PatmanQC At Galloping Ghost - The World's Largest Arcade! - 981 arcade games! 

PatmanQC is currently the heart of vintage gaming.

Another great thing about Galloping Ghost is that you just need to keep your receipt and they let you come and go all day. I like to marathon for 4-5 hours, eat at Culver's just down the street, then come back and see how much more I can take. My personal best is 8 hours of gaming in one day! The cabinets where you play seated become a real life saver.

Incredible. Thanks for sharing. Nice to see you on the other side of the camera too!

I had an awesome time hanging out! Thank you so much 👊

Patman , I love the subtle humor and euphemisms. By far the most insightful, intelligent and tongue in cheek commentary on retro games. Thank you for everything you've done.

Love your videos, My late wife always enjoyed watching them together, she loved video games as much as I do. Keep up the good work Patman

My old home state was born in IL, raised in chicago went to Brookfield Zoo once a year growing up and love knowing Galloping Ghost is part of that town.❤😂

Aw man.. you're so lucky! This is where they have the unreleased Beavis & butthead cabinet.

Great video sir, I live about 10 minutes away and go there quite often. This place is amazing.

A PatmanQC Special?! Thanks for your great videos.💯

Man oh man, I can't wait till I get a chance to go to the arcade. I'm totally jealous🥺

Dude, at 11:20 I can't believe that's an actual Bloody Wolf machine like the real deal! That was not released for us here in the US and from what I heard it was rare even in Europe and Japan where it was released at in the late 80's. We finally did get the Turbo Grafx 16 version ported to the Wii I think in 2007 but to date the Arcade version has never formally been released outside of the arcade. Aside from of course playing the games I could see myself just gawking at all the awesome cabinet artwork and marquees that all look like they originally did with no noticeable modifications. Then an exclusive level of NARC at 12:07 has me at a loss for words. Then woah wait...Time Soldiers at 14:22! It's been 30 years since I've seen that machine back when my old barber had one at his barbershop in the corner. Thanks for sharing the memories and it's making me want to save money and plan a weekend trip out of town. 😎

Pat, I am so impressed that you don’t let your condition keep you from enjoying these timeless Arcade classics. As for this venue, I am jealous. I live thousands of miles away from this place.

Pilgrimage is absolutely right - I can't wait to go one of these days. Thanks for bringing a little of it to the interwebs, for all to see.

You are a positive role model. Ppl get negative and thank you for being a positive person. I figured out my issues. All good man thank you Patman.

I would kill to go there, but i dont think the missus would allow me to holiday there. Seeing as it would involve a long flight from london lol. Great video as per 👏. Keep up the great work my friend 🧡.

I been to that arcade before during my visit in Chicago. I didnt want to leave once I entered the place. The Spawn arcade game was also on Dreamcast.

Yeah! This is so great. The enthusiasm shines through the footage. So glad you got to check it out! Kid ina candy store,huh? 😎 Oh,I would be too!⚡️

This place is crazy so many games and alot I never even heard of, I gotta visit here someday, glad you got a chance to go

Im in central IL and ive been trying to get up there for years. That place does look like a slice of fried gold.

I've been there. It's insane just how big it is!

I visited them 2 years ago. There were so many games I spent a half hour just walking around in amazement looking at things having no idea what to play first. I was able to play sit-down Sega Rad Mobile for the first time in many years I don't know if you saw it when you were there. Played Disks of Tron for the first time also, no arcade I grew up with ever had that one. Apparently the rare cabinet version of DOT is considered one of the best ever made/ most underrated arcade game ever.

We definitely had an awesome time and the fans seem to like seeing you in action and playing !

980 machines? Imagine having this as your local arcade back in the 80s/90s. Your brain would explode.

You showed me ppl can adapt thank tou it means the world to me. We all can learn from you. Don't stop we all take for granted. You are the man Patman.

I feel so sad that my kids will never be able to experience that excitement. I used to get up on Saturday. My mom would drop me off at Herbs arcade. They had at 7 am a 5 hour play for 20 dollars. Next door was a burger place with dollar burgers. This video takes me back to those days and amazing times. The burger place was called Archie’s. Every Saturday. I would finish my gaming fun with a double burger with cheese and fries. That place was the first time I saw Tecmo Bowl.

i grew up in a pinball arcade so Q-Bert was my 1st arcade game i ever played in 1982! At 12 minutes 37 seconds in to see Jeff Lee the artist of many Arcade games & to see his signature was truly amazing for Q-Bert! I've never seen so many arcade games in one place i'll have to make a trip to Galloping Ghost Arcades in the future! Thanks for sharing Patman! Truly Amazing!

OMG I would be in heaven. Too bad I can't get down there, but maybe one day. Amazing! Thanks for sharing.

This is so awesome! I'll have to visit next time I'm out in Illinois!

I had no idea you are a quadruple amputee. Amazing work on playing the games! Impressive.

Galloping Ghost is one of my favorite places to go. Any gane you can think of, they have. They've gotten so big, they had moved their pinball machines to another building. It's arcade heaven for sure!

I got misty eyed when you mentioned pinball. My favorites were Bride of Pinbot, Attack on Mars, Theater of Magic, and The Lost World Jurassic Park.

Kool video man. I was there 2 days after you guys were. I set a new house high on gun.smoke and pandora's palace! The GGA is a lotta fun. Looks like you had a good time. The area where mat mania is located, is his most recent expansion.

Love these Galloping Ghost walkthroughs. Sometimes I see an uncommon game that I played in my youth but have forgotten about until I see someone film it in one of these walkthroughs and then my mind gets blown.

Was there last year, hoping to get back to it again this year. There was a moment there where I closed my eyes and just listened to all the background noise of the machines running and was transported back in time to the 80/90s.

Glad to see a fellow QC native do an episode here. Did one back in 2017, and Doc is one of the greatest people I've met!

definitely glad you went there. i went there a few years ago. it's legit better than advertised. the rare games, the prototypes, the formerly unreleased stuff. when i was there, there were even more games they were working on to get back into action. so many games its almost overwhelming, but worth the price. the kind of place only patman could cover properly

Gotta appreciate someone who loves a classic like Mat Mania.

Love going to Galloping Ghost. I'm from the Chicagoland Area and come there everytime I'm back in the city.

This was an awesome video. Definitely takes me back to my childhood. There's a place in Hopewell, Pennsylvania called pinball PA. I think it's called. It's got a huge selection of pinball and video games too and there's a place in Girard, Ohio That's pretty amazing but nothing can touch galloping ghost.

Happy! little games …

I wanted to see you play for years, thanks for showing on camera. You look cyberpunk to me and that is cool.

Galloping Ghosts. One of the last road trips I took with my mother was to Chicago just to visit Galloping Ghosts. It took us much longer to drive though and this was back 2017.. Mom spent most of her time there on Donkey Kong, Ms. Pacman, and Super Mario Brothers. I spent longer there because I took an Uber back after we returned to the hotel. I mainly played Bucky O'Hare (The reason I wanted to go there, GI Joe, and the original Star Wars Arcade game (Also the first video game I ever played on my first run then ran through Punisher, and a bunch of Lightgun games on my second run.

Fellow QC guy here and I watch your videos often. I WISH Analog and Analog II would get more games, it's looking pretty sparse nowadays. Nothing like it was when they first opened. Cheers from Rock Island.

I’m in Chicago about 18 minutes away from Galloping Ghost and you make me want to go there again tonight!

I LOVE that old school "TV special" intro!!

Let's talk about that amazing shirt you had on, very cool. Galloping Ghost looks like an awesome place but a bit too far for me. Also I love these kinds of videos Pat, keep them coming!

I love you patmanQC!! your vintage game channel is second to none !!

Love your humour, Patman!! Looks like you had a great time. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

Good to see the person behind the epic RU-vid videos at last, more like this please!

Wow you were here and I didn’t know? I wish I knew. Would have been great to meet you Patman. I love the Ghost and frequent it often as it is right outside my hometown of Chicago. Guys if you ever get the chance you have to check it out.

Brilliant video, we need more PatmanQC on camera.

This is the one where you dismember people...take my word for it! 🤣 You sir, have a sense of humor second to none!

PatmanQC walking into his and many of our childhood time capsule of bliss. Man...what a great place!!Thanks! Awesome video!

Really great video about this pilgrimage site. I for one am glad there are other people that grew up in arcades and make content like this. I made the trip myself not too long ago and it was great to get a really in depth tour to see the changes and your favs. Dont miss out on this arcade or the diner down the street if you like corned beef hash

Yes!! That SPECIAL animation has got me pumped for this video.

Really cool to see you so excited Pat! I have family not far from there, my next summer trip home I need to stop in there! Tons of amazing arcade games, Seeing Sonic Championship was cool! Though never released outside of Japan we’d eventually get a copy of it for the GameCube and PS2! So awesome you met up with PD7, I subbed to him after Milwaukee! Oh man White Castle! The BatMan arcade is glorious, so cool you got to play it!!! Oh dude, the John Wick joke is awesome my friend! Thank you lol ❤️🎮

Dood, I miss having arcades like this around. We had one in our college town, but it didn't last long. I'm definitely going to check this place out next time I go to Chicago!

Love the cbs special bumper at the start. Galloping has some great stuff like sailor moon, three stooges and pac and pal you don't see everywhere. Kind of surprised they don't have a playchoice 10, radarscope, vs goonies, vs ice climbers, spot the arcade game and avengers galactic storm yet.

It’s on my bucket list to make it out to galloping ghost

That was an amazing video PMQC im from the uk and could only dream of having a place like that over here as thay say only in America ❤❤❤

Absolutely POWERFUL!!!

I hope to one day to visit this amazing nostalgia house. I think I would have tears of joy if I am able too.

Wow. What an amazing place. Sure wish I could teleport.

Awesome!🙌 Thanks for showing

One of these days you should check out the video game museum in Texas. It's a trek, but that would be a great video Thank you for taking us on the road with you. Your videos are so light hearted and always puts a smile on my face.....like Gotham City to the Joker

Great video! Thanks for the tour! Its always nice to see you on camera!

Thanks for making this video! I've never been able to visit Galloping Ghost, so it is cool to see what it is like from this video!

Wonderful video and loved the guest appearance by PD7 … he’s the real deal! Thanks 👊🏻

Awesome to watch Patman in his natural habitat 🙂 Love to see that you had a great time ! I need very good reasons to leave my cave, but Galloping Ghost definately would be an exception to the rule. (if it would be located in "my" city across the pond)

I love this video.; although, there were no mentions of queefs. I'm going to have to go check this out when I can.

Just AWESOME !!!! I wish that I could get there one day .

Thank you for the great video.

I’ve been to The Fun Spot in NH, but I’ve always wanted to go to Galloping Ghost. They need a copy Polybius to make it complete. LOL! BTW you are an inspiration to everyone, keep living your best life, sir…

Thanks for another great video, Pat!

That's awesome!

Just ran into a Centipede machine a couple of weeks ago. Man! The body language wears you out. I'd forgotten about that! Kids these days have it easy sitting in chairs the whole time!

Don't have money anytime soon to go there, but at some point within the next year will see my brother in Vermont and will trek over to Laconia, NH for Funspot! Only an hour and a half trip!

WC. Fl. Lol. Glad to see you having fun. Wish I had time to hit up ghost.

Wow so cool buddy , I wanna go next time

On a more serious note, let us recognize that to bring us this footage of Arcade Mecca, Patman and Crew risked being one of three hungry men binging on White Castle before their road trip home. Thank you, Gentlemen. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten.

Thank you for your channel. Your passion shows in every video and your comments. You’re one of the few people, I believe, has no hate towards any particular system and just shares your opinions. Hope that makes sense. Thank you for what you do.

Patman is the dude.

Ohhhh nice only a 5 hr drive from me I got to check this out. Thx pmqc

Fantastic work, PatmanQC. I've got Patman fever. I'm going outta my mind. Woukd love to go there.

Simply awesome!!!!!

You did the best of the best of arcades. I want to go there.

That Judge Dredd game looked cool. Usually when I go to FunSpot the only one I end up playing are my old favorites or usually just , Q-Bert, Burgertime, pinball… I used to play that Jackie Chan fighting game often. Wow! Lots of games I have never seen! That Bevis and Butthead looked cool.

Patman you are the best!! Another gem

Patman and the Galloping Ghost..2 retro icons

this was such a pleasure to watch! what a coool location

You are one of the most likeable genuine content creators on what can sometimes be a cesspool of hate that is RU-vid.

PatmanQC needs to work in that arcade or better, live in it! ;)

Cool tour of this giant arcade with most of the classic arcade games (many no doubt restored in some ways) and helpful interview too. Thanks, Patman! I'd be playing Samurai Shodown 2, Joust, Ms. Pac-Man, Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Tron, Golden Axe, and many more. I wonder if it's a flat rate and then you can just press play for any game rather than quarters. Yes, $25. Cool.

I have been to the Galloping Ghost Arcade since the end of 2018.

Listening to you speak about games is so awesome! Makes me want to play along!!! Thanks for your amazing content

That place looks like a whole lotta fun, thanks for sharing.

I saw the beginning and I was like: Yay a peanuts cartoon!

This video is fantastic! Thank you PatmanQC for showcasing all these amazing retro cabinets. It was great just hearing all the sounds from the games as you were walking down the isles. I love new age gaming, but nothing beats the feel of going to an arcade and being around other gamers.

Patman, did you ever make a video on Namco's 1985 shmup Sky Kid? The other day I went to look it up because it was SURE you had already, but alas, it wasn't on your channel. Not sure if I'm misremembering, it was wishful thinking, it got taken down, or if the 'Mandela Effect' struck this dimension again. Anyway, thanks for letting us join you on this incredible pilgrimage!
