Man I wish I lived closer to Texas... I love Mario Kart arcade, Sunset Riders, House of the Dead 2, Donkey Kong, Lost World: Jurassic Park, and Carnival King all so much.
So many great games in this arcade, Star Wars Trilogy Arcade the goat of star wars games, NBA Jam and Showtime and Blitz 2000, Lost World, MVC2, and Ms Pac man Galaga class of 81
I’m baffled by how many machines they either own or rent from someone who owns a ton lol. I have to assume they own around 1,000 machines between all 3 (and the soon to open 4th arcade).
Killer queen is the best "new" arcade game because it fosters an amazing team experience that is welcoming to new players even if you don't know anyone else on your team. Give it a shot when there is a crowd!
I bought a Showtime/Blitz 2000 combo about 6 years ago for $500. Had to have the power supply repaired for another couple of hundred bucks last year but runs great now. Great cab. Good luck on your search for one.
Killer Arcade Games, Such an impressive lineup of games, video and pinball. So much Stern love! I would come for the games for sure. What I think some of these new arcades miss, including the large Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas, is Arcade theming. They take a lot of care to bring some amazing cabs, but feels like they just throw them into a room and their done. Also, and this is a personal preference of mine, natural outside light ruins the esthetic of any arcade. Draw the shades (or find a place with no outside windows), turn down the ceiling lights, and let these machines shine :) Maybe throw up some cool blacklighting or creative LED's and go to town. Walking into a place like this just feels sterile. Again, not to say I wouldn't come and play the heck out of the games, but it doesn't feel like home like older arcades did. Thanks for sharing this look! vgv
I've actually seen that Cuphead cabinet in another TH-cam video. Definitely never had an arcade release seeing as it just came out in 2017. But it could've very easily had an arcade release as it plays similarly to Metal Slug or Contra, though it's mostly a boss rush gauntlet
I like that they are making cabs out of games that didn’t get a release. I’d say 80% of their patrons wouldn’t know the difference anyway. I go to their arcades a lot and it seems most of their customers are casual gamers at best. More interested in just visiting an arcade and drinking instead of going for specific games they love.
@@KillerArcadeGames Yeah that is an unfortunate dark side of retro gaming these days. To the common folk, they go for other motives and games are just fluff. My brief time working at a retro game shop, I notice the common ppl were there to get cash for trade ins, they didn't care for the games that much.
Fighting Arena is running Windows/Big Box. Cuphead is on Steam, that game is running Windows/Big Box. Top Gun is a Nintendo vs game, thats a legit Nintendo cab with vs hardware. Crash is on Steam, that game is running Win/Big Box. This location has ZERO emulation going on. Fort Worth is open! Almost 300 games and excellent pizza!
Ohh ok, good to know! I went to Fort Worth a couple of weekends ago. Its huge. It was too busy to get a good recording of the place so I'll go back this fall and get in early.
I also miss the old Cruis’n cabs! I did see one on this trip though. I also went to Tornado Terrys in Keller, TX. They have two linked I believe. I recorded a walkthrough there too but I may wait a while to release.
There was reset button man so your whole conversation at 5:00-7:12 make zero sense they 've already solved it :D Love how they acknowledged what people looking for these days and they build that way those racing cabinets and some other in cabinet games were cool. They have a lot of unique games . Wish we have arcades like this in my country
Killer Arcade Games, DUDE! You gotta try out Namco Classics Collection! These not only have the original games included, but remixed versions you can play two player with new graphics! If you like Dig Dug, you'll LOVE the remixed version. It would've been cool if they had the other Namco Classics machine as well which comes with a remixed version of Galaga, which in my opinion, is the best version of Galaga ever :) vgv

Texas is loaded with arcades! Dallas and Houston seem to have to most.
Could never bail out after the initial walkthrough! Wish we had these sort of arcades here in Quebec.
I appreciate it! I know some are just finding the video while browsing and don't want to hear me talk about the games haha.
Niiice. More modern stuff than Galloping Ghost here in Illinois.
Beast Busters, my holy grail arcade. very cool.
man... than pinaball table collection was amazing. so clean

Wow! Beautiful collection of great classics. Thank you for the tour.👍

Very nicely put together video and very entertaining as well. Thanks for posting this.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I love it but wish it had better ergonomics. My wrists kill me afterwards.
that dance machine is called stepmaniax is produced by kyile ward he is the same pearson who produced itg
Moon Patrol was one of my favorite games in the 80s
I don't think I've ever played that one.

I had fun at this place a while ago. Would like to go back. I remember spending a lot of time on the tron cab
I'm jealous of those close enough to go to these regularly.
That star wars racer looked amazing! Episode 1 racer was one of my favour N64 games. Thanks for the walkthrough--really interesting!
I wish I'd played it, by the time I got back to it they tech was repairing it.

I use to go here all the time
Amazing collection omg
It is, all three of their arcades have great selections of games. I'm glad they're in Texas!
Great video!
Thanks Tomas!
Look at all these arcade cabinets
Love that towerfall cab
Have you seen that one before?
Sick collection. Awesome video. Makes me want to buy more games but I'm out of space.
Me too, I'm always looking. I am getting more space soon but I still need to be picky.
Man, I want to play that star wars....
I didn't get a chance to since the guy came to work on it when I got back over there. It looks like a Daytona 2 player cab shape.
Ok, mad props for the Nuka Cola clock. 👍
My wife made that for me! She only made two of them, I don't know if they ever made any professionally.
@@KillerArcadeGames LOL, as soon as I saw it, I started thinking about how to make it.
Sunset Riders dedicated cab, even Galloping Ghost doesn't have that
Looks interesting!
Its worth a visit if you're in the area!
@@KillerArcadeGames I loved arcades back in the day but I live in London 😁
Keep up great videos
Cool 😎!!!
Thanks TCO!
'FruitLine' is Front Line, a military foot soldier shooter.
Ah, thanks. I misread lol.

I find a lot of girls go to the arcades just to take pictures with the games and don't actually play them haha. Its hilarious.

@@KillerArcadeGames Gumshoe is another Vs. System cabinet (NES game modified for arcade play).
I believe there is a VS Top Gun so maybe thats what the top gun is running.
Wow I guess I've just never seen it before! The Cidercade locations have a fair amount of those old Nintendo cabs. Its cool to see.
@@KillerArcadeGames I just Goggled it to be sure and there is a VS Top Gun on a Red Tent
Wonder if Cruis'n Blast coming out for Switch has caused Arcades to lose the arcade version. Shame there didn't seem to be any old Cruis'n games.
I also miss the old Cruis’n cabs! I did see one on this trip though. I also went to Tornado Terrys in Keller, TX. They have two linked I believe. I recorded a walkthrough there too but I may wait a while to release.
@@KillerArcadeGames I once played the red simulator of Crusin USA at Jillian's when I was around 13 I think, it didn't move but still

Death ball is a lot of fun. Brings back that VS arcade spirit bacause you will get a crowd around it with the loser rotating out.

Namco classics collection remix verisons aka arrangements
Dedicated Windjammers for the win
Houston has some nice games, but Dallas looks way better with the classics, all original and better selection. Wish it wasn’t so far away
Run and gun basketball
Damn that Konami X Men such memorabilia il live in Fort Worth lol that’s cool 😎
Is Fortnite, Overwatch, Call of Duty, and GTA blamed for arcade job loss?!?!
