We have local arcade and this home arcade is far better.

[@are3s_ok]

My God, I'm 15 years old and I'm from Argentina, my dad showed me all his favorite childhood games and I loved them, since then I started playing many retro games. My dream is to have a room like this and to enjoy with my dad all his childhood games and more

[@raceblakhart4941]

Are there any arcades in Argentina? Or do you only get to play the retro games online?

[@owengamer9926]

Omg u have the same dream I do I’m 14 tho good luck

[@lennybrewster4673]

Best of luck. Having ambition in addition to your goals gets you that much closer.

[@emilystafford7913]

Soon our games will become retro and oyu can do the same to your kids lol!

[@caiobpimenta990]

Now you are 20, hope you get to fulfill your dream soon!

[@zamz551]

Everybody’s thinking about their childhood dreams, I’m thinking about the electric bill

[@angrytheclown801]

Bah, if you only do this rarely with all of them on at the same time it's fine. Just turn on the ones you're about to play. Now, if he has them on all day, every day, that electrical bill is gonna hurt.

[@tsltyler]

@@angrytheclown801 They really don't take too much power. 5 machines only takes about 3-4 amps.

[@diongeorge3989]

I wonder how much everything in this arcade room came up to.🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@coldturkey5333]

Arcades don't actually take that much of power. Besides Im sure this guy got a fuse box where he got switches for the ones he wants running.

[@ChrisRoth1972]

I have never seen a home arcade like this.I felt by watching a tour of your arcade that I was transported to the 80’s or early 90’s at best! You have got the absolute best arcade games! You must never get bored at your house! Your Family & Friends must have a field day at your home! It’s so amazing!

I'm going to go drink a beer and watch this while i pretend it's mine

Absolutely insane! This is the best home arcade I've ever seen just amazing

[@tehbigshow]

I absolutely LOVE your arcade that you have. Have watched your 2017 video about a hundred times. Lol! Thank you for the new video! The "night" lighting scheme looks terrific.

[@donaldfielding209]

Very cool. I would chill there every night and have a bourbon and just chill with other cool peeps who get it. Well done sir. Blacklights Forever!

[@chronoxiong]

This is amazing. Really reminds me of how the arcade rooms used to look like when I was kid.

[@ixstalkerxi2606]

I want to do something like this in my garage, but I'm starting off with arcade1ups lol.

[@thebasementarcade]

I started off with just a couple in a garagecade. Nothing wrong with that, its your little slice of heaven.

[@smoothcasanova5082]

@@thebasementarcade That is the most positive response I have ever seen from a KZbinr with a home arcade like this (especially with you not bashing the arcade1ups). You just got an instant sub from me. I'm also doing the same with arcade1ups (have 8 already). But as soon as I get a home (currently live in an apartment/townhouse) I'm going to get some full size machines (mostly shooters and driving games). Thanks for sharing your collection, I can definitely see your passion in your awesome game room.

[@c0rupt3d43]

I’m doing an arcade place like this I’m already starting

[@MrPhaye123]

Arcade 1ups are trash they take away from the nostalgia of the original cabinets

[@MrPhaye123]

@the_bearded_schlub Exactly when i see people doing games rooms with those trash I automatically skip the video

[@Jasons_Arcade_PLUS]

I love that Commodore 64 shrine you built above the kitchen sink. Only thing missing is a light shining down on it :) Best overall arcade setup I've seen on the interweb. Hats off to you, sir.

[@WaveGazer]

I'm usually not the type of person who gets jealous...but this is not one of those usual times.

[@jenguyenebay]

Amazing and comprehensive collection you have there. And the Pièce de résistance, that oversized slot machine =). I can tell you spared no expense in all of the decorations that accompany a classic arcade. What a nostalgia trip. Growing up as a kid in St. Paul, Minnesota my friends and i would spend countless hours playing Mario Bros. at the dry cleaning place near my house, Centipede at K-Mart, and all of the other games, Donkey Kong, Time Pilot, Ms. Pac-Man, etc. at Showbiz Pizza Place. Then when we moved to california it was all about Gauntlet, Ikari Warriors, 1942, and SuperSprint. Classic gaming always puts a smile on my face and takes me back in time.

[@hyrule5975]

This, is the single coolest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s like a dream

[@levithefrenchspy6008]

I’ve had the idea of making an arcade in my basement for so long, I was looking at everyone else’s ideas for inspiration and this has got to be the coolest one YET. but expensive too!

[@stratsboneless6270]

its so cool but so expensive since each arcade cabinet can range from like 2k - 5k

[@Martin_chatwin]

@@stratsboneless6270 them ones with the motorcycle's can go up to 6k to 11k lol he def has a lot of money hell the basement in general is huge asf to be able to fit of them games and pool tables and air hockey tables has to be million plus house at least.

[@thomgizziz]

@@stratsboneless6270 Arcade cabs arent as expensive as you feel they are. A majority of them were probably bought for under a grand each and some of them would be 2 or 3 for a grand. Then some work has to be put into them but you are way over estimating arcade prices for all but the most popular arcade games... now pinball machines those usually start at 2k and go way up from there.

[@mrhoffame]

Awesome space!!! With all the cool stuff in that entire space it is amazing to me how it was that vintage Pepsi machine in the doorway that really made the vintage statement lol. Great stuff my friend!

[@Thatshorrorible]

Awesome room,. That's my dream room. So many classics in there and so many I remember playing myself in the arcade. I like the payphone touch.

[@xTheNameisEthan]

This is beyond my wildest dreams, if this isn't motivation for me to get a good job nothing is

Amazing Room and Man -Cave (so many classics in there), and yes we have all become our parents, I too was thinking about the electric bill. LOL....nighttime brings you back to the days of the Arcade Rooms in the mall........Great display as well. (Looking for a full time bartender for that bar?? LOL

[@punaforager]

That is so amazing, what an investment in fun and nostalgic feelings. Very cool. I found ms Pac-Man at a bar for $50, was sitting in my mothers laundry room for 15 years when a repairmen was there and saw it and wanted to ask if it was for sale. My mom gave it to him! For now, I’ll stick to the 1/4th and 1/6 scale versions. They aren’t as loud but still makes me happy.

[@jeanrane5015]

Neon lights everywhere. Love it!

Nice set up with the chairs and the old coke machine that's a real thought out on how they capture the arcade there way.

[@AirDOGGe]

In the 1960s I use to go to the arcade at Santa Cruz Boardwalk as a kid. No video games yet and the pinball machines were 5 and ten cents. Lots of mechanical arcade machines, some that looked 1000 years old. Many were fascinating. I can only assume these are all in collections now, as the arcade looked more conventional today. The first videogame that appeared there was COMPUTER SPACE in a red metalflake paint cabinet some time around 1970 or '71 I think. I was 11.

[@lothepro]

I've always wanted to collect coin operated machines but due to my budget I had to stick to 1up cabnets I WATCH YOU EVERY DAY at the point you're my daily schedule what I also like is the dedication from the shelves hiding stuff to the bar this place is so cool the first 5 seconds were cool to so sick seeing you're vids 😀 if this was a place people could come to I'd be on my way there no matter where it is good job! Someday do a 2022 or 2023 tour this place is awesome!

[@thebasementarcade]

Thank you for the kind words. The place hasn’t changed too much in the last 2 years but I’ll do another walk through sometime in the future.

[@djbowman332]

Unbelievable! So many childhood flashbacks! When I was kid back then I was a little too young to play them so I pretended that I was playing them. The man who owned the arcade room would give me those pink bubble gums that were wrapped in the orange and blue wrappers. They were so hard when you first bit into them you thought you were going to break your teeth. The taste was kind of chalky and didn't last long at all. They did make great bubbles though. :)

I have always loved the idea of having something commercial built into a section of a home. I think its from when I was a kid I remember visiting at my Uncles house his neighbor had two 50's style dinners in his basement with part of a street block road section divided them. Was both cool and creepy lol

[@BushyStallion]

That’s incredible 😮

[@noiselabproject9659]

fantastic arcade and good panning shots of the whole arcade too, most arcade tours are a bit frustrating and are so obsessed with zoomin straight into machines and yapping about them that they forget to pan around the whole place so that we can take in the general feel of it all

[@Reaperman4711]

Rush and Hydro thunder--that's living the dream right there! I miss living in a place with big basements, I'd have room for so much more stuff. Also, silly as it is, that pepsi machine on the way in really hits me square in the nostalgias.

[@OttonFilms]

Amazing gaming room! I recently started looking into filling my basement with arcade machines. Would be awesome if you made a guide on how to get into collecting. I know that ultimately money is the most important factor, but I'm willing to bet you were able to get some cabinets for a way better price than buying them off Ebay.

[@thebasementarcade]

Craigslist, local auctions, Facebook marketplace, word of mouth, join some Facebook collecting groups and KLOV forums and scan the for sale sections. When buying from non-collectors, never ask for more pictures, too many questions, etc. Just immediately leave to go pick it up. Someone else will be right behind you if its a deal so don't delay. In the end, you still have the right to refuse after you get there. I've walked away from a few. Unfortunately the internet, collectors and resellers have become very competitive in the last few years. Bargains still happen, but its becoming more rare.

[@tropicalbeach9225]

Dang that's a nice arcade! where is taito or neogeo arcade machines? Lol if I were you, I would never tell my neighbors about this or they will want to be partying every night!

[@zerohr8515]

I want to know how you get all of those down in the basement... disassemble or two man haul. My stairs has tight corners, I'd have to disassemble them

[@thebasementarcade]

When purchasing and planning my basement arcade, I bought a house with a walkout basement. The entry door is 36” wide, so most games roll right in. Only a handful of times I had to take the door off it’s hinge to get something in. With that easy entry, I pull my vehicle through the yard to the back of the house and unload right at the doorway.

[@zerohr8515]
