Current as of 26Feb2017. Some machines have left while others have been added, most of the collection had to be moved around, so it was time for a new walkthrough.
Nice!!! Your setup is Godlike😀 I wish the Arcades could make a comeback. I miss the social and competitive atmosphere of those days. I'm trying to build all the original MK cabinets too as well as Tekkens and Killer Instinct
awesome arcade setup you have a setup that any true gamer grew up wanting on their bucket list that very own arcade and you accomplish that hats off to you my friend you did an amazing job on collecting and Restorations
Good god, I've never seen a walk through of your place before. Your MK wall makes me want to cry with glee... I'm so jealous my heart aches lol. It's literally what I dreamed of in the 90s of what home ownership would look like. That's just so beautiful. Meanwhile I have to settle for my Arcade1up MK MK trilogy lol. Great work.
Love the videos of your collection as it's grown and changed over the years. I'm no electrician but hope to one day have at least one arcade machine of my very own. Probably SFII or TMNT turtles in Time but man MK was the arcade game that brought me into the arcades every week to see if a new version was out. Keep up the great videos! Thank you for them!
Thanks. The LCD was actually a Wells Gardner 26" specifically for arcade machines, top dollar one, but I still wanted to go with a CRT. Fortunately, I still have a 25" Tri-Mode Makvision in my stash, so in it went.
Very impressive. It's good that you have central air too. I've been to a few arcades and warehouses with no a/c and it's a sweat storm on the machines. Cool selection. I would get tge T2 arcade also or a star wars.
I noticed you had Primal Rage in your list on the Street Fighter cab, does it run? Primal Rage is one of the few games I've never gotten to work in Mame.
Now when I see these machines I'm like"I can't believe they made such large machines just for one game! These machines are bigger then my fridge! Back when I used to go to the arcades it was normal.
I've been able to at least get close to an arcade feel by turning Arcade1Up's into MAME machines, re-skinning them and upgrading the controls to Happ. But, there's just no substitute for the racing games I loved like SF Rush and Hydro Thunder. They aren't all that expensive used but the space required is what is tough.
Some of your cabinets have multiple games stuffed into one cabinet and most cabinets are dedicated. Does putting all games in one cabinet reduce the game play quality or is it still the same official game even with multiple games on one cabinet. It looks nice to see all of those vintage machines still being preserved and used however since its at your home i would imagine only a few games are played at a time so thats a lot of electricity and real estate used considering most games would stay at idle most of the time. Also does shutting the power down each night damage the machines more from constant restarting or do you leave the power on all night? I've noticed public arcades always leave machines on all night while they're closed and not wanting restarting the machines every night is the reason i figured why the do that.
That Deluxe Space Invaders cabinet is fantastic. Don't think I've seen the fancier ones like that since they were new in the arcades in the late 70's. How come your games are in silent mode? It would be so much cooler to see them in demo mode so that you have a symphony of retro sound mixed like you can only get in a collection.
Arkanoid, Arkanoid II Revenge of DOH, and Arkanoid Returns are all fun games (the latter on Taito F3 hardware). Your Konami 4 player cabinet is missing Mystic Warriors, runs on the same engine Sunset Riders runs on, so it could run well, unlike Moo Mesa. I'd say you need a Puyo Puyo (preferably Tsuu or Sun, and Magical Drop III), but not sure you're into puzzle games, and they could be on the cabinet that has all those games on it. The KoF's from 94-03 should be on that Neo Geo 161 in 1 cart, though Neowave and XI run on Atomiswave, and 98UM and 02 UM run on their own unique hardware. But that Arkanoid II sitdown cocktail is a thing of beauty. Last cocktail i saw was in San Antonio, Texas, at a Game Over shop, Space Invaders Part II. It was a sexy little cabinet.
One of the very best arcade cabinets collection i've seen so far. If i had to choose between all arcades i played back in the day , i would pick around 95 % of all those machines. The only one really missing for me (and that's a very personnal opinion) is the Atari star wars arcade. But for the rest, most of them would be in my top priority list. Especially the MK ones obviously. Needless to say, i am jalous too.
Would you be kind enough to tell me exactly what kind of hardware is running inside your mame cabinets ? (Vs Super Mario / X-men). What kind of PC hardware config is inside each of them and what frontend you use, (hyperspin or Maximus arcade? ) I built my own arcade cabinet last summer, its a nintendo blue donkey kong retrofited into a Mario bros cabinet replica. Exactly like yours. And i am currently using retropie/raspberry pie 3, (which is perfect for the original Mario bros version and many classic games like Ms Pac-Man, galaga, but i can't run games like MK2 or Nhl open ice properly) so i'm looking forward to upgrade it to something more powerful, similar to what you seem to have in those mame cabs. Or... i might end up building myself a second cabinet this summer, the ultimate MK2 cabinet... who knows ! Thanks in advance.
I just bought my first Arcade Street Fighter today and I'm wondering is there a group or form I can join to find people that have the same interest in arcades as me. you have the best arcade room I've seen!!
Thank you very much I might buy one for my birthday when I have money, also your videos are amazing, Mortal Kombat is one of my all time favorite video game series, I run a MK fan channel where I play the games and do fatality tutorials and other stuff. Keep up the good work man!
Mike if you are interested in at least 1 more shooter game, you should definitely add House of the Dead. Can't go wrong and you could make it a dedicated cab with all 4 House of the Dead games in it
Thanks! I sold them because I never played them. I added them to the Street Fighter Mame, so I can still play them if I want to since it's the same button layout.
Awesome collection and you being the arcade authority on RU-vid. Just a quick question, im a bit of a noob when it comes to electrical concerns. But how do you run that high of a volume of games simultaneously? Thanks for all your support over the years!
@@YourMKArcadeSource ok got it, awesome Thank you! Just one more quick question. I remember being in the arcades at 13 years old playing MK1. I was playing as a raiden, and I performed a torpedo on my opponent and saw raiden go off the screen to the right. Like the screen could not keep up with his movement. It was quite cool, and was wondering if you ever heard of this possible glitch. As always Thank you again for your amazing content!
Ah, San Francisco RUSH... There's a 2049 arcade machine, but the second RUSH didn't get an arcade port, since it was a Nintendo 64 only port. Would you be able to do a playthrough of RUSH: The Rock? Because I would like to see how you do on it.
Nice arcade collection! Believe it or not, I played the original Street Fighter II (World Warrior version) on a real arcade machine in the arcades at Hersheypark, while I played the original Mortal Kombat game on a Global Arcade Classics multi-game cabinet at the Coliseum. I made some videos of those as well. I can send you these videos if you like. :)
I see what you mean. I was going to put an arcade together, but instead ended up buying an X-Arcade Tankstick, and hooking it up to a bigscreen HDTV and a MAME PC with a decent sound system. It's better on the wallet, saves space, and my guests appreciate a soft leather couch instead of standing up or bar stools. I still may do one arcade machine just for nostalgia but that's it.
I’m these conditions thousands. So many collectors now. The good thing is these are now being saved and restored , bad thing is they are locked up in peoples basement where they will never be seen again except videos like this.
@@davidrockefeller2007 a buddy of mine knew a guy with a mk3 arcade and was looking to get rid of it because he was moving..the cabinet isn't in the best shape but the buttons and joysticks are good and screen is good...just a lil fucked up on the side.
No. They are hardly ever all on at the same time. I only turn on the individual game I want to play. They really don't make a dent. They'd all have to be on for hours at a time to make a difference.
I have mk1 mk2 and umk3 I don't really care for mk4 I don't like the 3d I might just get the pcb just to have it lol but that looks awesome nice arcade games
