State of the Arcade 2024 !

Welcome back to Arcade Sunday, your source of home Arcade gameplay, arcade game play strategy, coverage of interesting and sometimes, unknown Arcade games from the 80's , 90's and early 2000's ! In this video I show off the games I've been playing recently, and some that I hope to get better at in the near future ! Be sure to check out my arcade gameplay video playlist, and arcade gameplay strategy playlists, and even how to build you own home arcade ! Cheers for now!

Thanks for the tour! Such a nice gaming space, and I’m really impressed with the cabinets and games. Nice to see some shooters 😮.
I love the neo geo from playing them at our local arcades growing up. It’s therefore nice to see some neo drift out.
Great idea with applying the magnet on the crt screen 👌
Thanks and hope to catch you again soon in the comments 👍😊🕹️

@RetroEdUK thank you very much for the positive feedback! Appreciate it! I love my little Arcade, and besides actually playing games, I've become somewhat of a CRT technician (out of necessity, really). I've had to do many board level repairs to these CRT monitor chassis' over the years, so that "magnet" trick is one of my easy fix solutions... I've used that trick a bit more (after this video) and the results are pretty impressive... not perfect, but very acceptable! Neo-Geo had always fascinated me early on (like seeing the AES in game magazines for like $600 back in 1992!) ! Absolute "pie in the sky". When the Arcade MVS landed here back in the mid 90's, I played TONS of Puzzle Bobble (as that's all they really brought over initially). Later, Metal Slug 2 and 3 became more prevalent and Windjammers, Fatal Fury 3 (and Neo Drift Out) arrived, all but too late really. By then, we had Playstation, etc. What a time to have been alive though. Wow, such memories...

Oh my! I'm going to get the popcorn and soda-pop to enjoy this from you Mat. Thank you for sharing this with us. 8^)

Hopefully it was enjoyable content (haha!). Thanks for watching!

Ghouls and ghosts is one of those games that I'll never get good at. 😅

[@arcadesunday4592]

Ah, tell me about it 😒! It's just so unnecessarily difficult! That bridge level on stage 2... I mean, seriously? How are you supposed to remember which parts of the bridge will keep you up and which parts will let you fall! Overall, it's too hard... Don't get me wrong, I love a challenge, but this game! Another level of devious difficulty... almost like Capcom did it on purpose just to keep the series known for "the most difficult arcade game ever". Regardless, I'm going to give this one a few more tries...

@@arcadesunday4592 you got to the second level!!??

[@arcadesunday4592]

@TeamPandory yes I did... not on camera though... that's a subject for another video... haha! Coming soon! (Well, maybe "3 years since"?)...

Yo utilizo un taladro para desmagnetizar.

[@arcadesunday4592]

I'm not 100% sure but I guess you are referring to my terrible use of a hard drive magnet to demagnetise my CRT ? Thanks (I think?). Thanks for the comment.

[@laserplayarcades]

@@arcadesunday4592 buen método, funciono jajaja

[@arcadesunday4592]

Ah, you said you use a drill to demagnitize. Thanks for the tip! This method using a magnet has only been partially successful, so I'm going to research your method. Thanks !
