You cant beat that for $150 and some time! Great job getting it back up amd running and cleaned up it looks super nice for the money! I picked up an Ivan Ironman Stuart 3 sterring wheel model for $150 several years back and had to buy about $120 worth of bearings for the steering wheels to get it playing great. Add a little elbow grease, some touch ups, and redoing all the pedals and base plate for $50 more..Had it for 2.5 years and someone offered me $1200 at the Houston Arcade Expo so I had to let it go, but now of course I miss it! Hope you and the family have a great Thanksgiving Doug! Your arcade should offer pkenty entertainment for any guests you have coming ..that Pinball collection is looking sweet!.. I have been asking Santa for a new Labyrinth machibe but I dont think she is listening! Lol.. I cant wait to get some real time on that game!.. Have a great Holiday brother!
Thankfully that was not the case, just some people who really didn't know or care how to take care of something like this. The told me they bought it for their kids many years ago and no one ever played it anymore.
We used to get rolls of quarters at work and head to the arcade after work to play this. I was 17/18 then. I am sure I spent hundreds of dollars at the arcade playing this game. Man, what memories - an arcade. Those days are long gone. Memories are good to have, but having the unit is better! Maybe I can con my Wife into letting me track one down! ha ha. Great video!
this is where arcade1up is just for 1 player mode because of the very limited space it delivers. in my opinion i rather pay a little extra to have the actual arcade experience rather than an emulated one like 1up. and your video is awesome good sir, just came upon it today. keep up the awesome work 💪🏻💪🏻
Nice! I have one too and got it for $175. I have it working and looking great now. If your steering wheel feels loose in the center or slides when you go hard left or right, get a new steering key. Mine had worn edges. It's a $5 metal thing like 1 inch long.
Great Deal! Front doors pry open pretty easily, no drilling required. That inner pall locking tab bends easy. I like making things work. I don't like the old CRT monitors. Nice thing about Cruis'n is the power supply is a PC ATX (Same Voltages) easy to find and replace. Almost Any Junk old PC
Double pedal for the wheelie. I remember the first time I ever got a first place on one of these machines and another race. I think I never played it again after that :( good times :)
Nicely done - was probably a power issue and guy thought it was the board. So you lucked out the board wasn't Faulty.. otherwise I wouldn't be worth much. hence why he sold it for 75
Yeah anytime I hear someone describe a faulty arcade by saying "it resets all the the time" I know it's typically a power supply issue. Easy fix for sure.
@@cooltoy yep and if the game freezes then can be more of a headache issue but usually a 3D card problem which can cost a ton. Depending on what Arcade system. The ones I have replacing the 3D card might cost me $400-500 that isn't cheap and id the boards are Rare you can be looking up to 1K to 2K. That is why I tried to get into Rare Collecting before it went crazy.
CoolToy, Amazing Deal! For $75, I thought you might have only got the shell :) If you decide to keep it, might I make some suggestions? OLED this baby! Then get some real Alligator hide to upholster the the seat. Then get a good quality sticker of Pamela Anderson in a Baywatch Bikini, so you can have her riding the Rhino on the side :D A little much? OK. Then maybe just a light for the radio button :) Great find! vgv
Did anyone ever say you look like scott Farkas on Christmas story Christmas all grown up wait your not a movie star are you?Anyone your freaking awesome I subscribed.
Thankfully not the case. I’m sure if Arcade1up released this machine they would remove the race girls or change the tracks or some other nonsense and then try to sell it for $800 as an “original arcade experience”
Same here, I've seen a few Cruis'n machines in my area for around that price point, and they all had major issues. So I was excited to luck out and get this one working for so cheap.
Amazing find. Have you ever considered restoring the CRT monitor in this cabinet? Am I correct in assuming that since this is a childhood cabinet, it doesn't seem like you want to sell it.
Coincidentally, I got one of these for $75 fully working with a CRT and no needed electronic repair (yet), aside from some light body work and a clean up. I'll never complain as a budget home arcader, but good lord I got the deluxe version which is extra thicc. Not ideal, but I'll take it for the poor score.
I loved this game good find. Also, I think the long cable might be to connect it to a second machine because they worked in tandem like two people playing in the same game at the same time.
No, the long cable was just a vga cable. The cable to link multiple games together is essentially the same thing as your standard Ethernet cable and connects onto the main game pcb of each unit
The seat section separates, so if you have a pick up truck it’s pretty easy to transport. An appliance dolly helps tremendously when moving an arcade in and around a house
Yeah she wasn't excited to hear I would be bringing home another big machine, but when I told her the price she agreed and said I would have been stupid to leave it behind.
Such a steal, but how much for your Labor? Still seems like a total steal. Where did you find the listing? For it to be a steal it has to end up in the hands of the right buyer. Nice!
The listing popped up in my local Facebook marketplace, I’ve seen a few deals like this pop up over the years but I can’t ever seem to get them fast enough and they get sold to someone else. So I’m happy one finally went my way

Hi Cooltoy how have you been? Could you please tell me what the nature of the force feedback was on the original Cruis'n Games (USA and World)...was it just a simple return the wheel to center kind of thing, did the wheel vibrate, did it jerk the wheel left and right if you crashed etc? Thank you
$75!!!? Why can't I find something like that, I have been collecting any video game, console, cartridge, disc, controller or platform for 8 years and I have never come across offers like that 😒😣🙁
Well games aren’t worth what they worth years ago the arcade machines do break I stopped buying them I own 4 arcade machines not going to play on them anymore I’m not going to pay for fixing them so far for arcade 1 up they haven’t broke once so I will be buying arcade 1 up the arcade machines were meant to be in stores to make money not to play with I learned that if you know how to repair arcade machines that’s great but it will still cost you hundred dollars or more to fix them everything from the 80’s and 90’s were breaking
@mikekanner2156 I don't have any problem with the content of the comment, don't be ridiculous. It's hard to read because there isn't a single period or comma, as if a first grader wrote it.
