like that.

[@jsenigaglia]

I had never seen/heard of them either. My wife was the one who introduced me to them, haha

[@thegerm574]

I loved playing Toobin in my local mall arcade. The arcade was called Just Fun. Would love to add one to my game room.

[@jsenigaglia]

Toobin is so fun and gets so much hate. I think part of the problem is the continuous free play and continues in a home setting. If you turn free play off and play for high score it’s great!

[@CUBANIDAD]

I was born in February of '82, and you have more cabinets than my local neighborhood Arcade that existed during the mid 80s and early 90s Miami Beach on 14th Street and Washington Ave. on the southwest corner, across the street from my Elementary school. (Location where they shot the cult classic movie "PORKY'S".) At that time the most popular games were Punch Out and Battle Axe, until the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cabinet was brought in. I played a lot of Galaga and 1942 because the big kids always hogged the best cabinets. That arcade closed down in 92 or 93 and I remember it very fondly. I wonder if anyone remembers that arcade? I would love to have my memories refreshed.

[@jsenigaglia]

I’m a CA kid, so I don’t know that arcade (and you just reminded me I’ve never seen Porkys all the way through) but I love hearing stories like this 🤙🏼

[@Cotivity]

Some real stand-outs in that collection, for sure!

[@jsenigaglia]

🤙🏼

[@papakiloperformance]

Awesome collection! Zoo Keeper, Toobin, Tapper, Food Fight, Paperboy and a Red Tent. S Tier arcade!

[@jsenigaglia]

My man 🙏🏼🤙🏼👊🏼

[@sdfa415]

It's a video game I played when I was in 1st or 2nd grade of elementary school, so I can't remember. After I got a bit older, I remember mainly playing ninja baseball, techmo world cup, metal slug, bloody loar, and penguin brother.

[@jonnyc1103]

Oh man I don’t remember ever seeing Out Run, but I spent all my money on Pole Position in a Safeway back in Jr. High in DC!

[@jsenigaglia]

I'd LOVE a Pole Position. Someday.

[@KimL1000]

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

[@jsenigaglia]

Thanks for watching!

[@dave6489]

Nice converted garage, plenty of arcades and nice sitting area. Awesome job man!

[@jsenigaglia]

Thanks Dave! 🍻

[@Drew791]

Very cool! Childhood memories come to life and preserved!

[@jsenigaglia]

🙏🏼🍻

[@dannysalinas8811]

Really cool collection! I just started collecting and my first was a deluxe after burner and now a Lethal Enforcers haha. Hopefully one day it will be as expansive as yours!

[@jsenigaglia]

I would love an Afterburner! I dropped a TON of quarters in that game as a kid. Enjoy the hobby!!

[@dannysalinas8811]

@@jsenigaglia I never could afford it when I was a kid at the arcade. now it's set to feeplay in my garage lol Unreal!

[@shawnlabroix6886]

Amazing review and great collection, JOW! However, Had you considered intro'ing this video with, "WE.. ARE .. IN .. THE.. GARAGE..!" A la, "The John Jacobsen" ??

[@GleNnPauldjNJ]

Aweosme setup Joe! Love the stories and walk thru. I don’t own any arcade games but huge fan.

[@jsenigaglia]

Its a fun hobby for sure, and very rewarding fixing things when they stop working :)

[@GleNnPauldjNJ]

@@jsenigaglia seems like a rewarding and prideful hobby and I am a pretty nostalgic person so it all Comes together.

[@vision821k4]

@@jsenigaglia I grew up with NBA JAM, but I def. think Hang Time is the better game. What do you think? * on a side note, i love how you spend more time showing the machine, a lot of people just pass over them so quickly. the candy machine adds to the room, don't get rid of it, invest in some candy and let it sit there forever! even if no1 eats it.

[@eyeswideshut7732]

some top machines, thank you for the walk around 👍

[@jsenigaglia]

Appreciate you watching!

[@tvtime1505]

Great collection, great room, nice to finally see the whole room. Fire up the arcade outsiders podcast

[@jsenigaglia]

Man, that would be fun.

[@tigheklory]

Great video Joe! Jenny and I watched the whole thing! It made me want to power on my games! Thanks for the mention!

[@jsenigaglia]

Haha you made it through the whole thing?! Awesome! 🍻

[@tigheklory]

@@jsenigaglia Yes, also you don't need to apologize for that video that it is long. The warning that it will be long was sufficient. ;-P

[@Star_cab]

Some arcade classics. You need a neo geo either the arcade or the home sys using arcade carts.

[@jsenigaglia]

I’d love a Neo Geo some day!

[@arthurok327]

Howdy ya'll, I really like your classic Arcade games, I grew up playing these games as they debuted back in the 80s, I've always wanted a real classic Arcade game, but I'm just a farmer, and have zero connections, to even find someone who will sell me a Classic Arcade game, I'm the only farmer that I'm aware of, that actually loves playing 80s Arcade games.. just wish I had half the connections you have my Friend, Thank you for sharing your footage of your Classic Arcade games, really enjoyed that, Peace

[@NoHypeBeerReviews]

Awesome video! I woud also just get a huge rug. Cheers!

[@jsenigaglia]

I think thats gonna be my best bet at this point, haha.

[@atariforever2002]

Sweet video Joe. Miss hearing you (and the guys) from a few years back talk arcade stuff. You need to do more vids!

[@jsenigaglia]

I really do. I’m the worst when it comes to arcade content 🤪

[@substylee3129]

Even if it wasn't working I am jealous of those Super Hang-On and Tapper prices. I picked up a Tapper pretty new condition for 2k and Super Hang-On always seems to go 4k+. 20k for the sit down cab which is bonkers to me

[@jsenigaglia]

Yeah, time and place is a big thing. I’ve been lucky on a lot of these games for sure.

[@tcktx]

this is incredible. super impressive!

[@jsenigaglia]

You need to come hang out! 🤙🏼

[@stevenoconnor5693]

Beautiful room and awesome you have a street fighter 2 arcade. Probably the most influential game u ever played. Met a lot of good people and friends over the years

[@capnarrr]

Glad you're still collecting, Jow. Nice to see an update on the arcade after all this time. I still have your old Taxi, its a staple and gets regular play. Ever getting back into pins? The space is looking close to full in there.

[@jsenigaglia]

Glad that Taxi is still getting the love it deserves! I was thinking about how I miss it a little while back. I need to add another pin someday :)

[@R3troZone]

Love the Zookeeper cab. One of my favorite obscure games that most people have never heard of. Used to play one at the corner store by my house as a kid.

[@jsenigaglia]

ZooKeeper would be the last to go if I ever got rid of these things. Love that game so much.

[@gertpacu3926]

My brother tried to go the same route but he pretty much spent his yearly budget on Gauntlet 2. This is the best 4 player game I have ever played. He has a lot of 1up games which are a bit smaller but it's fine by me.

[@weaselboyjenkins3931]

Awesome collection. I sold my Donkey Kong years ago and I’ve regretted ever since.

[@jsenigaglia]

I have so many regrets with games I’ve sold in this hobby! I miss my Warlords cocktail so bad. Championship Sprint and Marble Madness, too.

[@drewz4625]

Toobin is Awesome! Total score..especially for free. Nice collection

[@jsenigaglia]

Toobin is 🔥. And thanks for the kind words!

[@Jasons_Arcade_PLUS]

This is one of the most descriptive and entertaining arcade room reviews on YT! Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Cheers 🍻 Side note: If you ever get bored of your Paperboy, I know someone that could help take it off your hands 😂

[@jsenigaglia]

Haha appreciate you sir!

[@Jasons_Arcade_PLUS]

@@jsenigaglia Thank you! I should be good for a while. Just snagged a Centipede cabaret yesterday 👍

[@vintagerefresh]

Cool arcade and great game selection! I like how you just play the games and don’t worry about them being absolutely perfect. I’ll have to check out Food Fight - I’ve never played it before

[@jsenigaglia]

Oh man, Food Fight is SO fun! Lemme know what you think of it if you end up playing it 😎

[@AdamMontgomery1]

Looks great! I have to believe that this is the first time anyone has ever uttered the phrase "this is the second Toobin' I have owned." Don't get me wrong, I love Toobin', but not a lot of people can say that they got rid of a Toobin' and decided they had to have it again...

[@jsenigaglia]

Haha so much Toobin hate! 😬. I love the game, and I love the cabinet. I guess it makes it easy to have when you’re not tight on space ya know?

[@wd6358]

Pretty damn cool. I've always wanted to get into the hobby. The prices are outrageous so I just want a 50 in 1 Neo Geo cabinet or something like that for $500 or $600

[@jsenigaglia]

There was a time where deals were to be had ALL the time. Sadly, those days are gone now it seems. Your best bet is to find something that doesn't work and try and go from there :)

[@ukxvc]

Joe I've been binge listening again to the Arcade Outsiders podcast (third time round). I miss all you guys on the podcast and KZbin, it's so awesome to see you're still into the games and the garage is looking amazing bro.

[@jsenigaglia]

Yeah we’re still around playing these things!

[@TheBigExclusive]

Nice video. Wouldn't it make more sense to have the Golden Tee switch spots with Street Fighter? That way Player 1 for Street Fighter has more space and isn't pressed up against a machine.

[@jsenigaglia]

You’d probably get some more room if they were swapped, but it’s not much of a difference if we’re being honest. It feels comfortable playing SF where it’s at 🤙🏼

[@jacklick]

I have always loved your garage space. The couch tables, the games, the posters, a little fall football in the background. Enjoy playing working games & make them look better later, or don't :)

[@jsenigaglia]

Someday 😁

[@nashvillan4lif]

Regarding 720, 34k finally convinced me to put this game in the Grinkfest tournament in 2019 and am quite happy with how competitive it was as a tournament game.

[@jsenigaglia]

720 would be a great tourney game!

[@whompmaster]

18:23 No doubt it's the best 2-player game of all time as you can play as a team or against one another. Wonderful game! Also, a lot of people don't know but it's the first appearance of the Turtles, green pipes, Luigi in color, coins and the first time Mario and Luigi have super powers and can jump real high. Total classic game! If you have kids I would seriously think about playing 2-player games together and adding up your combined scores together and submitting them to TwinGalaxies. Just keep in mind that once one person loses their last man the game is over for the both of you. It's a team score.

[@jsenigaglia]

I didn't realize TG was still a thing, haha. I've been outta the game too long!

[@whompmaster]

@@jsenigaglia For me, what made the games so fun was trying to get to the next level in the game or score wise. Never thought I would do what I did to be honest.

[@aaronreid8375]

Red Tent is awesome, I love mine that I got amazingly restored by Andrew 34K. Been playing Goonies lately, but ExciteBike, SMB, and Dr Mario probably get the most play

[@jsenigaglia]

SMB/Dr Mario get the most play from me, too. The boys and their friends are super into RBI Baseball these days, haha.

[@takeru2702]

Great video! I love Game! !from japan

[@crashsystemcrashsystem8560]

[@jsenigaglia]

It all just depends on which games you’re wanting and the deals in your area these days.

[@aaronreid8375]

Good to see the game room again! I was so happy when I called DirecTV to cancel, after 20 years as a customer. I'm surprised they are still around, when AT&T bought them the prices starting going up and the offerings going down. Cincy is for real this year I think, maybe we'll get a Cincy vs SF rematch in the SB

[@jsenigaglia]

I was hoping for Cinci/SF, too :(

[@zork2001]

[@jsenigaglia]

No, not Gregg from Arcade Impossible. Speaking of, I miss his videos.

[@adrianplaythroughs3514]

Like the games Joe. I’m a collector as well, based out of Phoenix. What are your thoughts on the current state of the hobby. I feel like arcades have gotten tremendously expensive and everyone seems to be trying to “restore” games, but most of them are not true restores and look like trash underneath the new side art. Wondering your thoughts. And I miss Arcade Outsiders, Grinkfest, Brofest, etc….

I am still in shame....I've played DK since it first came out. A few weeks ago at Barcade in NYC I did not beat the first screen....ever. Ms Pacman fast I would destroy almost anyone to this day. My arcade dream is all pinball machines: The Black Night, Space Invaders, Gorgar. Oh, I actually did very well on Wizard of Wor the other day.

[@jsenigaglia]

I'd love some Pins but the prices of them these days are wild.

[@linsdudu]

I might be wrong but I believe your control panel of the Street Fighter cabinet is not stock! I think the original control panel is all metal and have these weird angles on the front.

[@jsenigaglia]

I think you’re thinking of the Z-Back style cabinets? I think the actual name is 3-KOAM? Google search that and double check if that’s what you were thinking of 😄

[@linsdudu]

@@jsenigaglia I found here, both the Z back and the straight back SFIICE had these metal control panels, but they are actually different cabinets than yours. It was the one I remember playing when I was a teenager!

Covid had to mess everything up and now the prices of everything are outrageous. I love arcades and pinball machines. Irritating that everything is 3x what it used to be. Gotta be a millionaire just to collect games anymore.

[@jsenigaglia]

Honestly, the boom of barcades in the last 10 years was the beginning of the end for decently priced stuff. Covid didn’t help though, you’re right. I’m hoping things start to get back to “normal” in this hobby at some point. It’s crazy.
