Watch as Mike Murray and I save at least a few arcade machines and parts from an old condemned pool hall. We couldn't save them all but we were able to get a few out. Watch until the end...
Devastating to see the crossbow and qbert destroyed. When my parents first bought their house 25 ish years ago there was a collapsed garage and the only thing holding the roof somewhat up was a burger time arcade. It was just like the crossbow as it was rained on for years and the only thing that could be recovered was the marquee. The boards were destroyed and the monitor was cracked.
Holy cow guys, this is a jackpot. Those pin's, man would've loved have a chance at those. Can't wait to see Gyruss on the floor. So glad you managed to salvage some of the hardware from those roached cabs.
Such a rare & Kool find! I came across a container full of games but most were water damaged. I pulled out a MAD PLANETS missing parts but a guy restored it to better than new shape!
Great video & congrats on the Gyruss, it looks to be in nice shape. Make sure the games you keep don’t have any termites. I’ve done my share picking through places,warehouses,garages,barns,etc. just like that in the past. My buddy actually fell through the 2nd floor in a trashed warehouse, luckily he was ok. Fun times, keep up the awesome videos!
In my best Rod Stewart singing voice: 🎵 Some guys have all the luck 🎶 Can't wait to see what you do with the rest of the cabs you are keeping. And stop taking so long to post vids!
Out of Commission for 30 years!! Imagine Humans went Extinct .then some Aliens dropped by in 20000 years and they powered up Some Video Game not played in that Period of time.
This was cool! Hope your tetanus shots are up to date though. 😂 in all seriousness though, cool find. Too bad they were left to rot for so long. Awesome that the Gyruss cab still fired up!

Over a game?

That racing game was made in the 70's. I believe it was called, "Drag Racing."
You're close, it's actually Drag Race.
That's crazy it still works. Can't wait to see it on the floor.
My inner child cries for those poor deteriorated Q*Bert & Crossbow cabinets. But thank The Gods that Gyruss Cabinet was still working.

Floors? We don't need no stinking floors!
Crazy. Makes you wonder when the last time the pool hall and the cabs were active. Looks long abandoned.
From little research that was done it was 1993ish

Nice score that gyruss is a good game, good shape. Good find
Thank you for saving those games, always wished I could own a original arcade game (Galaga or Pac-man) to bad qubert couldn’t be saved…
I couldn’t save the Q-Bert cabinet but I took everything I could save off of it.
@@ElectricStarshipArcade ya I know but still kinda sad to see a classic like that..
@@G.M.C2005 agreed
I'm subscriber number 800 now! Just came across your channel and gonna check out some of the older ones
Thank you so much! We really appreciate it!
How do you stumble across a find like this?!?! Amazing
@@gregmitchell5334 somebody tipped us off that knew that we would save some of them.
Loved Gyruss, played it every time I went to Mr Gaties.

It’s like an episode of American Pickers
Gyruss is a fun one. I enjoyed the nes version.
I'll take it all day (for the right price of course) What was the story on the Phoenix, at the 2:37 minute mark?
That poor Phoenix looked like it had floated down a river. The floor was so bad I couldn't get too close.
@@ElectricStarshipArcade Bummer! I used to love Phoenix. The local StopNGo had one for awhile.
@@VIC-20_Synthwave yeah that game was at the beginning of my arcade addiction. I will own one some day. Some day!
@@ElectricStarshipArcade I would have built a bridge to get to it lol. Thanks for taking the time to share
Looks good for a 40 year old game!
Were they going to remodel the building or demo it?
@@perfectmachinegames complete demo
Nice bro
Nicely done! Where was this place or is that Secret Squirrel stuff?
It was a place out in Trenton,TX
@@ElectricStarshipArcade Glad you got what you could out of them. So sad to see them just left to rot. :(
That is so special
Not the crossbow😢 why of all games did the crossbow was destroyed. Also so sad that the qbert is aswell

What happens to pinball games? Congrats from Portugal.
The person who informed me about the games had already claimed them.
