Thanks to Scott for showing me around his amazing collection of retro goodness . If you’d like to see it for yourself the best way is to check out the website LongLiveThe80s or search Weiners and Losers
@TheDailyWoo if you are a fan of The Last Starfighter , Arrow Video did a really great restored Blu ray of the film. It comes with new bonus features and the commentaries are amazing, one of them is Lance Guest and his son . It is beautifully restored.
I’m sorry, but I would not want anyone staying there. Folks are gonna steal that stuff. Those systems are quite valuable. Is that guy Julian Assange’s brother??
Search Weiners and Losers lol ?? Ya know I am also an 80s freak and I've been living right nextdoor to Winston-Salem in Pinnacle NC only 15 minutes away and never even knew about this place. That's what the cool arcades used to look like back when I was a teen. I gotta find this place.
When I was a kid in the 80’s I loved the sound of midway arcade in circus circus Las Vegas I’d just sit there with my eyes rolled back taking it all in Can you imagine a thousand arcade games blaring at once ?
I had a blast hosting you Adam and you can rest easy knowing after you left I shut down the flux capacitor and adjusted the time circuits so there should be no disruption in the time continuum making our journey to 1984 truly, in the past.
I worked in an arcade back in the middle 1980's. The ambient sounds of all those machines running with no one there is music to my ears. What a great place.
@@holyflame2 Arcades died during the PS1 era where you could have near arcade perfect ports in the home of the new 3D generation of games. Arcades used to be the next gen looking games compared to home systems. When it went to 3D the arcades and cabs became too gimmicky and expensive. So it was a mass of House of the Dead style shooting, 3D driving, and fighting games, with silly skiing/gimmick games. Only the fighting games had the simple joystick type. The others were expensive cabinets and there were so many of the same genres being released it was hard to recoupe the money spent on the cab
Man...I wish this place wasn't 2,500 miles away! Such a great job w/ the 80s nostalgia. One day when I get out to east coast I'd love to stay for a night 👍
Are you kidding me! You mean to tell me that metal Jesus the legend himself is also a fan of Adam the woo? This is freaking awesome. Seeing all of us old dudes just geeking out for this stuff really really makes me feel good.
Looking at this Airbnb brought a tear to my eye. That place has my childhood represented. Posters, video games, and even the clock from Back to the Future.
In 1984, 10 of us missed our school bus pickup because our friend was near breaking the Star Castle high score at a little company store that had a small arcade in the back. We all still talk and laugh about it to this day. Man, what a great time to be a kid!
I attended Penn State in 88-89. I would skip physics class several times a month to go to the mall & hang out at the arcade nearly all day before going home.
This was a killer episode/vlog. Loved it. It took me back to the early 80's. - We had a Roses Department Store in my town. - Scott seemed like a cool dude. A laid back kind of individual.
Adam, man! This is truly the coolest place on earth. I will literally buy a plane ticket to go there. That arcade is literally my dream. Thanks so much for sharing!
I LOVE his heart. He should train volunteers to help him run this the other Saturdays or maybe Thursday nights when people are looking for things to do. I get that he doesn't want to raise prices on the locals, but I have a feeling he is about to have a wait list a few months out from people willing to travel to get there.
That is amazing, I'm so impressed that this guy has all that stuff, in such good condition, and he opens this experience to the public. It makes me want to visit North Carolina.
As two Gen-Xers, this is amazing to see. Reminds me so many times of my childhood! Seeing the games in a nearby bowling alley or a Pizza Hut (back when you could be served at the restaurant)... Man. So good! I had a ton of these games on a bunch of floppy disks for my Atari as well. LOL.
My dad was a TV repairman and when Atari for TV came it, his employer let him take one home to "try it out." We were the most popular house on the block. I still love video games and still play. My son is a gamer and manages three arcades.
I love playing the games Scott has there, I've been going there for years now. One cool thing about the Journey game is once you collect all the band members instruments, they play a mini concert from a cassette in the machine. That too is a level because you play a bouncer trying to keep the crowd away from the band if not the crowd rushes the stage and you start over but on a higher difficulty.
You look like you were having so much fun. Reliving your childhood. I am 45 myself and I couldn’t stop smiling every time you would show a game. Good times.....
I've known Scott from back when our bands shared the bill at a local club a few times. His band, Scott Leftwich & The Atarians, is still putting out music. They would set their merch booth up and have TVs with Atari sets ready to play, it was a trip how they went all-in on the branding. Years after I gave up playing live, he was kind enough to invite me over to Wieners & Losers and has done so several times. It's a blast, I heavily recommend anyone local in the area get on the email list and book a time to come visit. Also, I love ATW and have been watching for years. This made my day to see you were in my backyard, Adam. Thanks for all the content you do and special thanks for shining a light on Scott!
The only thing he's missing is blacklight paint designs on the walls, overhead neon lights, 80's arcade carpeting, and music playing. Very cool place! Salute
Wow this was amazing what a Time warp treat for those of us who are 80s kids Wouldn’t it be great to travel back in time to a decade like the 80s and just hang out there as long as you wanted and get away from all the craziness and uncertainty of today
I love that he didn't make it look fancy. It has the dank feel of a 80s/90s arcade. I could just sit there and listen to all those games in their attract mode for hours
Adam, I have been following your channel for a few years and you are on fire right now! How you showcase what is truly America and the best of our people is truly amazing! This video hit home with me as a child of the 80's and a NC resident. Keep up the great work and looking forward to the next one!
That seems like a cool place 😎. That's good of him to feed people so they don't pass out and they can stay longer and play games. Thanks for sharing this Adam.
Dude.. that place was CRAZY! as an 80's kid I gotta go there one day before I die! Total bucket list thing now. That place is the closet thing you can get to the 1980's without jumping in the DeLorean from Back to the Future. MAJOR MAJOR props to that guy & his wife for just being able to have & maintain all that stuff & then to have the heart ❤️ to share it with other people to give us 40 & 50 year Olds a way to relive our youth. Damn! Bravo 👏 & thank you Adam for sharing this too!
Bring a monthly visitor to Scott’s collection, Scott is a great guy and really is preserving the art of the 80s. A great place to go and worth a visit!!!
OMG! This is heaven for me! I used to work in an arcade in Philly when I was attending college. Most of these games bring back so many memories of days gone by. It's a shame we can't bring those days back, but you managed to give us a little taste of it. (Actually...a BIG taste). Looks like everything about the 80s was captured here. It's like going back in time...literally! I would love to visit that place and camp out for one night. Thanks for posting.
I’m an eighties kid myself Adam and I’m lucky enough to own a handful of arcade games, but nothing like this!!!! I live about 3 hours or so from Wieners and Losers so I’ll be checking this place out. Thanks for this!!! Wow!!!
Me and my wife stayed here and without a doubt one a the coolest things I've ever got to experience. Think of those old videos of women freaking out and fainting over the Beatles I never truely got that, but now I do! It's so much to take in I was dumbfounded. Could a have just walked around for hours just looking....if you are reading this you must check it out while it's available Too cool! Scott is a great host ,couldn't say enough positive things about this .
This guy is on to something. Air BNBs themed by decade is amazing. Sleep in an 50s, 60s, 70s, 80, 90s theme room in a building themed the same decade. Amazing.
What a trip down memory lane! That would be worth checking out and skipping a park day. Yes, we can all play these games via emulation at home-but nothing beats the actual arcade machine experience. Those machines are in fantastic condition the marques and side art are all fully intact, which is rare to see in this day and age. I really enjoyed this video.
Adam, you are just on fire right now with these vlogs! I was born and raised in NC and have lived in Myrtle Beach over 30 years and just love what you are doing. Keep up the great work!
Wow! What a awesome collection! Nice original games, not a bunch of conversions. Timber, Pengo, Sinistar!!Even has a Space Fury! In the mid 90’s I started collecting machines, my 2 car garage was full. The 80’s arcade scene was awesome! I still have one pinball machine left.
Both of my sons would never sleep while staying there! The games he has , like the one that was ever made!!! I’m sure you had a great time while there yourself !! Love your vlogs!!
I stayed here last night with my wife and 11 year old girl and her friend! Just a awesome place!!! They had a blast! Thanks, Adam, for showing me this!
Love this video but I must correct one thing: E.T. (among dozens of other titles) were dumped into the Alamogordo landfill because Atari didn’t want to pay for the storage warehouse anymore. So they dumped about 125,000 cartridges. That’s actually a pretty common practice and it wasn’t because E.T. was a failure. Conversely E.T. was one of the best-selling Atari cartridges selling 2.7 million copies. Just doing my part to dispel the myth. :-)
This has to be the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen Speechless so much Nostalgia I would love to spend the night there and play games all night and listen to that music .I remember faintly as a kid going to the Christina mall and seeing the Arcade games . This was back in late 80s to early 90s I’m now 34 I love everything 80s and 90s best area 🕹👾📺 I grew up playing the NES that’s were my love for video games started
OK, this place is my dream!! I'm 4 years older than you, so I was a teenager in the 80's too, and I LOVED arcade games! I wish I could go there. 👏🏻💖🏴
HEY ATW... IMPRESSIVE !! MOST IMPRESSIVE!! I am pleasantly surprised by the amount of video games this young man has surmassed and restored to their former glory! I felt like I was walking into Golfland arcade around 1982! The first game I see on your walk in was my favorite, "TEMPEST"! I must make a way to stay at this Airbnb no matter what
This place is amazing! Would love to go here! Adam you find the best places to do your videos. Thanks so much for sharing and appreciate all you do to show us all these great places and interesting people. This video series has been the best! Great work! 👍
This is incredible! And that upstairs room would definitely feel like you really did travel back in time. You could yell in at the guests and tell them to do their homework.
10 bucks and you don't need quarters? Man that's is so cool. I so wish we had something like this in Australia. Our arcades were so expensive and there's hardly anything like this left
We don't really have any arcades left in the USA either. You can sometimes find them at the Casino resort for the kids, at least that's the only places I have seen arcades in this day and age in America
@@ThePeacePlant Then you haven't been looking. Just because you don't notice something doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. There are places you drive past everyday that you don't even notice are there. How long have you been alive and still havent figured out simple things like this?
Wow... that was a blast from the past. I've never seen anything like this ever! And so much of it! This could be turned into an 80's museum someday! lol. But that wouldn't be as much fun of course! lol. Soooooo many amazingly cool games!!! WOW!!!! Just WOW! Thanks for letting me glimpse into my childhood again!
That's really amazing. In the late 80's/early 90's I used to spend a lot of time at a arcade called Van's. That arcade was in a strip mall. Two doors down was a comic book shop. It was heaven for a 10 year old.
this guy is f'ng awsome and so is his collection... i was born in 91 and still nerd out on this video. love that you are not afraid to show how much of a nerd you are adam... never stop acting young and goofy. it awsome and hilarious
My favorite part of this video is when you find that Greg had erected a makeshift campsite behind the machines and had been secretly living there for the last 27 years
YOWZAAA !! This had me drooling from the beginning to the end !!! Missle Command was my all time favorite !! Space Invaders second !! What an awesome place he has put together ! Such a passion for all things 80's !! Gotta see this place someday !! Thanks Adam ! 👏❤
I love how the owner is not greedy at all! He doesn't want to take andvantage of people. The owner genuinely wants people to enjoy his 80s possesions, stay and experience.
Absolutely amazing collection. I used to be late to get back to school after lunch because I’d love to play Zaxxon in the stand up games and Mrs. PAC-Man 😊 thanks for sharing Adam !
Just watching this I can feel the 80's vibes already! It brings back so much memories from my childhood days. That man got of hella of a collections! I would visit there one day :) Thanks for sharing this
This reminds me of the pinball machine shows they have at Ag hall in Allentown. But this is an incredible collection of arcade stand ups. The only kind to play. I remember my friends and I spending countless hours at our local 7-11 playing asteroids. Those were the days.
Awesome video. I'm 42 and my dream was to always have an arcade like this set up. The fact that all of these machines are running is really impressive considering the CRT's go out and they take a lot of maintenance to keep going. I only had a few and they took a lot of TLC. Really appreciate this guy keeping the dream of old arcades alive.
Wow my childhood right there in just half an hour. Brilliant collection Scott, you have done a great job. Thanks Adam for showing us this place. For the record I loved Space Invaders and Galaga!!
Great Vlog Adam!!! It was cool seeing your genuine excitement being there. I can totally see you and Scott being buddies past this video. I loved how you got Scott to do some of the filming too. I smiled watching this one. Brought back memories.
Wow!! Seeing this amazing collection of nostalgia makes me feel 15 years old again. Long live the 80's!! I remember the shopping store, Roses!! They've been gone for years now. Great video my friend. 🤟🎸
