I might go there next weekend. Hopefully I can find some original paint

I have not been successful in locating one unfortunately.

That's for sure

Pretty cool for what it is!

Thanks, I saw it about 1 month before the Galloping Ghost trip. Nobody snagged it up so I made him an offer. It will look great next to my Silver Strike Bowling and Bags.

I'm aware of these exist but I have not done any research on them. I did get wind of a burger time being released in the next few months.

@@kazelasarcade Yeah! Looking forward to that. Got my pre-order in 😎

Thanks, I get lucky now and again

Yeah it was wild! But what a milestone!

I definitely need more practice. Congrats on getting third on the scorecard!

Definitely one you don't see everyday!

Yeah, I have never seen one

That's good to know! I would love for others to be able to play it too!

It's been an absolute joy to bond with him like this over the years!

He has done so many expansions already It is unbelievable! And he's not done to expanding. There's always plans to improve and make the arcade better in more ways than one. The high score list on top of each game is a must for a place like this! It's so cool to be able to compete with fellow gamers for bragging rights.

Yeah 12 hours is a big hike that's for sure! Thanks for watching!

@@glenjust630 we are located about 30 minutes north of Detroit Michigan. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for your nice comments and the timestamp for someone who really wants to skip ahead. My son was super excited to play the game and he was one of the first. He was the third person to step up and play it. I waited until the crowd thinned out and I played a bunch of consecutive games. Not easy let me tell you but super cool to play such a rare gem.

@@Michael_Knight823 search TH-cam for a show called Arcade Animals. It is very similar to starcade.

Thanks, same here! I finally decided to message him and he is a friend of the channel and gave me a superb deal. I've got some other projects I need to wrap up before I get to this one but it will happen.

The first thing I noticed was the lighting was not the same. At the time of filming I didn't know 100%, but I checked on it after the fact. You're definitely right about that

@@kazelasarcade More than that, the cabinets and control details are wood vs. the lighted cabinets and what appears to be plastic controllers. There's no buttons on the cabinets either (well, they're painted on instead of tactile.) I'm guessing the one you got was about $35 to $40. I saw what I believe would be the actual piece for about $300 on Etsy. At least, I hope it's the actual piece for that price. Either way I have to pass on it. I've just started building book nooks and $300 is beyond my range while the $40 one looks too cheap compared to the other options out there. I'm glad you posted this though. Saved me from buying the cheap one and being disappointed!

@AcidicHotwire paid $40 shipped for mine. For that price I'm not complaining. Definitely not worth 300

Glad to help

@@glanyan5462 I'll have to research that! Thanks for the tip!

@@kazelasarcade If you enjoy playing the game, it might be better if you don't know that trick. After my friends and I learned it (in the 1980s I think), it took some of the fun out of the game. Maybe look into later if the game, as is, becomes boring.

Yeah he really did a great job on it!

Yeah definitely a unique game for sure! This game came out on my birth year. I've never played it growing up. I only learned about it in the last few years. One just happened to pop up in my area so I had to have it!

Hey thanks! That's the kind of stuff I'm looking for now. I'm still looking for other common ones but mostly the rare ones catch my eye. All of the games you mentioned above will never leave the collection!

Yeah I don't think it was ever ported to anything. MAME really change the game and helped tremendously in this hobby. Route 16 is definitely much harder than Rally X. I enjoy both games very much though. Thanks for sharing your story!

Yeah that artwork is definitely unique! That bottom cut doesn't bother me so much anymore. It's not like you can find this game everywhere. So I'm going to keep it as original as possible.

Thank you! We appreciate it!

My phone had an electronic ringer installed from the factory. So what I did was I sourced an old rotary desk phone from the day and harvested the mechanical ringer. I put the mechanical ringer assembly inside the payphone and desoldered the electronic ringer that came with the conversion kit. I then soldered in the mechanical bell and now it sounds really good! Much better than that electronic type.

It's a fantastic game! Gets a ton of play over here. None of my friends ever heard of it before seeing mine. At least the ones that are not in the hobby 😂

Thanks for the kind words! Outrun by far was my number one favorite game in the day. There was an Outrun Deluxe near my house that I played all the time. Most of my coins went to that particular game. That same arcade had pole position also but to me in that day it was a quarter eater. I HATED it back then! But now I play it more than outrun and I love it!

@@kazelasarcade Oh I remember having to wait in line at the arcades to play OutRun, it was really that popular. Pole Position was a tricky game, yet I was really good at when I was a kid. Too bad it feels impossible to play in MAME. You really need a decent steering wheel to play that game in MAME because the steering is so incredibly sensitive with a controller.

That was where I first saw it myself!

Great idea 💡

Thank you!

Thanks, got them all working

I wish I knew how to advise you. I ended up selling my pi position and found someone who could repair my original board. I hope you get it figured out!

@@kazelasarcade I have a original board who fixed yours

@@nesfinds Ken House on the Face Book

I think after I sold all of the extra Ms. Pac-Man stuff it probably cost me about $700

I have not been to galloping ghost arcade yet I hope to go play there someday

@@bioshock6935 played on one of those when I was a kid. I wish I could find one I absolutely loved it

@@kazelasarcade Yes that's when i played them as a kid along with the star wars sit down as well i only went on the sit down version as i didn't like the people watching around me as it made me on edge and it gave me a much more immersion feel lol

@@bioshock6935 😂😂 same here I used to hate with people were watching

I never did get good at this game. I sold it to the local arcade where it's being enjoyed by a lot of people

I couldn't stand it. So I actually took a mechanical bell assembly out of an old rotary phone and soldered it into place. Sounds much better now!

Maybe the dip switch settings changed the tone?

I didn't have any keys either. I had to drill out the locks on the side of the unit once you do that there is a latching mechanism you have to lift up and then the cover should swing open

The intended way to play the game is to jump over the animals and try to collect as many points as possible while trying to keep them contained in the brick wall. You contain them in the brick wall by running along the wall patching it up with bricks. However when you let them all out and jump over as many as possible you get a lot more points. So when you get into the later levels you grab the net and that makes you able to put the animals back into the cage. While you are facing One direction the animals when they exit the cage will run the opposite way. The goal is to try to get them all to run the same way so it's easier to jump over a huge cluster of them to gain maximum points.

How are you playing the game? In an arcade cabinet or something like MAME?

Thank you I appreciate it! A lot of the decorations I've acquired from places like Facebook marketplace. Most if not all at great prices. I'm always scouring for the deals. They are out there you just have to be patient. As far as what I do for a living I'm a man of many hats.

It was loose, I did not have keys for it so I had to drill the locks. I had new locks put in since though
