- Todd Tuckey shows you a super nice Food Fight! This was the first arcade game to use a 68000 Processor making it capable of doing an "Instant Replay" show toward end of video! Also the first to use a SOLID STATE joystick too! Sadly, very few of these survive--most of them being converted to other games in the late 80's as this game was not popular at the time of release. Gaining a steady following, its a great game to add to your game room!
Sad to hear that so few of these survived the 80s... Food Fight was my go-to game on those all-too-rare family trips to Showbiz Pizza!
My God…this guy is the living embodiment of my dream lifestyle. He gets to restore and play arcade games as a living.
Food Fight was an awesome game. I played it at the local mini mart back in 1983 quite a bit. One of the General Computer made games I think as payment for their "souped up" version of Missile Command
There is a Food Fight Cocktail arcade game for sale on eBay now!!!
Got my replicade of this with the TNT yellow T-molding. :) love it.
New Wave Toys just released a pre order for this game in 1/6 scale and they have a limited edition version that looks exactly like the one in your video with yellow T molding and the custom side art
I remember playing this game when I was a kid. It was awesome and still is. I kinda forgot about it until I played it on my 7800
I never knew the name of this game I wondered all my life 🗣️ and I had to Google it because I first seen that the fantastic artwork and arcade game on the movie real genius with Val kilmer
Your daughter is great at that commercial! That’s not easy to do!
Golden Axe!!
4:47 It must be because of the Irish leprechauns over there!
This game was at a bowling alley I went to as a kid. Loved that game.
You see these now at classic arcades!
Food Fight is such a neat game...there is really no other game like it....very unique!
+Edmond Niemczura Yes...hard but fun!
SPLAT! is pretty similar.
That guy reminds me of Steve Wozniak...
I remembered Food Fight only as a 7800 game, I didn't know it had been an arcade machine until New Wave Toys offered the Replicade version a few months back.
After having had the privilege of playing this game in the new Atari 50th Anniversary Collection, I’ve gotta say, I’m hooked! I’m genuinely surprised that this wasn’t a bigger hit back in the day. It really should’ve been. Food Fight is the very definition of a hidden gem. I recently found out that New Wave Toys is adding this game to their incredible line of 1/6 scale “Replicades”. Unfortunately, I missed the opportunity to preorder it, so I’ll have to get one of those units once they are made available for a general rollout. Definitely another must buy for me.
Anyhow, as always, awesome restoration work and hilarious (and informative) video (as per usual; I wouldn’t expect anything less from good ol’ TNT). Cheers from Olney, MD!
If those are NOS parts and as rare as you say, you should at least get them properly scanned for a 3D Print database. This way the part won't be gone entirely and could be remade with modern tech.
How did it take me so long to find this channel?? These videos are awesome! Takes me back to my childhood.
Thanks Pedro...glad you found us! Todd
Where can I buy an original coin-op of Atari “Tempest?”
You can see one of these being played in the 1980's movie "Real Genius".
i got a kill screen on this, speedrun no deaths. favorite game ever on atari, would do anything for an original arcade of it.
Today I pulled the woodgrain-foil off my converted Food Fight and a stripe-shirt artwork in mint conditions was under it. Serial# is 28
+Hirthirthirt Hmmm...wonder what that was?
+TNT Amusements Inc
the Serial-nr, it is on the cab, thr monitor and the transformer, it says UR00028
I love Astro Blaster also. Astro Fighter is great too.
Apparently I am making a very similar game even thought I never played this game. Feel free to check it out. twitter.com/MattKingGameDev
Looks neat Matt!
That joystick has a pretty wide stick. I remember the Targ and Spectar joysticks being particularly huge! Almost like the Joker's Wild bonus round lever.
One of my friends owns a food fight cocktail.
Very few of those made!
Todd you have a really cool game right there,I wish I had that video game in my room. Plus I can't wait for the cyclone video, that is one of my favorite games as well fish tales and herricane
It's lways sad to hear some machines not making it, and even worse, being converted to something else. :(
Cabarets was for bars and other locations where a fullsize-machine would look too dominant.
The machines did´nt ship to Ireland, in Tipperary/Ireland was an Atari-plant, they produced there. Atari Ireland made many games for other companies.
That is the reason behind the Atari Space Ace/Dragons Lair.
Also SEGA let them make there machines, for example the Ride-on bike of Hang-On.
I would love to see some Deluxe-Machines restored in your shop, why are you dont do this?
+Hirthirt hirt We ONLY do machines that we either have in stock that get sold or are sent to us to do...so maybe one day we will get some. REMEMBER, our main business is selling the machines. The videos are made of those games going out!
The infamous 68k, a true work horse of the arcade industry
Everyone loves that chip!
Gorgeous game. I was lucky enough to get a chance to play this in the arcade back in the 80s in a seaside town called Newcastle , County Down. Super addictive. Only console I know that got a port of this was the Atari 7800. Quite a nice port that and it has the action replay feature too.
Yes...it still holds up today!
i would love a sit down spy hunter the best machine ever
Such a beautiful cabinet 😍
By the way, your Asteroids DX is a Tipperary-made machine....the purple Asteroids-lettering gives it away.
+Hirthirt hirt Thanks!! That's an interesting fact!!
And the red (or so) Spaceship vs a golden one.
I wonder how that machine comes over to the USA, Todd :)
Never got the chance to play the game in the arcade played it on the Atari 7800
You will see it at the classic arcades that are popping up all over.
You don't happen to have any more of those "pots of gold" do you? :)
Currently not selling any of the spare Food Fight parts...sorry!
I am so glad I didn't see this before I went to the grocery store :-)
Lyle Johnson :-)
Williams made a similar game called "Splat!"
Yes...I only saw one of them!
