    Gosh that was like entering to heaven for me back in the 80's, i still remember all different sounds for the different games playing there at the arcade game place. The 80's were the best decade for me.

      Hi Victor,
      Yep nothing like the 80's and I don't think we'll ever see a decade like the 80's ever again in our time. The games, music, movies, TV shows, toys etc....

      Exactly, the 80's were cool, lots of cool things were introduced to the public back then, awesome music, great tv shows and unforgettable movies, yes you are completely right, the 80's were awesome!.

    I'm not usually impressed with people's game rooms because they all start to look the same after a while, but yours is more like a showroom. It looks exactly like the arcades I went to growing up. You could literally call this a museum and sell tickets. If you added anything it would be a skeeball or basketball game. Simply beautiful

    • @ouidahepburn6987
      @ouidahepburn6987  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks Chris for the nice comments. My goal when we built this game room was two things:1) keep things simple and 2) Don't overcrowd the game room. I can't stand game rooms with walls covered in posters/beer neon signs/ memorabilia, as it takes away from the game room "feel". Now since this video, we have put blacklight reactive planets and stars on the ceiling, but it only goes with the space "vibe" we tried to create.

      Thanks for the kind words. Yes, as someone who was 10 years old when these games were reaching mainstream popularity, I wanted to create the atmosphere of an early 80's arcade. This included keeping the later 80's and 90's games out of the main game area, and also not plastering the walls with posters and stuff like that. Wanted to have a simple and clean game room. Also wanted to maintain some openness to the room, so we avoided cramming as many games as we could into the area, which meant selling/giving away several games when we moved the games into the room.

    I would say this is the best collection of arcade cabinets I've seen yet. There's a few missing like Elevator Action, Time Pilot '84, Zoo Keeper and Mr. Do! but damn. And there is no greater song than 48 video games playing attraction mode all at once!

    Put a pizza oven and Pepsi machine in it and I'll pay you to live in it! So want to feel that magic again of walking into a room filled with the music from all those arcade machines!! Good god bro you literally have every game I loved with the exception of Mr. Do! That carpet is so killer perfect for an arcade room as well. Right down the road from where I went to high school was an arcade/pizza joint called the Bear's Cave because our mascot was the bears. Spent many a lunch there...and well you know several days when I *cough cough* wasn't feeling good enough to go to school. ;) This video took me right back there and to so many other great arcade experiences!

    This was incredible and "The Neverending Story" song in the background was the cherry on top 😆

    Front Line was my "go-to" game especially when I only had a few quarters. It's pretty easy to get 20 minutes to a half hour of gameplay on a single credit. Surprised you got the "Bubbles" joystick to work. That machine used a VERY UNIQUE 49-way optical stick that doesn't age well. Easiest way to fix any machine that hums is to take the time and teach it all the words. Thanks for the tour my friend, game on! 👍 👍

    Beautiful space! Glad you got a proper arcade carpet. Many home arcades don’t bother with it. Looks great and reminds me of my youth in the late 70s early 80s arcades :)
    Nice 80s music in the background too :)

      The carpet was actually my wife's idea, lol. I was going to go with straight black carpet, but she said to do it right, so I went with the black light carpet.

      Thanks Kenny, that's what my wife and I were trying to capture when we built the game room. Simple, but authentic. Not an over load of lights and posters all over the walls, like others have done.

    What a great Arcade and incredible collection of games!!!!! Add Super Pac-Man and fix your Star Castle and you would have all of my favorites minus a few fighting games.
