The Greatest Arcade Games of All Time - The Games that Shaped Us - Vol. 1

[@TheDenofGeek]

Shuttles Arcade was the "seedy" arcade in Kamloops BC. There was a sign that said no one under 16 allowed during school hours, it never worked. It was dark save for the screens, some red neon lights around the ceiling and a cheap Tiffany style lamp over a pool table. It was an awesome place. Rampage is one of my favorites simply because it was so much fun to just destroy stuff. Shuttles had Willow on the arcade, and the laser disc based dragon's lair, space ace and of course time traveller. Arcades shaped us as gamers and people. I made so many friends in those dark rooms hunched over a joystick with a pocket full of quarters

I really enjoy the arcades it brings back the memories when I was young going to Brookfield Illinois Galloping ghosts with having about 800 or 900 games and a pinball arcade as well

[@dalesanteford7432]

Play memory going to the bowling alley with my brothers mother and grandfather to bowl but I was really into playing Captain America and the Avengers the arcade game that was at the bowling alley and also going to the pizza place in town and playing the arcade be like Ninja Turtles or King the monsters

Arcades would come and go in my hometown of Ottawa. My favorite was Fire Button near Elmvale Mall. Double Dragon, Final Fight and yes the first Street Fighter game were all conquered there. It's now a Subway but the Quickie is still there. Ketchup Chips eh? 🍟

[@JayBartlett1975]

Love it dude! Thank you for the memories

[@gbpackers5578]

Loved this video Jay, really well done!! ❤🔥😎

[@JayBartlett1975]

Thank you bro! Was fun to make! The most work I've put into one single video for sure

[@destrosdesk]

Outstanding video Jay! I did not experience arcades when I was kid. Seeing these examples of a glorious time in the 80s and 90s makes me wish I could get in the time machine and go back to experience it all. Even though I don't get a lot of time to play video games these days, your video game videos inspire me to fire up an old console and escape today's world to a magical time that was nothing but joy!

[@JayBartlett1975]

THanks dude! This video I put alot into I'm glad it could take you back for a bit. Cheeeeers!

I also remember WIllow being hard to find and only ever saw it at this sketchy convenient store by a friend's house. I loved it. and at the time remember thinking it reminded me a bit of Cadash. Who knows if that's true? I like this video and hope it becomes a new series.

[@JayBartlett1975]

Thank you JT. Interesting that you too found it to be rare. Capcom must not have sold a ton of units I'm guessing

[@stevepalomarez8132]

That was a trip down memory lane. Played every one of those except for that Lucky & wild one. My personal favorite is the Xmen, Simpsons and Turtles games. Loved them.

[@JayBartlett1975]

Thanks fro sharing Steve! I'm glad you liekd it mate and yes those three Konami Arcade games are all perfect

[@808v1]
