@@HippoBytes oh man, I forgot about Pickaxe Pete! I liked Showdown 2099 and KC Munchkin and thus space shooter one who’s title escapes me right now. My uncle loves telling the story about how he came to visit us and he was waiting for his turn at KC Munchkin but I kept playing and playing and never lost a life. He just couldn’t believe how good I was until my dad pointed out I had used the level editor to trap the ghosts!
Enjoyed the tour! We're looking for this exact same carpet and having a devil of a time finding a local carpet installer who has a wholesaler relationship with Joy Carpets so we can get some - and I'm in the same state as the manufacturer! (For anyone looking, the carpet is specifically "Joy Carpets Space Explorer Fluorescent" - while Lowe's has some other neon carpets from that manufacturer, Space Explorer is NOT one of them.)
This is really. I’ve been on the fence about going this route vs original cabinets and the headaches that come with that. I should just do this and be done with it and happy.
I'd certainly recommend it. Affordable and a bit more compact to fit more. Plus those original cabinets...You never know when its the last time they'll turn on each time you fire them up.
RUclips goes overboard with this copyright stuff. Most important thing is people watch the video it and showing us how the game works. play on brother.
Really nice setup. I hope I can setup my room as nice as yours one day. Unfortunately most of my cabinets are vintage and I spend all of my time keeping them up and going.
Yeah, the vintage is rough to keep up, you never know when it's its "last time" every time you fire one up ;) plus they take up a lot more room! Now if Arcade 1up can just make a Tron cabinet!

Thanks!! It’s actually installed carpet. But here is a very similar rug www.wayfair.com/rugs/pdp/joy-carpets-fluorescent-abstract-tufted-fluorescent-area-rug-w001858463.html
The lights are super affordable on amazon, both LED's along the ceiling and blacklights. The carpet also comes in rugs. Put a couple 1up's in a room with that and you're done! (watch FB marketplace for good deals on 1ups - I get mine fore average $150)
Thanks! I had a local carpet company install. They had a "neon carpet" book to choose from. But if you Google "neon carpet" or even "space neon carpet" you will get a lot of results. I see that pattern in rugs too: nurayhome.com/products/area-rug-fluorescent-space-explorer-area-rug-rgavq-3758
You can set up a Routine in the Alexa app. One action is to "Say" and you can type what ever you want. I have a routine where I say "Alexa, Intruder alert" and red lights come on, the Imperial theme starts playing, and at volume 10 Alexa starts saying "Resistance is futile".
❤️👍👍😁 I KNOW YOU SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON CARPET BRO!! Haha 😂 I just bought Arcade room Neon Glow Blacklight Carpet and I just spent $1,400!!!!!! Haha 😂 to fill my Garage I’ve turned into Arcade1up Game Room! Hahahahaha LoL 😆 Carpet is THEE MOST EXPENSIVE ITEM IN MY GAMEROOM!!! Haha 😂
its too bad the arcade1up machines can't auto-boot into a game (or at least pick one at random after a period of time). Not that its a huge chore, but prolly tedious to always pick a game once they power on.
@@HippoBytes ah yes. It does! But, it’ll boot the first game on the list. Can’t predetermine which one it does. Would rather my MK cab boot into Ultimate MK3 than MK1

Very cool game room, love the carpet as well! 😎
Thanks! I think the carpet makes the whole thing. :)
I remember the space arcade carpet from the concord, ca sunvalley mall arcade in 1993. I recognized it immediately
Yes! Gosh I miss those old arcades.
Pretty sweet! I still have our Odyssey 2,in the box, at my parents’. Been meaning to get a converter so I can play it on my TV.

Great arcade! Only recommendation is some blackout curtains.
Great idea. I never really thought about that since I primarily use the arcade at night.
Looks amazing!!
The novelty has still not worn off.
Daaaang Hippo that's pretty SWEET! I love a bunch of your ideas! I currently have 5 arcade 1 up's and more on the way!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked.

Ive got the same carpet in my arcade room =D looks good!

I have a 3do I never knew there was a mod available for it like that! Cool
Yeah, I've been playing the heck out of it since I modded - search MNEMO 3DO

haha thanks!
This is fucking HUGE! I am 10/10 jealous AF. One day Janet will allow me to do some wild stuff like this.
Haha! Well, you have your awesome work out room ;)
Great arcades!
Thank you!
I remember that every arcade near me had that same style of carpet/black lights and a strange lemon scented incense.
Putting lemon scented incense on the list, haha! Was it a smoking allowed arcade?
@@HippoBytes Not that I remember. It was in a mall, so probably not.
so cool man im inspired
Thanks!
Awesome. Do you have a link for the blacklights and the lights trimming the ceiling?

How do you get Alexa with the custom command??? "Game On" that was cool

Light it up radio from pandora. Thanks for activating my Alexa! Lol

mine too ;)
Hello I'm curious. What is the size of your TV connected to the wii?
ahhh I keep forgetting to look when I'm up there. I want to guess 42. When I remember to look, I'll update ;)
