My heart cries over the nostalgia of when arcades ruled our summers! I miss the 80s and 90s...
I'll never forget walking into the local skating rink when I was like 7 years old and seeing that TMNT arcade cabinet sitting there surrounded by older boys who.were all bigger tham me. I whimpered to my older cousin who brought me, "Can I play that one?". After the place cleared out a bit I got a swing at it, and thus an obsession was born!
Mannn RIP Video arcades. I never got to experience this cuz I grew up in the 90's but the closest thing we got to it is Dave n busters, two arcade bars and some Arcade revival event that comes every now and then in RI
Dave and busters? Complete crap!!
The one nice thing about being as old as I am ... rise of the arcades? I LIVED it!
I came of age in this era. It wasn't just arcades. It was the also the 1, 2, 3, or 4 machines that inhabited spaces within every pizza joint, convenience store, bowling alley, flea market, etc. Those were the best for socializing with each other because we weren't distracted by girls, adult minders, etc. Vice versa for the girls. Ditto for every social group/class.
We'd play and talk, and talk and play for hours. Great fun and extremely beneficial for all involved. Good times.
Arcade games were also a great uniter as well. Two social groups (Say, jocks and non-jocks, etc.) might come together in some way at one or the other's favorite hangout and play arcade games. A friendly class of cultures with friendly and competitive arcade game play at the center of it. Great fun.
The 80s: Lived it. Loved it. Miss it.
and holy shit!!! I just saw Norm the gaming historian in one of your videos! Dude I think I love you now.
Just awesome :)
I miss the cocktail cabinet's. They should bring those back.. everywhere.
I miss arcades...
When did this become a channel of clips??
I miss the arcades
I wish I was around in the 80s when arcades was huge. The only good arcade place that is near me in the east cost is funspot arcade. If I lived in the same state as funspot I would be going there every weekend. I just wish there was more arcades nowadays.
00:24 Friar Tuck makes an appearance
Soon after the start of arcades, parents from around the U.S. would join together to ban arcades in small towns, even to go as far as saying that small stores couldn't even have one game. In my home town they didn't allow a game in your shop unless you sold food or drink.
Parents and older people everywhere were so frightened that kids enjoy something that isn't work or school, or playing outside.
I always called them PAAC, or parents against anything cool.
That's always the case when something new becomes popular among the younger generation. More recently, internet dating. That used to be seen as weird and desperate, now it's very common and seen as a useful tool for meeting someone. And even further back than video games and arcades, reading was actually seen as a dangerous epidemic among youth, brainwashing them and withdrawing them from social activities.
Anybody can tell me who's that guy @ 1:50?
Sadly there aren't many arcades left.
I watched this and I forgot charge back forward ended.
Now I wish that I was born in the 1970s.
Serious question: Are Pat and Ian like... Dating or something? It seems they spend a lot of time together... Maybe they're just good friends, but still, it makes me wonder maybe they're more than just friends (?)
Old school arcades and pre ragamuffin Ian.
0:29 Tom Morello?
WTF did Ian do to his hair?

You know, I'm all for Pat being featured in this series because of his insights & humor, but having to watch his creepy boyfriend sitting next to him, glaring and staring at him lovingly during his segments is just.. disturbing & obnoxious..
