SHH! here's my super secret other channel where I put my other videos / @riggsreviews - เกม
I also checked out Game Terminal in Nashville. LOVE that one. th-cam.com/video/1fYRemUV8B4/w-d-xo.html
Man it's too bad you aren't near Indiana. Next month there's gonna be a con setup as a celebration of Jerry The King Lawler and Memphis wrestling. With a crap ton of great wrestlers there. The Steiners, the Hardys, Ricky Morton, Jimmy valient, Ron Simmons, so many I can't even name all. Plus they're gonna roast Lawler. 😂
Game Terminal is more like an arcade cabinet collection, just the cabinets. None of the games seemed to be running on original hardware/CRT monitors. It was all emulators(PC?) hooked up to LED TV's.
$22 for admission and the games are freeplay? Look at this place! It's a dream come true!
totally worth it!
"I'm so happy there are arcade places like this. Arcades were a big part of my childhood, and I wish the best for this place. Let's keep arcade fun alive!"
My best friend lives in Hillsboro. Every time I visit this is the first place I want to go and spend all day. We're 50 now and lifer gamers and this is truly an awesome place.
Holy shit, John! Thank you for shining light on this place! I'm a huge retro game fan and have lived in Portland for 15 + years and have NEVER heard of this place! I'll be checking this out asap. Game on man!
I've heard of it as a 'after PRGE we should go here' but after PRGE I usually just drive straight home. Glad I had time to check it out. Will definitely be back.
Seriously! The closest I’d do was like Ground Kontrol or QuarterWorld. Both are nice but this looks so big and it’s all ages.
It is amazing. I checked the place out finally after living in the area for years. It is much bigger in person.
" we got a casting couch ".... Best casual sentence ive heard on all of TH-cam all year. Lol
they have a black tiger cabinet! (easily my all time favorite arcade out of capcom's early days) and I had heard about the row of converted moppet cabs, one with SF2... so bizarre! definitely wish I lived in portland I would certainly be trying to frequent that place as much as possible!
Place looks sick. I love the decor and cleanliness. Real bummer seeing all the widescreen lcd mods though. That always makes me sad
Original CRTs are hard to get and stupid expensive. We're going to reach a point in the very near future when there are none left. The LCD solution is the way to go in the long run.
That 4 player area is beautiful 🥲
OMG that's sooo awesome!
Arcade time with John Riggs
I love the relationship you have with your kids.
I have to visit this place someday in my lifetime!
I don't know if I could handle that place....nostalgia overload! Too much to take it all in at one visit. Looks Legendary.
I hope more places like this open in the future.
Oh man, that place looks awesome!
Nice to see Leo again
That looks like so much fun 🤤
Xybots. I still have fond memories of it. This arcade is amazing. Thank you Mr. Riggs.
If ever a video was 'John in a sweetshop', this is it!
As a kid I would have entered this arcade and never been seen again.
NGL, I love Arcades; even with MAME at home, it still doesn't hit the same without playing them from the cabinet. Great video as always!
Any business with Tom Servo show on its exterior is bound to be an exceptional one.
did ya see crime fighters in that place ? that one wasa favorite of mine back in the day well one of em anyways
I did. They had Vendetta which is the sequel, though. I'm sure they have a warehouse they swap games out at times, too. They had a few games in a corner that were under repair so I wouldn't doubt it if they had a stash of other games, too.
@@JohnRiggs yeah i knew it was the sequel i never played it though just crime fighters looked like a cool place
If you ever come to Illinois be sure to check out Galloping Ghost in Brookfield. They now have two facilities, one just for pinball and one for arcade games.
I didn't know about this place. Thanks John. I live in Salem Or, I'm going.
Outstandingly awesome arcade! If I went in there I would think I died and went to heaven lol!🤣 Thanks for sharing your adventures at this arcade John!👉🙂👈
really fun place! biggest arcade on the west coast!!
Wow, free play is great,cool place !
Discovered that place last year while visiting friends. Fantastic!
Well i know where my next road trip is going to be. Thanks for sharing this place John.
This looks awesome!!!
Gotta check this out. I live in Portland and never heard of this place
Samurai shadows 2 !!! 3:16
This place RULES.
That place is nirvana. 💜
Wow. This is amazing. Definitely need to hit this place next time I'm in Hillsboro.
GI Joe, Sunset Riders, Turtles in Time, and WWF WrestleFest dedicated cabs. Beautiful to see. Even Galloping Ghost doesn't have dedicated cabinets for these.
Sounds and looks awesome. I might have to make a point to go there soon. Great video!
Bout spit my drink out when you said "casting couch". Never though I would hear that on this channel. Thanks for the laugh.
Bucket listing this place fersure lol
wow..i played the 2600 port of off the wall
I live in Barbados so I live where people love to vacation. But boy, I would love to visit that arcade and relive my years of misspent youth!
Wow, this is right near me. I gotta check it out.
Woah....I think I'm going to have to check this place out! Looks cool!
That is the best arcade I have ever seen
Is this a new place? I’ve been to Hillsboro plenty…my cousin lives up there and I used to live in Forest Grove/Cornelius out west of there. Have a place to drag my young cousins next time I’m up
Holy crap. This place IS insane. An arcade and a museum combined.
Im on the opposite coast but if anyone is looking for a great arcade in New Jersey the arcade in the Berlin Farmers Mart is great and just recently doubled in size after new owners bought it👍
Love you John. Thx for the video that place looks awesome bro
That's a cool place lol...
Your daughter in the reflection sitting on the couch on her phone. Nothing else she could be doing in this place 😂🤦♂️
Top gun arcade is real in fact cidercade has one as well. They were collecting dust till top gun 2 was a hit at the box office and now they are showing up in places.
Dude. That Genesis kiosk with the cart switcher is sick. Would love to have one of those.
This is just down the street from the house I grew up in. Only 20 minutes away now, but if it was there when I was a kid, my grades would have been poor...
This place is an incredible investment
At 10:55, that is air hockey, but yes, no arcade is complete without an air hockey table.
Mind blowing.
Need some mad dog McCree
I wish I had something like that near by.
Wow, this place looks insane. I have to plan a trip!
Been there twice. I don't live too far out but it's always good to plan for an all-day outing to really sink your teeth into it. There's just so much to do and see...
I need a trip just to go there
All I can say is Wow! It's old school gamer heaven!
That is dope!! I must go! I will. Thank you. 🙏
I live in Beaverton!
This place is beautiful.
i need to go visit this place, it looks super flippin awesome!!!!!!!
I have a place near me that is like a mini version of this, this is just unreal wow they have everything
Holy hell! That place is amazing! Must be more valuable than Fort Knox!
I spy a Tom Servo!
pretty nice!
Yeah that's great awesome
I could spend six months in there, pity I'm 3000 miles away. Booooooooooooooo
I need this in Montreal :(
i wanna go there so bad!! maybe someday ill take a road trip to oregon.
Wish I would have known about that when I lived in Maple Valley. Went down there a time or two to get Abby's Pizza in Gresham. I'd play me some Dig Dug. What I'd really like is to find a Trog arcade machine. There are a few in Utah Valley, though they are as much a mix of old as new, including one a couple blocks away that I haven't got around to visiting.
Don't know if you ever heard of it but there was (might still be) an arcade in downtown Tacoma called Dorkey's. Played some Rampage there.
If I had a day with no wife or kids I could stay there open to close. Wife and kids would get bored
Shout out to my boy Derek Jennings for creating the pixel art on the outside of the building. 💪
Swell
Have you checked out Jedi alliance in Spokane Washington very similar to this
If somebody says that arcades are dead, they're freaking LYING!!
John, genuinely: I would be interested to see you playing Pengo, i.e., if you were to film and upload it. That is what I'd call _a black coffee arcade game._
I LOVE Pengo. Used to play it often, but was never great at it.
Arcade Pengo looks cute, but the moment to moment intensity (i.e., mental focus) that it requires _IS JUST BRUTAL._ You need a joystick the size of your hand and a cup of coffee the size of your head. @@JohnRiggs
9:29 haha you said it not me
You should give a list of every game you played there.
Go to Galloping ghost in Chicago. It's amazing
You ever check out Galloping Ghost in Brookfield Illinois?
so awesome
I really wish I could teleport.
wow i'd be spending all days just looking at the walls
There seems to be a massive resurgence in Arcades and Retro games.
Something feels off playing arcade games in an arcade without quarters. :)
I can't imagine the electricity bill
I wish we had an arcade like this in Maryland, do they have AvP and Cadash?
My God 😳 🤯
memories❤arcades🎉
How does that place pay for itself??? That's millions of dollars worth of merchandise and you can access it for $22 all day!? It seems too cool to be real.
If you get enough foot traffic through the door from Thursday-Sunday at $22 a person, it adds up quickly. They’re not hurting for money.
Do they have hotel rooms? Because I would just make that my vacation.
Aren't those cabinets too close to each other?. I mean, it looks like player 2 would use the same space of the player 1 of the cabinet right next to it.
I see your daughters have all grown up
I quickly went through the video, but I could not find a Japanse music game section with Taiko, MaiMai, Wakka and stuff like that. Do they have a section for Otaku?
That's almost as big as galloping ghost up in Chicago.
Bigger. Next Level has 300 pins on the floor. GG is a joke compared to this place.
Only $22 for a free play? How do they keep the lights on? I can imagine what the electric bill is. It is amazing that something like this exist but im curious how they stay in business
