Crazy in-depth tour of the soon to open Free Play Bar & Arcade in Worcester, MA. My friend Jay Leone is opening this place soon after this COVID BS is behind us. Tons of classic arcade games, everything from Atari, Nintendo, Gottlieb, Williams, SEGA, Taito, Capcom, Konami, and more! Tons of retro games and a really healthy pinball collection!

The heavens open and another episode of John's arcade descends upon us. How beautiful is this arcade, especially those neons paintings with the blacklights! I love the passion by these guys getting these older boards to work more proficiently with Tempest.
You should do a tour of your arcade since everything was moved around in new things came in and gone
I've been to the one in Providence, I absolutely recommend it to anyone who likes arcade bars!
Not surprised to hear Wisconsin, there is a Unicorn Super System in Appleton too with the adapter, they were running Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball.

Commando was definitely a Capcom game, but the arcade version was licensed for manufacture/distribution by Data East in the US.
Digging those little drink holder/dividers between the games.
It would take me 9 hours, but I think I have to go when it opens!
This place looks amazing. If I lived there I would spend my whole paycheck there.

Great Video! What A Great Place Jay!
I wish I had a free play bar here in South Dakota. These days I'm not interested in pumping quarters in to games. I just want to enjoy myself. GREAT PLACE!
love these long videos...thanks v much and glad you're back
John, you should do another tour of Jay’s basement. I’d love to see where his cabaret collection is at!
Good to see you got to the Worchester location, I loved the grotto feel it gave when I first went; as usual incredible lineup from Jay, his pins collection is epic in both locations. Im at Freeplay RI in Providence weekly; best arcade around!
Very awesome, thanks for these, I grew up in the 70's 80's and love video games and watching these videos takes me back. flashbacks bigtime! ps sorry he cant open i to am shut down first time in 40 some years:(

just know i wanted to leave a comment for almost every game lol;) these games were spread all over my area not really any arcades so it reminds me where each one was like Circus charlie and tron were at Rockey Glen Park(and many others) and Qix was at a little breakfast place all by itself, good times thanks!
Jay thought of everything. Wish i lived by this place when it opens.
Your return is a major highlight of 2020, thank you!
Good to have you back after your time out. This has been one of the best things in this aweful year soo far
I’m glad these videos are back! 👍👍
Great memories when you had to go out to the arcade to get great graphics and now we still go for fun but also nostalgia.
Thanks John for reading out my viewer mail and the shout out of my channel. Going to get on to that Polo soon, I've got a spare remote board which still loops but will take a look at the connectors on the other end to see if that is what is causing the issue.
Loving these videos. I'm finishing out of piece of my garage to have a dedicated space for my arcades and these make awesome background noise while working.
nice to see you again john, feels like my monday nights are complete again, awesome arcade jay, congrats and good luck
Man I forgot how much I miss watching these. Welcome back!
As a fan of floor tiles, floor boards and skirting boards this video is my jam. I'm glad you didn't distract me by looking up too much on those silly flashing machines.
I have missed these massive 2 hour+ videos. Welcome back.
Wow , this place is really awesome. I love those murals. I hope they are able to weather the storm and open up.
great video guys,thank you immensely for posting !! :)
I miss you John !! 🎉come back to KZread !
Wow! What an incredible video! I wish I lived close enough to make a trip to that arcade. It was REALLY done right!
It’s so weird seeing new videos from you. Glad you’re back!!
A truly epic video, and one hell of a beautiful arcade.
Back on the road again!!! Wahhoooo!!! Your arcade vids definitely make my day.
This place really reminds me of my childhood at the arcade. Dragon's Lair LaserDisc is out of service...😅
I'm so happy to watch new video from John ! At least someting good in 2020.
OMG Free Play is AMAZING!!
The northeast arcade community is awesome. That super sprint I saw some earlier progress pics of it and the cabinet it was modeled off of. Now I know it’s Worcester, so cool! Good luck with your opening and thanks for sharing your collections with the community!
so happy you're back John
Welcome back, John. It has been a pleasure watching your new videos.
"oh wow you got the original 6 men x-player"
So good to have you back John
OMG if I would live in that area, I would be there every day, it's absolutely amazing. Incredible to think that such places still open, while most arcade have closed otherwise..
Great to see ya back!
What a great space. Time to open up. Please keep us up to date on the opening.
Awww yeah!!!! Thanks John!!!
Glad you're back love your videos
Wow it's good to see him back!
Great looking bar arcade!
You should do a live show like this, wow, especially the details. Nice to see the big boys play.
My neck of the woods. Haven't been to this spot yet. I will be there when it's open!
I remember playing Gauntlet Dark Legacy at Ground Kontrol, loved it!
Love this video brings back memories thanks
What an awesome arcade! Stunning.
Used to go to leisureland in Edinburgh. Dodgy street fighters and smoking cigs whilst playing gang busters. Height of summer in a dark smoky arcade. Amazing.
Let's keep all videos light ..... Its BEYOND awesome ur back 🙏🙏🙏🙏
So glad you're back!
Glad to see you back John. Arcade 4 life!!!
Thank you. My childhood. Do more!
So glad you’re back 🥲
Amazing! I feel bad for Jay...I'm sure he is hemoriging money right now not being open. This place is ABSOLUTE! Very well done! I had no idea U and Jay had thid many cabs between the 2 of U! This is a Dream of mine to have a joint like this to open my area. Much respect! I just bought a Sweet X-Arcade Cabinet last Sunday with the Original Wells Gardner Monitor in it! I'm using one of my Newer Xbox Mods in it with Coinops 8 Massive & Ninja Massive with in total over 30,000 Arcade & Console System Games on its New 1TB Hard Drive! It came with the X-Arcade Tank Stick with Trackball, but it only had the PlayStation 2 & PC adapters with it. I still have to get the OG Xbox & PS3 adapter off there site. Once that happens will be Rock'n! I have a ton of PS2 Compilation Disc I'm using for now: Midway Arcade Classics, TAITO LEGENDS 1 & 2, ATARI Anthology, SNK Arcade Vol1, Namco Museum, Gradius 3&4, RAIDEN 3, Capcom Classics 1&2, R-Type Final, and many more...glad your back!
Oh hell yeah another Arcade Tour!!
I would spend every weekend night in that place. Even though I have those games at home.
wow you filled up my whole 3 hour drive today! thanks for the long video and keeping me company =) dkshawn
Hey John, Coming soon in my home town a new arcade will be opening. I do not know when it will open being they still have lots of work to do preparing the pinball and video games. The name of the place is "Past Times Arcade". You can find their channel here on KZread.
Glad to see you again.
2:07:52. It's Capcom. Fantastic looking arcade! I'd play everything in there. Wish you luck with this new site! Very, very cool. Also, thanks John for a another entertaining and thought provoking video!!
These were some of the best
Looks awesome! Can’t wait to check it out. That’s a solid lineup to be a NEPL spot to
lots of favorite games in this video
Tell Jay to finish that Street Fighter II Dash big blue all he needs is the Champion Edition control overlay and side art why stop half way. SFII Champion Edition is the first Capcom big blue and is pretty rare. What's funny also is that you went from SF to Moon Patrol, the creator of Street Fighter is Takashi Nishiyama and his first game was Moon Patrol he also created Kung Fu Master. So "Moon Patrol" "Kung Fu Master" & "Street Fighter" were all done by the same guy! Also Goonies never came out in the USA as a NES cart only in Japan as a famicom cart. The only USA version's are the playchoice cart and VS board. The playchoice version is the original famicom version of the game. Love the channel keep it up.
Damn very impressive place! Definitely going to check out Free Play once they open up
Amazing arcade! I’d love to visit one day.
Nice video thanks for your time nice to see you again hope you are doing well 👍👍
Capcom did Commando! It reminds me of a early version of MERCS. Classic! Very tough...

Haha, the American Massachussets Worcester and Shrewsbury are even closer together (7 miles) than the English West Midlands region Worcester and Shrewsbury (50 miles)!
They also made a Suntory Tapper as well. Suntory is a Japanese beer so most likely was only found over in Japan
Tons of Barcades/eSports bars began building in the middle of last year in Massachusetts, Worcester has 3 or 4 alone. All of them with no clue what was to come with Covid-19. It really sucks. This place looks like the best out of all the ones that have popped up here, definitely gotta check this out once things are normal again.
Keep the tour going !
Awesome video John!
I wish that arcade was near to me I would live there
When u open,i will bring lots of friends and help keep your dream going,love the arcade🤘🤘

Gaplus is Galaga 3 because Galaga is the second in the trilogy: Galaxian, Galaga, Gaplus. I forget where I heard this, because I've never seen or played Gaplus.

Yep, you're right William. I have seen and played Galaga 2 many years ago. It was more of a hack of Galaga. It was also known as Galaga 84. The layout was the same as Galaga except some bugs( Galagas) were changed and your ship was different.
John, ask Jay where he got those mini white/black drink tables that are in between some of his games. Awesome video!!!!

Hey Guys, we're in the arcade. Great video guys, we'll see ya in Wistaa' before ya know it. Best of luck Benny 😊 and you never know when That Tim guy going show up🤣🤣
Someone beat you to the Talladega Nights backglass idea. I saw one at Pinfest last year. Super cool. Made me want to actually play the Nascar pin :D
Jay seems like a legit guy. Awesome arcade :)
Wow nice to see you back again sir 👍
Just went here..great place. Adams family was gone. Medieval madness was down. But had alot of fun. And FYI but you and Jay probably already know...the CA museum of pinball is going to be auctioning their games and pins. Just so you know👍. (Tell Jay to get earthshaker) lol
Awesome arcade 👍
You gotta check out Free Play in the Dallas Fort Worth Texas area. They have 4 locations, and if the two I've been to are indication, and they are, it's a must visit if you're ever Texas bound.
Quick tip from an arcade vendor for your friend on black cabs like the simpsons front,Take a black sharpie and fill in the chipped areas with the marker
