Arcade Hunters Episode 8 Weirs Beach P.1

[TheFenwayfreak95]

Just wanted to update you on the pinball status for this arcade, all pinball machines are getting cleaned and repaired during the winter this year. Come in 2012, you will find quite a few changes. Also, the antique shooting games have been fixed to work right and the classic games are being cleaned on a regular basis. If you find anyting not up to standard, let an attendant know... we have an on going "Honey do list" for our game guy.

Nick, it looks like originally said "Nick from PressStartComic in this video and someone said "arcade dash hunters dot com" over this. Am I right about this?

[PressStartComic]

@mrgutchman That's 2600, not somebody mysterious. I said the old website in the beginning, now that we're not doing it anymore we over dubbed it with the new address. It's also on the second Death Race video review.

were is this at?

[MusicsGreatest]

did this arcade have one of those "stacker" games?

[nintendoneil]

it's good to see there are some arcades...(with actual arcade games) left in the world...reminds me of my childhood in the early 80's arcades at the mall...(minus the dark, smoky atmosphere and the worker at the back who gave you change for a dollar...good video.

hey Nick why did you say no when you were in front of the Star Wars Racer arcade game?

[PressStartComic]

@gutchman84 Because it sucks.

[wastemanagementsucks]

i wish they had an arcade here like that

[PearlJammer07]

Looks like a neat arcade to visit. Have you found any good arcade places to visit in Dallas,Texas metroplex? Great vid man. 5 stars for you!

[PressStartComic]

@PearlJammer07 We're on the east cost. And we don't really have the money to do extended travel trips. I'd love to hit Arcade UFO in Austin if I had a way out there.

[PearlJammer07]

Oh sorry to hear that man. I have family in Austin. So that would be another good reason to go. Thank you for the info man.

[jedahdoma]

Man, I am jealous. What a great assortment of games. Maybe someday I'll have to fly up there just to play some sweet arcade action. I miss those days. :(

Sucks to hear about the hard drive troubles, but it's good to see you still worked through it and put out another episode. Kudos as always!

At 07:56 I see Harley Davidson & LA Riders and Sega Water Ski standing next to each other. Both are indeed one of my favorite arcade games.

[alexisironman]

hey nick, where do you get the great music?

[littlevince104]

outrun duh!!!!

[PressStartComic]

@alexisironman The overview music of the boardwalk is Passing Breeze from Outrun.

But all of the piano music you hear is all new stuff from our good friend John. He's a music major so he's been putting together a lot of new songs for us on the piano instead of using stock arcade music.

[alexisironman]

thx nick. Loved the episode.

[sinistermoon]

Summer of 08?  So you've been just sitting on this footage the whole time? Awesome video man.

[PressStartComic]

@sinistermoon Problem is 2600 is a full time teacher, so trying to get the time to sit down and upload everything is a challenge. Plus we're trying to drive traffic to the website, so all of the videos we do are on the site before YT.

[PressStartComic]

@sinistermoon Crap, I forgot. I wanted to add that also 2600 suffered not one but two crashed hard drives when he was in the process of making the the new series of videos.

That's why we don't have the old intro because it no longer exists anymore. Thankfully 2600 doesn't erase any of his Mini DV tapes so we still have all of the footage, it just needs to be shot and re-edited again.
