Yup! That man-cade is well stocked with arcade goodness! Now, you need a second partycade on the other side of the stairs, to match the landing. LOL Very nicely done! Liking the jukebox, too! Thanks for sharing this. :)
You know that thought has crossed my mind! With this design you can put two PartyCades back to back! Although that might be the breaking point for my wife. 😂
@@ChicagoMikesManCaveChronicles I was thinking the same thing. With a triangular, or quadrangular mount, you could even suspend several from the ceiling, in the middle of a room. But, then... the wife, you know. LOL ;)
@@ThomasGrillo WHOA!!! 😳 That’s intense Brother! If you end up doing something like that you have to send me the link to that video or at least a picture! lol
@@ChicagoMikesManCaveChronicles Well, in my case, it would have to be a freestanding unit that would sit stand on the floor, but would resemble one of those payphone arrangements that had four phones around a pillar in the middle of a lobby I saw, decades ago. My ceiling is plaster, unfortunately. Would be cool for a portable, freestanding, compact setup for gigs, or parties. Would have to be mounted to a small floor platform, to prevent tipping, though. Maybe the footprint of an Arcade1up riser would be stable? Will keep you posted.
I got the same deal-- SlickDeals is the best! $99 for that Partycade is totally worth it, even though it only has the 5 games and Walmart can't get their shit together to put the games list on their website, but in my opinion, having Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga on one cabinet is better than the versions that have 10 games.
Ok how do you not have a ton of subscribers. Great video, pretty hilarious commentary and good info on that arcade unit I had been thinking about. Keep up the good content. Subscribed!
Thanks brother! That means a lot! I really just do this channel for fun because my kids are always nagging me I should have a RUclips channel with all the cool crap I have. I don’t have that many subscribers probably because I don’t ask people to subscribe or my channel just sucks? I feel that if somebody wants to subscribe, it’s because they truly enjoyed the channel or for the video they watched….
You seem so cool about everything ( about the wife being pissed off at you and about the high cost for the convention of living near chi town) i hope you post more
I figured for $100 you can’t go wrong. If you got the money and the space or ceiling, why not? My philosophy is: “Coffins don’t have luggage racks on them. You can’t take the money with you when you die.” That pisses my wife off when I say that! 😎
It sucks it didn’t come with a light up marquee. I ended up ordering one off of The Arcade Game Factory last night. I’m most definitely gonna do a video on that as they state that you need to transfer the bottom wooden piece off the original marquee to their new piece. Sounds like surgery to me…
@@ChicagoMikesManCaveChronicles i had the centipede partycade almost 2 years ago. I mod all the buttons and the track ball. As well as the marque. I just had to remove the top screws on the sides and the back panel. The wiring wasn't to hard to do. I follow pdubs instructions video on how to do it. My miss pacman is all black as well.
I got it off of a website called OfferUp. It was a total mess when I bought it! It had all kinds of electrical demons. I did a complete series on restoring it. ruclips.net/video/qip0639T_dM/видео.html Wife was totally pissed off when I bought it because it didn’t work, but now it’s her favorite! 😎
At some point you will probably mod or swap screen and then you can move a good one into this one. $99. You can have a arcade stool or a 5 game machine. Think my brother needs one to start upsetting his wife
Unfortunately not! All of the neighborhood kids come over to “hang” with my son in the man cave because the park is “boring”. There are so many TikTok and Snapchat videos from other people’s kids about my man cave I can’t even count. I swear parents send their kids over to my house just to snap pictures of my basement so they can see what it’s like! It’s so funny it’s almost sad.
@@ChicagoMikesManCaveChronicles I have hung these down the length of my hallway and have room for just one more. Hoping for a Q-bert or a Bezerk but like I said this is worth $99 just in parts! Love the ceiling mount btw

Hey atleast you have a basement.
Also, thanks for the idea, I’ll do that with my SF 👍
Great video Chicago Mike! Looks awesome in the man cave there 👍
Thanks 🙏

Slickdeals is the reason why my Man Cave is full of frivolous crap!
So glad I'm not the only one who makes horrible decisions. You should rename your channel to "The Bad Decisions Man Cave". Love the video!
😂
Wow love the aquarium. I'm a frivolous buyer, Wife hates me haha

the intro was hilarious 😂😂😂

Im in the same boat...living in the chicago area with an arcade problem
Just subbed brother!👍
Thanks! 👍
i got the defender, thing is awesome highly recommend
I’m currently holding out for either a Ridge Racer or Out Run in a Partycade! I know it will never happen, but it’s OK to dream….
Personally, I LOVE to piss off my wife, and I have no doubt that she would be incredibly pissed off if I bought a full-sized Whac-A-Mole!
Oh it took a long time for my wife to get over being pissed when I brought that whac-a-mole home!
Why are you complaining about the size? I would die for a room that big
I paid 199 for mines from hsn. The Marque lights up on mines. But I didn't get super pacman on mine. Mines with dig dug. Thanks for the video brother.

Rip you got the older model from walmart it only has 5 games and a bad screen washout
Wouldn’t be the first time I wasted my money on stupid crap! Thanks for the heads up though.
@@ChicagoMikesManCaveChronicles It's still fine If you got it less than 200 better than me My mom loves it though

Hopefully charge a cover charge for people to play your games

$99?
$99!
@@ChicagoMikesManCaveChronicles just the screen is worth that much
@@SoulforSale Just buy it! If you don’t have any room for it, just hang it from the ceiling!
