Got this video on the net a few years ago and I thought I would share it here.
Wild Chicago visits the Williams factory and shows the making of The Addams Family Pinball machine and Mortal Kombat!
At last months NAVA down at Digital Press, we got to interview James Rolfe (AKA: The Angry Video Game Nerd).
We talk about some of his favorite games and favorite films.
Here is a video we put together about the Nintendo World Championship Cart at Too Many Games.
With special guests, Ed from vgXpo and TriForce from Empire Arcadia.
Here is the second part to our investigation of Tokyo Game Action/
In part two, Andy shows off the Bemani game room. This room houses one of the best collection of music games we've ever seen.
Games like Beatmania IIDX Troopers, Taiko no Tatsujin 11 and of course DDR.
(Much love to Jay and Grant and the rest of the TAPS Family)
Here's FunHouse from FunSpot in Weirs Beach New Hampshire. One of Williams classic pinball tables from designer Pat Lawlor.
Rudy looks half asleep, but it's just great to play a working FunHouse.
Here is the second part of the Funspot Tour.
This video showcases the other two floors of FunSpot.
The middle floor with the bowling ally, some 90's games, kids area (not shown) and some of the pinball and redemption machines.
Floor 1, (I called it three in the video, sorry)the lower floor has the Sega Racers, Skee-Ball, Prize Center and the Braggin' Dragon food court.
Here's a video tour of the legendary China Town Fair arcade in New York City.
They have a great selection of music games, SHMUPS, Capcom Fighters, SNK Fighters and Namco fighters.
CTF is the best place in the city to go for fighting games. The competition is awesome.
It's one of the best arcades out there.
Here is our 4th episode (which is also the 2nd part of our "3 Arcades in One Day" trilogy). Nathans use to be an amazing arcade with a row of 5+ pinball machines, a nice row of classic games, some rare gems, and some current games. You use to be able to go to Nathans Fun City and spend a whole evening eating classic Nathans hot dogs and playing old school video games, but now....
Here's the "Lost" video from our trip of the 9th Annual FunSpot Classic Arcade and Pinball tournament. Due to the file size, we couldn't put it up. But now we can finally share the video with you. A quick tour of all three floors of Funspot.
Here is the fourth part of our investigation of Tokyo Game Action.
In this part, Andy takes us on a tour of the fighting game room. Games include, Street Fighter 3 Third Stirke, Melty Blood, King of Fighters XI and of course, Marvel vs Capcom 2. (CURLY MUSTACHE!)
TGA will host their Street Fighter IV weekend on September 25-28th!
Here's a video tour of the Challenge Arcade in Reading Pennsylvania. They have a great collection of new and classic video games. They also keep their pinball in great working order as well!
Sorry for the late update, to make up for it we got 3 episodes for ya! This episode is the first of our "3 Arcades in One Day" trilogy. We hit up Nassau County on Long Island, NY pretty hard by checking out 3 lesser known Arcades. The first one is located in the basement of the Tri-County Flea Market. They have a nice "rare treat" that is worth the trip alone.
By special request, I took the old camera out and took a classic style walkthrough video of Tokyo Game Action during their Street Fighter IV Release Party.
Over 140 people came out to play SFIV and we'll have more videos of the game in the coming weeks.
(Videos of the game online do the game no justice. Find an arcade near you and try it yourself!)
Here is a video of the Ghostbusters arcade game. Yet another Ghostbusters game without Winston.
(I meant to say Heavy Barrel, not Contra in the video, sorry!)
In the final part of our Tokyo Game Action tour, we conclude with a small montage of the games in action and finally, our final thoughts.
Big thanks to Andy for his hospitality and for showing us around his amazing place. If you're a fighting game fan, you owe it to yourself to check it out!
Thanks for checking out our first show and we'll be back with more arcade adventures!
