[@metaljustice4518]

Love that carpet too!

[@tntamusements]

[@DethHasArrived]

TNT Amusements Inc Does it?

[@Yoeddy1]

1:46 LOL! “There’s no such thing!”

[@silasratlief9424]

The sound of multiple arcade machines playing together is somehow so beautiful :D It brings back my childhood.

[@tntamusements]

:-)

[@wildernessgames]

Love the vids, so many treasures; glad to see them.

[@tntamusements]

Thank you!!

[@kennyjones8926]

Beautiful Home and Beautiful Games Todd. Why didn`t that guy take his backpack off, he was making ME watching uncomforable. LOL

[@tntamusements]

Maybe it was full of cash???? :-)

[@brentwatier]

Here I thought you had to carry all the games downstairs. Easy access with the door in the basement! Lots of great classics.You Practically have games bursting out the door at your warehouse😂

[@tntamusements]

Yes...When we picked out that house, basement access was important! I like to think of our warehouse as GAMES A GO-GO!

[@dvddmc]

awesome to see Joe Again. Missed seeing him

[@tntamusements]

Yes...Joe abandoned me!

[@dvddmc]

+TNT Amusements Inc see aww sorry to hear

[@ScottParisi]

Great video. So sad to see Class of 1812 dark in a room filled with legendary lights.

[@davidtheman0073]

Hi Todd 😊Anthony and family from Ireland hoping you're not serious about retiring. . I wanted to tell you I found an Atari badlands yesterday and I only paid 100 euros for it 😊 The guy's are delivering it tomorrow. Anyway this machine hasn't been plugged in for 15 years. Keep those videos coming 😊

[@tntamusements]

Not actually retiring...for many years...just raising some loot!

[@scottnason4905]

lol the guy remembering moving the pole position out of the basement, yeah I bet that was terrible. funny comment, made me chuckle. you would know if u have ever moved one of those

[@tntamusements]

A heavy mess!!

[@RetroGamePlayers]

What a great gameroom! Btw nobody ever emailed me back about those lithium battery boards for my pins. :( That's OK! I still left a thumbs up!

[@tntamusements]

You have to email us direct [e-mail]

[@RetroGamePlayers]

TNT Amusements Inc Yes sir, I did do that. Maybe it went to junk. I'll send another one later today.

[@7easton7]

NEVER seen a Hard Drivin like that. Pretty rare.

[@tntamusements]

There were a number of these "compact" Hard Drivin's made.

[@XCenturionX]

Great footage of the warehouse treasures...oh, a rare Daytona USA 2 spotted at 14:13. Looking forward to seeing all the rare games.

[@tntamusements]

Yes...that one is waiting for you!! More games coming!

[@cdcVintage]

I can't believe you have astro fighter in the small cabinet. I had the exact same thing. It was my very first piece of coin operated equipment I got when I was 12 or so. Maybe you have my old one? I was disappointed because it didn't have a coin mech in it and there was no internet.

[@tntamusements]

We actually had two...one we had sold years ago and I kept this one until last year.

[@markrothenberg6009]

Todd: you are torturing us with the tease at the beginning. Star Trek pls :-) Hope Pam and Linda are happy with the chocolates.

[@tntamusements]

Very Soon Mark...tomorrow in fact!

[@073731002]

[@thereasonforyou7048]

[@metaljustice4518]

Love that Pole Position 2! Still available?

[@tntamusements]

Long gone!

[@TheMrMaynard]

Todd Im just loving the Cabarets here. Though the Hard Drivin hit me hard. Quick story, I had a friend of mine who's parents were in charge of a Bowling alley. Her Mother worked upstairs in the bar, which up there they had a Galaga and a Race Drivin for play. Sadly only people over 21 could only go up there, but at 17 I got my first car which had a 5 speed. I walked up one day while she was working and saw the Race Drivin. I explained I needed to learn how to drive a 5 speed, which in conclusion she set the game to free play and brought sodas over to practice! I remember being there for a week straight practicing. Oh man, I wish that Hard Drivin didnt sell. I would've loved that Cabaret version. Hope it went to a great home!

[@tntamusements]

Yes...a great way to learn to drive stick! Yes...the man was very excited about it!

[@rarecoolitems]

How do you deal with pinball machines that have mold

[@tntamusements]

You first wash them out with clorox and hot water...and leave them outside in sun to dry. Then a second bath. That should take care of the mold...use gloves of course!

[@rarecoolitems]

+TNT Amusements Inc thank you Todd

[@SagePatrynXX]

3 thumbs down? hey thats the longest I've seen things in the warehouse. Gotta be in the mood to climb over games to see the ones in the back. as for Tammy. Makeup dept. !!! ;) (ahem oh thats right Guys have to wear it too in plays. I was in 4 Operetta's between 1987-1990. never can spell it but 14 yrs old playing injin Joe yikes) yes I managed to stick it on dvd long ago. Some I had lines but the one for Tom Sawyer was the one with the most. and yes I missed the first nights Makeup oops. :P so nervous I missed that part

[@SagePatrynXX]

I have this on youtube somewhere but it's a private link and only has the BTS section. I'd only send that to Todd if needed. early or late April 1990. Bit foggy on dates ;) I was hardly an actor :P

[@AerFixus]

I converted an almost completely destroyed Route 16 into a custom game for my senior project. I felt bad converting it, but it was going to hit a landfill if we didn't grab it and use it, plus it was the only cabinet available for purchase in our price range and in our area at the time. None of the electronics worked and nearly everything was destroyed in it. It took me three months to restore it before I could actually worry about converting it to our senior game. The bottom was literally falling off and I had to replace about a foot of wood before I got to solid MDF again. Every metal part was completely rusted and needed to be refinished. None of the electronics worked and there was even mold that had to be cleaned up. Most of the screws were rusted in place and if they came out, they took chunks of wood with them. How is the game anyway? Why have you decided to keep yours? Rarity? Sentimental value? Great gameplay? I'd love to know! P.S. Love the videos and I've spent way too much time watching them and going back into the archives to watch them as well. And if anyone is interested in the process or the finished product: Images of the restoration/conversion imgur.com/a/6EsLv Trailer for the game kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoO2d6Gfm711sJI

[@tntamusements]

Wow...what a project!! We have done repairs like that in the past...so its not a difficult project for us if necessary...especially if it was a keeper!

[@robertthenerd8617]

Your arcade basement is epic Todd, it's sad that you're selling your games :(

[@tntamusements]

Thanks...but we waqnt different games in the basement...so there will be common ones this go-round!

[@StilgarISCA]

Mike invite me over. I live in Lansing :) 1.5m to buy Todd out is a good deal if it includes that brand new roof.

[@tntamusements]

SOLD...Mike will have to buy them from YOU!

[@thereasonforyou7048]

READ THIS : THIS GUYS GOT TO OPEN A HUGE ARCADE BUILDING AND PUT TO WORK ALL THE ARCADES ! DON´T KEEP THEM FROZEN LIKE THAT ! AND ALWAYS KEEP THEM ORIGINAL 100% CLASSIC !!! IT WILL BE A HUGE CAPSULE OF TIME !!!

[@mrblond750]

Correct me if I'm wrong but that Hard Drivin compact is not rare. I have owned 3 in the last 2 years. It took two to make one. I have since sold them and there is another for sale on the CL in my area, Portland Or. Also the compact had a standard res monitor. What is rare is the HD side art of the compact. No one makes it, at least that I could find.

[@mrblond750]

And great video! Sorry to see your collection go.

[@tntamusements]

Yes...Mike misheard me...I said this was super rare as it had never seen any kind of commercial use...the paperwork is still stapled inside the like new machine that was kept covered in a garage since it was donated to this family and only used for three months. Pretty much every one you find will be pretty well worn out!

[@VGC-cc4xt]

Still have dat X-MEN ?P?Want it!

[@tntamusements]

I have another 6 player XMen available in my warehouse as is working for 2K.

[@Daniel-tf4wl]

What's that Pacman in the back? Is that a smaller version of baby pac man?

[@tntamusements]

That is one of the 5 prototype Baby Pacman machines made...designed to be sat at with a chair!

[@thedillestweed2644]

WOW! I had no idea you had a Mars! That's Amazing! There must not be that many Mars cabinets left! I really want that thing! Also Todd, If you want I can make a Polybius game for you to use in that cab if you want. I was working on one anyway. Let me know what you think! Thanks for the videos!

[@tntamusements]

Got a psuedo-Polybius now!!

[@thedillestweed2644]

Awesome!

[@davy_K]

Nothing like the atmosphere of an arcade with the lights down and all the machines making their noises. Sweet memories. Such a shame you have to sell some of these off.

[@tntamusements]

yes...but putting other games in their places though...that are not as rare!

[@davy_K]

TNT Amusements Inc good!

[@colinmoorhead3299]

Todd, your batteries are dead in your HUO funhouse and great collection

[@tntamusements]

no time to put in our new battery board!

[@melgibson202]

+TNT Amusements Inc Hire me. I'm no clodhopper. I hustle.

[@colinmoorhead3299]

[@merkurfan98]

You´ve got a HUO Funhouse. You are joking?! o.O

[@tntamusements]

Yes...its sold...guy making payments (it was 10K...hes up to 6K so far)

[@bobbyberetta4206]

Loved Wallace jamming out to the Stray Cats! Good stuff Todd.

[@tntamusements]

He loves all kinds of music!

[@chrisgardiner2215]

hey Todd do you ever regret selling ?

[@tntamusements]

Absolutely...since the prices went WAY uo since the sale! But I kept my favorites

[@wizpin]

Your basement looks like a closing arcade in the late 90s. :(

[@tntamusements]

We had so much fun over the years!

[@mhurst43]

Great video Todd - very well done! I can't wait to see the detail videos of each cabinet. The only thing that could have made the video better is if you would listen to your daughter's direction! Great stuff.

[@tntamusements]

Thanks Mark!! Your two games are coming in next video!

[@SzabosArcades]

Great Video Todd, I had a blast with you guys! Was really nice getting to see your collection and being able to play so many rare cool titles.

[@tntamusements]

Glad you had fun Joe!!! Gotta keep you happy, buddy!

[@Riz2336]

That's a very cool looking arcade you've got there. Too bad your selling off a bunch of them but ya need the money.

[@tntamusements]

Cash does talk!

[@tntamusements]

Thanks...cash does talk!

[@tntamusements]

Thanks...cash does talk!

[@projectpat006]

[@tntamusements]

Its $800...no picture...but you can hear the game playing

[@ItsGioShawn]

If there was a DDR machine in that basement, true heaven.

[@chrisstory563]
