WOW! This is AMAZING! You know when I was younger I thought I was so weird for being obsessed with arcade machines + claw games like I was the only person in the world. I have my own house now living by myself, and while I have about 7 or 8 different machines scattered throughout my house, it's NOTHING compared to this! Amazing! Makes me want to fill my house up with even more stuff now!!! :D

This guy's great. Emailed me back very generously and answered all of my questions. Can't wait to start collecting cabinets and creating my own Arcade.

Needs street fighter, pinball, some good scotch & some good yayo to be complete.

This is definitely a great flashback for me !

Wow, that's a huge basement. I love the bar in the middle too!

Truly awesome. I salute you!

Omg he has fix it felix jr 😲

Holy smokes. Just... wow. Very seldom do I envy folks their "stuff", but your Vintage Vault is simply staggering. How can one basement hold so much AWESOME? Well done. Kudos for all the work you've put into the games + the bar. I have begun repair / build work on my own first machines. Now I just need to find a massive basement too...

First awesome, Man Cave meets arcade in a era that can;t be meet anymore. Also amazing skill's fixing those arcade machines, just takes myself back seeing those all lit up in the vid on the tube. When i was younger you would dream about those pixel graphics and wonder where they would take you playing the game and think about the movie tron you had seen in the 80's, you wondered if they were all running around and giving them the last chance for there bytes. Thanks for the memories, I take my hat of to you Sir, I live in Brisvegas Australia but wish you were my neighbour.. Awesome :) :) :) :)

This would be like my personal natural habitat... this is a fucking paradise. Thanks for share this beautiful video.

simply amazing!!! great man cave

omg your arcade room is amazing! so awsome, thanks for sharing :)

Wish this guy was my friend. This is My absolute dream! Absolutely amazing!

That is one badass game room. WOW 😮

Really nice collection!

Wow! This is my 1980's dream room!

Absolutely amazing job! This is just fantastic. You have a talent for making that room a classy arcade that fits all genres. I have a large basement setup like a club. I play in bands. I am thinking of adding a few arcade machines. You have inspired me good sir!!!

wow thats so AMAZING! i own one multi arcade that has a lot of those games on it. i grew up in the 80s and lived at arcades just like yours. so fun. but i must say, there is something that feels a little Haunting about your arcade too. the games almost seem alive some how. i remember some of those games from 30 years ago. I'm telling you there alive. be careful.

Ansolutely amazing

Just like I said in the video I saw before viewing this one, this is the Man Cave of my dreams. In fact, when I get enough money, and a house with a basement, I'm going to make the contents of this video reality for me. This is one very wickedly kick-ass Man Cave. I can't wait to have one for myself.

Very nice, A true arcade. Well done. 😊🌟

Unreal arcade, this is my dream to have this. Cheers!

Great arcade! You have good taste in games, all of those are classics. I especially dig the Punch-Out! and Baby Pacman.

Absolutely incredible collection, the only machine you're missing is a Neo Geo 4 slot big red 😉

Man, if only I could have a room like this in my home.

That's not a game room that's a fucking DREAM room props man I really hope its all insured lol

WHY DOES THIS GIVE ME THE FEELS???????

amazing. so cool. really good fun games too.

This is SOOO Cool! It Must Have Taken A Long Time To Collect All Of That. It's Hard Enough For Me To Make My Own Arcade Cabinet.

I never knew fix it Felix was actually available I knew they had at Disneyland but know I want one! Awesome arcade you are living the dream and I hope you have awesome house insurance. May I suggest adding a sprinkler system in case of fire it would be a tragedy for all that to get lost

Holy cow you have good taste my friend. Well done!

Cool dude thx , love the coffee table by the way ....

awesome! that New Order song kicks it off the right way🙂🙂🙂

My collection would include Pac-man,Mrs.Pac-man. DK, Mario bro's, Mortal Kombat 2, Terminator 2 arcade, NFL Blitz, Area 51, a bar area, air hokey table, Black hole pinball & revenge from mars & a hot tub... Awesome work man, very good to see people's dreams come to reality!

If my wife ever got mad at me for something and tell me to sleep in the basement on the couch, I would do it in a heartbeat. If I had a basement like this, one game I would add is Dance Dance Revolution.

I wish I could afford the electric to run these let alone own them. Thank you for sharing your man cave :-D

I need this

If I had this my house,I'd never leave

PS great song choice for the presentation

Very Cool!!!

That is impressive.

AMAZING. Im jealous. I have the same barstools that you have at your bar lol. They scratch super easy from belts and wallets or back pocket buttons. and OMG you have Baby Pac-Man?! I rarely see that. My local arcade had it but idiots kept breaking it so they put it in storage. Such a cool game.

The Mario Bros arcade came before the NES version. It's slightly harder and missing the warps so no cheating :) After all, they were after your quarters.

Nice. The only thing I would do different is to take out some of those sit down driving games and put pinball machines there.

Actually, it does not use the web flash version or raspPI. Disney built about 50 of these and had the code custom written in Visual C++. They were used to promote the Wreck It Ralph movie upon release. Being that they built around 50 of these and no more, us collectors had to build our own cabs. This cab is running the original Disney written code.

I really miss arcades in the US... even shitty games were fun as hell to play there. I love all the external controls like aiming a gun or using a wheel + pedals + those levers. Console gaming is great today though arcades were just so much more social and fun with friends. Even those dancing games or fighting games were more fun in arcades. Nintendo has been trying to bring some of that back to homes with the wii and wii u but its just not the same. My top reason for why I want to frequently visit japan in the future as I hear theyre still huge in arcades. Im 19 btw so i come from a different time but man are arcades great.

@thebasementarcade

9 жыл бұрын

There was definitely a social aspect as well as the physical experience of an arcade atmosphere and unique/custom controls. There was also something about walking up and watching a complete stranger play a game with expertise, or having several individuals you never met before watch you play. For that moment you were your own superstar with an audience. I do miss it, which is why I've recreated the experience and have frequent game day events :)

i liked this video just for orgy being the band playing at first

This is very impressive. Hat's off to you, sir! I have to know, how in the world do you dissipate heat in that room? Didn't see many vents or ventilation down there. I had to install a whole new HVAC system in my basement just to cool off a home theater system entertaining a dozen people.

@thebasementarcade

9 жыл бұрын

stabgod Good question, and it did take me time to get things figured out. The basement is naturally cooler at least at my location which helps1. There are 3 small egress windows which can't be seen well but are located just above some of the arcade machines around the basement. In the cooler months and winter, when things warm up during an extended game day I open the egress windows and cool or cold air starts to pour in pretty quickly.2. I switched all lights from halogen to 100W CFL's so the lights don't cook everyone (It did with halogens for a few years). I chose 100W CFL's which put out 1500 lumens so it puts out just as much light as the halogens did.3. I do have 3 vents located in the arcade ceiling, they were tapped from the existing AC system. I found out it didn't push as much air as I had hoped. A few years back I upgraded the blower fan to the highest rating for my system. This allowed cold air to get pumped down there faster. I've never had a humidity issue or frozen coils which can happen by messing with the "formula" for fan ratings. A few times in 100 degree weather with 40 people down there, I had to close some upstairs vents which diverted more of the AC system pumping into the basement. That half of the house has a 3 ton unit, the other half of my house which doesn't have the arcade uses a 2.5 ton unit. Those units were already with the house, I didn't add any new ones.4. Finally, I found that the existing vents for the AC system in the whole house weren't efficient. Some of the cool air was being pumped into the subfloor. I fixed all leaks in the AC vents by using commercial aluminum foil tape.

Yes Just yes

WOW!

YURE SO LUCKY

It's the Man Cave of my dreams. With no wife, no kids and no college debts or credit debts, it can be done.

Love the arcade, great job! I have Rush the Rock and Sinistar too (sadly my Sinistar is a SF2 bootleg). I might want to sell or trade my California speed for a Sega Rally, but I do have a 2 seat Super GT, it's been the most flaky board set I own...

your house is the best cn i come over :)

I have to say, that little addition of the 2 person fast food seating near the bar/console area is top notch. So many awesome cabs! Although, no Killer Instinct cab --------------> GTFO :(

You need NBA JAM and the vintage TMNT arcade versions. I thought I had a cool setup in my mans cave w/a 42" flat screen/couch/xbox one...LOL! Absolutely awesome set up though.

I did see your other video. . Yeah it was nice to see it in action. You what brought me to this video? I was playing a retro arcade in virtual reality on the Oculus Rift.
