Watching all of these older vids. Special thanks to the Game Exchange for allowing cameras to record there for this video as it's really fun seeing all of these machines and parts. Very cool.
I enjoyed watching you go through a complete list of vector games and stating your opinions of each one. I also have always been enamored by vector games.
John, Point Blank is definitely the gun game to get, and you want it with the original guns. I've worked at Namco Arcades for many years up until they all died out. You can keep going back to Point Blank over any other gun game and the reason is because all of the stages are randomized. Wit memorization in Time Crisis, Area 51, Virtua Cop and of course the FMV shooters, they get boring way too fast.
Hey John, haven't had a moment to watch your vid in a while but must say after seeing this one that your shows are becoming very nicely polished. Good on you. Have a good one!
These videos are great. Better than anything on primetime TV. So much nostalgia. I'd love to work (even as a warehouse part runner or dog poop picker-upper) in that game warehouse.
Awesome vid, man i would love to work at that warehouse! enjoyed the viewer mail, i think its an awesome segment that has added to yor workload (getting so many now) but i love the time your taking to cover the mail and answer questions, good job man. oh and i didnt notice your coat rustling lol.
I love these kinds of vids. I wish you would have moved a little bit slower on the showroom floor just to see the games / cab art. 7 min in you really start zooming by. Awesome tour! Looking at all the monitors im surprised you didn't mention something about your 720 monitor.
Makes me wonder if they got their Tecmo Bowl locally in Colorado. I never saw that cabinet anywhere else at all the arcades I went to in colorado except the one at Villa Italia mall, which as been torn down since. There is something that adds to the appeal knowing it might of been one you played on as a teenager.
Hey John i just have to say once again how i love these Vids,u really make a great job with em,i use to love these Wooden soccer cabinets i was very good and most times i could play alone vs 2 guys on the other side and win quite easily. Keep up the good work and plz Dont Forget your Quest for Series i Love em as well and can't wait to see some progress soon on DK and DK jr (and i hope other games as well as time goes by)
i live in Colorado and never knew about that place. but thanks to your video ill definately be stopping by the game exchange. must be a thrill for you to walk by all those cool games, even the old dusty obscure ones. you should get a job at a place like that john. I hope you get out to visit todd tuckey, that's a video id love to see. later
gd video john..i just got 3 megatouch machines for £60 planning on making one in to a mame to get my kids in to classic arcade games. keep up the gd work!!
that's a pretty awesome warehouse! Wouldn't mind owning the DDR 5th mix, the Initial D or hell even that Mario Kart AGP3! On vector games I do still like Asteroids, yes even the original! I like Tempest although I'm not particulary good at it, lol. I vaguely remember a cockpit Red Baron at an arcade many years ago, it was neat. Star Wars Episode 4 I would totally still play today if my local pizza parlor still had it :( Great videos though, keep em coming!
Hey john, great video again, always look forward "John on the road" vids and your game reviews. What I am really eager to see is a Gameplay and Review of "Journey" !!! you spent so long fixing it up but we still aint seen your view and gameplay of it.
John, I love your videos. Can you cut the music when the content of the video begins. It is hard to hear John Exidy talk with the music playing over him. Just a thought.
wow i did not know them microphones were so expensive , great channel john love your vids if i was a rich man i would buy you one , but im not :( keep the vids coming though mate , best channel on retro arcade games on youtube :)
Hey John, Love your channel. Love the tips, tricks and general how to's when it comes to fixing up a cabinet. I have been doing MAME for some time now, but have been wanting to do a Dig Dug for a long time. Think I might give it a try. I live in GA. Very difficult to find a place around here to get cab's. This past weekend I went to PA. On the way I stopped at CoinOp Warehouse in Hagerstown MD. Ever been there? Lot's of parts and anything and everything coin op. Picked up a 25'in monitor for $100. This is the ultimate Coin Op graveyard. You should check it out if you ever get a chance.
That emailer was asking you opinions about games that haven't even been found and may no longer exist, Vertigo, Hovercraft, Scramble, and Battlestar being examples, if you ever DO come upon them for god's sake save the ROMs! lol
What about those Pandora Box 400 in 1 ?? I bought a 60 in 1 which I plan on setting up on a vertical Cab and something else for Horizontal games. Since space is very limited, I can have at most 2 cabs.
thanks for reading my viewer mail John! Thanks for the advice on the multicarts!!! definitely gonna get the jrok williams, mostly for a hardware hassle free Robotron! I totally agree about the Red Tent(I love VS Goonies and VS SMB). My only real reason for a PC10 was to get a NES cart adapter and play all my NES games in SWEET RGB. I have an RGB modded NES, but i love playing on arcade cabs more!!!! Thanks again good sir!
Dam I told you call the penny arcade they might have stuff old cool stuff not sure if it's open still but they where called the penny arcade and had penny machines so research them I have a felling you could find some rare stuff if they have its In Manitou Colorado penny arcade I worked there as a kid
Hey John: Coincidentally, Jumpbug is currently the high score competition game for the next 2 weeks over at BYOAC. If you getting it working in time you can play. forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,143597.0.html
Tecno bowl was the only sports game I liked me and some friends played it they where sports nuts lol and would hand write the sesones down States etc lol
Great video, John. Good to see you make it midwest a bit. I wish Game Exchange would take a few minutes worth of care for their pinball machines at the Rocky Mountain Pinball Showdown every year. All of their used games, without question, are never leveled, features or lamps don't work, and the flippers are weak and misaligned. Then they put a price tag on each game with some ridiculous price that implies its all ready to play and been shopped. If you ever get to the Showdown, you'll see what I mean. They've literally brought in games to the showroom floor that won't pop a ball out into the shooter lane for all 3 days because they just can't be bothered to give a shit. Frustrating and poor representation for them and the Showdown.
These are the Pole Position settings: Game Time: 120 Seconds Laps: 4 Practice Difficulty: "C" Rank Extended Lap Difficulty: "G" Rank (75 - 51 - 57 - 61) Use the manual to see which ones do what. It is in two sections of the manual: archive.org/details/polepositiontm-2184thprinting111
Ok John, I have a golden tee compete and would love to have the option for the golden tee LIVE. I heard you talk to the main guy about upgrading and he said it wasn't expensive. I need the details on how to make this convention happen or just really how to get a golden tee live period!!! I am ready for the next step in golden tee and my golden tee fore complete has been used enough, I am ready for live. Help a fellow KLOV member out and do a video or message me on what you have found out please!!!!!
man that place was huge... hey john, recently you've been saying what the video is going to be about in the beginning...which would be fine, but then you start the video and then talk about what you're going to do in the video again...lol
Hey John! I have a question on here. Since my gmail is having a problem. Have you seen The Star wars Battle Pod? Its So Freaking AMAZING! i really think you should see it!
really cool video of game exchange. I grew up acouple of blocks away from there,next time your in colorado you should come by and check out my arcade cab i built th-cam.com/video/K2APugkb25I/w-d-xo.html
Iabsolutely love how the dog was leading you like a spirit guide through the ancient temple of gaming. amazing place and another amazing video John
Watching all of these older vids. Special thanks to the Game Exchange for allowing cameras to record there for this video as it's really fun seeing all of these machines and parts. Very cool.
Shock and awe!!!! Even John seemed speechless for once. The amount of stuff , arcade machines are alive and well
I LOVE all of these Denver video's. I didn't even know about this place!
Wow John that warehouse has just blown my mind! What an amazing walkround. Thanks as always.
Thanks! Yeah, lots of cool stuff there. If only they were closer!
I enjoyed watching you go through a complete list of vector games and stating your opinions of each one. I also have always been enamored by vector games.
Wow! Those test rigs are amazing. You could do an entire video on those things by themselves. Thanks for another great video John, good stuff!
Wow..No wonder Colorado Games were able to fix my pinball boards when I had to get them fixed fast!!! I had no idea how big there wherehouse is!!!
John, Point Blank is definitely the gun game to get, and you want it with the original guns. I've worked at Namco Arcades for many years up until they all died out.

Hey John, haven't had a moment to watch your vid in a while but must say after seeing this one that your shows are becoming very nicely polished. Good on you. Have a good one!
Thanks, pal! Yeah... watch a bunch of vids in the last year here. I'm trying. :)
The track and field in our arcade had track balls. Never seen a button one til I seen yours John. BTW love yr videos.
These videos are great. Better than anything on primetime TV. So much nostalgia. I'd love to work (even as a warehouse part runner or dog poop picker-upper) in that game warehouse.
Awesome vid, man i would love to work at that warehouse! enjoyed the viewer mail, i think its an awesome segment that has added to yor workload (getting so many now) but i love the time your taking to cover the mail and answer questions, good job man. oh and i didnt notice your coat rustling lol.
Sweet, enjoying this mini series a lot. Jon Exidy seems like a real cool guy.
Yeah, Jon is a cool dude!
I've purchased a number of pins and video game cabs from this place for little home arcade. Good merchant with good deals and fair treatment.
I love these kinds of vids. I wish you would have moved a little bit slower on the showroom floor just to see the games / cab art. 7 min in you really start zooming by. Awesome tour! Looking at all the monitors im surprised you didn't mention something about your 720 monitor.

There is something that adds to the appeal knowing it might of been one you played on as a teenager.
That really is an awesome place. I know that if I had a home arcade, I'd be tempted to drive there for a couple games.
Jump Bug for Baby Pac-Man!
Great
Hey John i just have to say once again how i love these Vids,u really make a great job with em,i use to love these Wooden soccer cabinets i was very good and most times i could play alone vs 2 guys on the other side and win quite easily.

These keep getting better.
dont know how I missed this video. I worked for the guys at GEC for a few years. Great place to work and I still do business with them to this day.
They are super awesome there!
Your the coolest guy ever. I'd take years off my life to tour arcade warehouses like the ones you do. Sadly not in Canada.
i live in Colorado and never knew about that place. but thanks to your video ill definately be stopping by the game exchange. must be a thrill for you to walk by all those cool games, even the old dusty obscure ones. you should get a job at a place like that john.

Great video John! My only complaint is that your coat was making a rather unpleasant sound rubbing against itself. :P
LOL! Yeah, I know. OOPS. SWOOOOOOSH

What about a LED Scrolling Info Frame Box Thingy?
...in accordance to @34:55
I don't suppose this place deals with imports?
You have a basement meant for parties!!!! Do you ever have any?

John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech Hey John did you see that dog that was in the warehouse
MKGPDX is still the best arcade game

Ok John, I have a golden tee compete and would love to have the option for the golden tee LIVE. I heard you talk to the main guy about upgrading and he said it wasn't expensive. I need the details on how to make this convention happen or just really how to get a golden tee live period!!! I am ready for the next step in golden tee and my golden tee fore complete has been used enough, I am ready for live. Help a fellow KLOV member out and do a video or message me on what you have found out please!!!!!
Yeah, I want Golden Tee Live too. It's not cheap. You need a whole new computer setup.
Are the any advantages to buying retail than off cl?
Well, the hope is the retailer will help you if there is an issue. But, you will pay for this convenience up front.
John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech ah, ok. Kinda like paying for tech support. Thanks for writing back!
why cant i find anything on lady bug being ordered to be destroyed??? is that some bullshit story?
man that place was huge...
hey john, recently you've been saying what the video is going to be about in the beginning...which would be fine, but then you start the video and then talk about what you're going to do in the video again...lol
Yeah, I get that. I'm still fine-tuning this new intro style. :)
26 dollars for it
Did your experiment of infecting The Redbox in New England with Colorado Xbox One games work out? Lol
Yes it did! My Redbox know has one Xbox One game. The one I put in there. :)
John, just curious... when you visit places like this do you call ahead of time to ask permission to video tape it and post it to your channel?
I'm friends with Jon at the 1up and he's friends with the Game Exchange. So, this was prearranged. Normally I just show up.
+John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech did you see that dog in the warehouse?
Hey John! I have a question on here. Since my gmail is having a problem.
Have you seen The Star wars Battle Pod? Its So Freaking AMAZING! i really think you should see it!
