Gorf has always been my most favorite arcade game ever. I love the multi screens, the voice, simply a one of a kind.

Sharon Sandpiper A great "Multi-Game"...first time the concept was used!

I remember "GORF" makes a little cameo in the movie "Fast Times At Ridgemont High". It wasn't at the beginning where you see several arcade games during the opening credits. It was during a scene later the movie. I used to have a t-shirt that said "LONG LIVE GORF!" & it had the GORF character on it too. I wish I still had that shirt even though there is no way I could ever fit into it now. lol

Just picked up a Gorf cocktail table today. Hidden under a Donkey Kong cocktail, it hadn't been touched for about 20 years. Amazing game. Truly one of a kind.

I loved that game but my local arcade didn't have it. It was one of those games you'd find on the road, at a pizza joint or whatnot.

I fell in love with this game at my 10th? Birthday party at Chucky Cheese. The audio during the Laser Attack stage has burned into my memory 👍

Best game Eva.

Getting the kill shot on the flag ship was the best! :)

This video makes me sad, knowing one of these was lost when the roof of a long-closed bowling alley collapsed. Nobody knew the arcade cabinets they had in their little arcade were still there until that happened. The world a Gorf, a Track & Field, several pinball tables, a Pac-Man, and a Neo Geo. A Ms Pac-Man's internals were all that was salvaged.

Loved Gorf it was a very unique and stood out.

rarecoolitems And folks are looking for them again!

I had never played this game until recently at an arcade near Gettysburg PA called Timeline. The gameplay is fantastic and it's probably the sweetest looking cabinet I've ever seen! It screams early 80's! Looks very high end in person as well! I should be picking one up for myself on Friday to add to the collection, I can't wait

I mis this game so much. I got so good at it. My highest score was almost 500,000 and played it for almost 4 hours.

GORF is such a out-there machine, nice to play, being it has 4 different games in one, then the end game boss ship. A thing to note when playing a two player game.... you dont take the usual alternate turns like most arcade machines, you only alternate one to two player when completing one of the four games. so lets say you are on Astro battles as player 1, player 2 dones not get to play till player 1 completes the round, so player 1 could potentially loose all their lives before player 2 gets to have a go..

I've always wondered just what exactly the Gorf game is saying when it says something that sounds like "Slob leap solar", which can be heard at 9:34.

Best game ever!

Where you can get that rubber piece that goes right inside the control panel in order to stabilize the joystick? I played a couple of machines that did not have this piece, and the ship was impossible to keep steady in order to score well. Any help would be appreciated. Great video BTW. I liked it and enjoyed it immensely.

+TNT Amusements Inc That was a clever joke by referencing the movie Frogs with Gorf.

The last time I played a GORF machine was back in the late '90s. With the exception of the speech not working; the game was in great shape. Unfortunately, the game was in that arcade for only a week; as the CEO of the vending company that owned the arcade didn't want an "old game" sitting amongst the Street Fighters, Mortal Kombats, etc. "Long live GORF!"

Hi Todd and gang! Salisbury Dan here! Some nice new info I'm sure went in one ear and lodged somewhere! Although I long for my first Pin' it makes me glad I was a little late and am/ will be again soon, a PC guy. Always loved messing with them though and with pinball etc creeping into my hobby quite nicely (a lot of retroblah) I always get a nugget of information and a friendly face. Sometimes the friendly (apologies staff/Martha! ;) ) face is enough in itself. Stay happy Todd. Your work is FAR from redundant.... Will maybe be ACTUAL history one day!?

Actually, Gorf is called Gorf BECAUSE it is "frog" backwards. "Frog" was the nickname of Jay Fenton, the game's designer. He then justified calling it "Gorf" by making up a meaning for it: Galactic Orbital Robotic Force.

Yes it was! I played it on the C64. The one I had was on cartridge.

Not to be confused with the pinball machine by Taito known as Gork.

Love the video and I subscribed! I do have to point out, you said the Gorf Joystick was unique.. but actually it is the same as Tron, (a translucent Blue color), Satan's Hollow, (Red) and another game that escapes my memory right now that had a cute little Green Alien in the artwork. Gorf is one of my all time favorites. My full size Gorf was Severely damaged during shipping, (literally a fork lift poked a hole in the side and dislodged everything.. ). I do have a Cabaret Gorf but the sound cuts in and out. Also the connector for the sound is a bit burned. (I cleaned the contact but it still cuts in and out). I have had Circuit board traces crack on my computers. I bet that is the problem here. You said you Reflowed a lot of the traces.. COULD YOU PLEASE!!!!!! Do a video on reflowing circuit Board Traces??? I think I am good with soldering.. but.. I would really like to learn from a Pro. I am skilled in many, many things, (I am old, born in the early 60's and played ALL of the Original Coin Op games when they first came out). Hmm, just to clarify.. I did not play Computer Space when it came out .. that was a very rare machine that was only seen in the big cities.. But I do own one.... The Motherboard for monitor broke into many pieces during shipping .. It is most likely beyond repair. And the Monitor, (a magnavox tv), it not something you can find to replace. Maybe if I get good enough at Reflowing Traces on a circuit board.. I might be able to fix it and get some new Vacuum Tubes to get my Computer Space Online!
