#SpaceAceArcade #LaserDiscArcade #TntAmusements
Thanks Todd for keep these arcade classics alive.one if my favorites from my childhood was ladybug.
Do you have one?
oldskoolgamer I think we have a cocktail table...but not sure now if it got sold.
There was this hyperactive kid in my old neighborhood when I was a kid. He was so fun in the arcades because he'd throw a big tantrum, start cussing so much they'd kick him out of the arcade. Dragons Lair was probably the one that drove him the most crazy.
this was part of my childhood! back when arcades were a thing, I could never get over Dexter saying "far out!", that was so hippie! :D
:-)
Oh, Far Out! 🙄Woah! 😮
@@blenderbachcgi Why, I oughta!! ✌️
Great video. I wondered how it all worked and where the laser disk was. It is absolutely incredible that while computers had floppy disks and simple platformer games, there was an interactive video with high resolution.
Great video, subscribed (also I see a Space Duel cab in the background, I loved that game!)
Very interesting. Have a nice day now.
Very nice video. Thanks for posting and have a nice day too.
Love the cocky laugh he gets when turned into Space Ace. Boy did I play this game, it was another reason to waste my week salary after spending the better part of a year figuring Dragons Lair out. Some time after I finally slayed the dragon this Space Ace machine appeared at my local arcade, guess the owner tough it was better business to introduce a new challenge for the teens. Remember he turned the speaker volume up real loud so that we could all hear the promo scenes. I was all over it like a bee! Hehe. Needless to say I rounded this game as well, making me quite popular amongst fellow gamers. And probably an annoying little critter too. Mastering both Dragons Lair and Space Age carried some serious weight back then.
You couldn't complete shit, even Alleycat was out of your league :)
I have never seen this in real life, awesome video respect for keeping these machine alive ! 😎
well, they were running 12-15 hours a day...and in the attract mode, the players were constantly running...even if no one was playing it. Spinning motors and moving laser heads---and early 80's electronics were not a good match! In a private home, they tend to run much longer!
Yea, that does trend.
Used to play this game in my local arcade back in the day. Now I have the HD version on my iPad.
Its fun playing the real thing!
Frankly you can play Dragon's Lair and Space Ace on almost everything today. You can even play it on a plain old DVD player.
it is more of a fun experience playing on an arcade cabinet though.
Nice, I remember playing this quite a lot in the arcades. Watching a crowd build up around me when fighting Borf was always a bit nerve racking. I used to live 2 doors down from Dan who did the voice for Dirk the daring in dragons lair. Used to go over there alot as I was good friends with his younger brother. I remember him giving me a dragons lair flip book and space ace poster signed by Don Bluth. Awesome times! Just grabbed the space ace dedicated cabinet of space ace from new wave toys. What a beauty! Not sure I remember the red trim back then on the conversion kit space ace cab. Did you add that? Great video by the way!
Thanks for the memories. Don Bluth actually sold old Space Ace laserdiscs through his fan club after the craze died down. I still have mine.
Glad you enjoyed the video!!
Thank you for this fascinating behind the scenes look at the tech of the game.
I remember playing this game at various arcades in NYC.....much harder to master than Dragons Lair which I did master all scenes/ challenges.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just love the 3 Don Bluth Laserdisc games. I was lucky and found the DVD set of all 3 years ago at a pawn shop.
I know this is one of your much older uploads,but am just seeing it for first time, them constant cut screens on that game would and did drive me crazy, its no wonder them laser disc didn't work out in future game builds, liked the vid Todd, its kind of novel how far y'all have come in the industry since this video, shared with our community as well, Have a Great day and God bless
Thanks...yes...this is an older video and w
Todd you have the best job in the world :)
A Space Ace kit can be successfully installed into a Dragon's Lair game that is running with the original Pioneer player PR-7820 with DIP switch B0 set to off. (per the conversion manual pg. 2, operations manual pg. C.1, and experience)
I LOVED this and Dragon's Lair. They were just impossible to play though! I always just wanted to watch the movie!!! haha
They were popular but only briefly...and now its all nostalgia that brings them back into view again!
Its fun MOST of the time!!
I had about 20 mins memorized back in the day...such a cool game.
Yes...many did!
I didn't have faith Todd could play this... I should never have doubted the Tuckey!
Todd , you are really awesome, i wish there was a way to ressurrect the arcade fever from the 80s - 90s, it is a dying art
Thanks...but the good news is that the classic stuff IS coming back---in the "Barcades" that will come across America! Watch and see!
Do you know of Arcade1up?
That was soo hard
I don’t know about you, Todd, but in my opinion, Laserdisc is the most truly underrated home video format in existence, and something that was way ahead of it’s time!
Thanks for commenting. When actually comparing them now, the laser disc image on a new lcd monitor is not as clear as a dvd or blue ray for sure. But at the time, it was the best way to enjoy movies and certainly presented wonderful images on an arcade game in 1983. The digital replacement versions for Dragons Lair are faster and smoother responding too. I still have my laser disc player at my home though, and a few discs remain
TNT Amusements Inc What movies do you have for Laserdisc?
You're pretty good at that game. 👍
Lol!
I never got a hang of Space Ace. I still love Dragons Lair and Cliff Hanger where two of my favourites.
I love Don Bluth laserdisc games! I knew he did a bunch of movies but I just found out by watching the Land Before Time (on laserdisc) that he did that too.
Yes...thats was a good movie too!
I had one of these in my dorm room at beale afb ca. I bought at the arcade in marysville for like $250. It broke down on me. I even went to the manufacture around san diego for a new player and they couldn't sell me one. This was about 7 years before the internet was invented. I ended up selling it for $50. now they're worth $5,000.
The Sound Quality in these machines is "Out Of This World" 🤣 (But in all seriousness, it sounds very good)
they had two 8 inch woofers in it!
@@tntamusements Woah! That''s Bloody Impressive!
I had just one years and years ago!!!
TNT Dexter is so so so so FUNNY 🤣
Is there a hardness level adjust for easier playing beginners?
I love your videos! Great to learn how a lot of these "innards" work. 6:58 made me lol... SO MUCH INSUBORDINATION FROM YOUR EMPLOYEES (haha)
hotchalupa That FRANK!!! He says things to me all the time!!
The player in this machine is the Pioneer LD-V1000.
It's a very reliable commercial-grade player with a HeNe gas tube laser.
It's also unique in that, aside from the REJECT/OPEN and POWER controls, there's no way to operate the player without connecting it to a host computer.
thats correct...but fine for this application!
It's not merely fine for the application, it's made for it. The host computer, in this case, would be the arcade board running the game.
Now what would be really wild, if you can find one that works and is in good shape, is a Bally/Midway NFL Football game, which used an RCA SJT-400 or SKT-400 random access capable CED videodisc player as opposed to a LaserDisc player.
SO few were made and I would think 98% of them were converted to other games and the guts long gone! :-(
Yeah, there were only a handful machines made. There are very few surviving examples (at least a couple of videos on RUclips of such machines exist).
It wasn't long after RCA made the 400 series random access players that RCA terminated CED player production altogether owing to the commercial failure of their own videodisc format, which would be one of the reasons why the game wasn't in production for very long. And I don't believe it was really a popular game, anyway, considering how you're supposed to play it (you choose an offensive/defensive play and watch footage of a football game in the hopes that you either gain yardage, eventually scoring a touchdown with enough right choices, or prevent your opponent from gaining yardage or a touchdown).
And the only reason I can surmise why Bally/Midway chose CED over LaserDisc must be cost because, seriously, a stylus-based videodisc in an FMV arcade game?!
The kit came with a CP or only a CPO? You said CP, that means I should look for the original DL-CP at my vendors storage.
I Remember me.... 1984...Its very hard to play the Game.... And Expensive...to play one Game.....
Now I have the Game on Mega Sega CD...Dragons Lair 1 and Space Ace.
Better than Nothing.....
It is hard to play but fun!
If I ever win the PowerBall or Mega Millions--this is one machine I would buy in a heartbeat. Talk about ahead of it's time.
Spike Rogan I hope you have great luck with the lottery!
TNT Amusements Inc
I bet, then I would have a steady flow of orders for you. lol
Spike Rogan YES!!!!!!!
I remember reading somewhere that Dragon's Lair was an explosive hit when released back in 1983. Tell me, I know this is unrelated, but have you ever set eyes upon a Computer Space, released in 1971 by Nutting Associates?
wow
My childhood at the arcade now ancient history. 🤣
is there a easy beginner level switch inside?
Do you still get these in Todd? Both Space Ace and Dragon's Lair? I'm wondering if there's a way to convert these to like a solid state drive or something if the laser disc goes bottoms up.
We do not...but there was a solid state drive someone made...but its sold out now...
I don't remember the blank screen between each little scene.
Always wondered what happens if you put a movie laserdisc in these- does it just play?
yes...it just runs through...but it does not play in order...but in the order its on the disc.
did ever do a time traveler Sega in-depth look at it so I really would love to see the insides of the game. and how it did the Holograms.
Sadly, we actually junked one years ago...never made any money! Haven't see one since!
Oh my God I love those games the one I was really good at was cliffhanger which I think was a take off of Lupin the Third but if you lost they actually used to show your guy swinging by the neck in a Gallows pretty brutal for the time
Make sure you subscribe as we are featuring soon a video game called Chiller where you shoot people to death in a torture chamber...there was a dip switch to make the blood green instead of red if you desired.
TNT Amusements Inc lol subscribed hit the Bell icon and followed you I used to do home theater reviews for one of the bigger online magazines plus I was a retired Pro bodybuilder that has had every video game system since Telstar pong lol i still have them lol going to go to your guyses website so we can keep in touch and I can come down and see what you have
I am here when you are ready to come down...be ready to arm wrestle! Those skinny arms don;t stand a chance to my guns! :-)
TNT Amusements Inc HAHA omg i love it. Ya know what game i havnt seen in forever Tutumkham i dont even see it on jamma boards. Oh you guys down by Philly? My wife went to Widner ,
Yes...we are in Bucks County right above Philly...we are perhaps 4 hours from Birmingham. You should visit this area--tons of stuff to do with family (Sesame Place if you have young kids, is 25 minutes from us)...and then stop over!
with this game couldn't a LCD Panel be used? since it looked like coaxial cable??
The laser disc player supplies its picture via the coaxial cable!
Who here said the game dialogue....
Word... For.... Word....
😁
Do you sell the cabinet side panel art separately?
tmnichols3 you can buy it from quarterarcade.com
HAVE YOU GOTTEN IN A COMPUTER SPACE VIDEO GAME FROM 1971 AND HOW MUCH DID IT GO FOR? PLUS, HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ONE IN WHITE?
Was the red T molding trim original or something TNT added?
There’s a debate on the new wave toy mini machines they are making if the red T molding is original or not. Since replicade/new wave toys is making all their space ace conversion kits with the red trim.
it was black
@@tntamusements oh ok so it’s something you guys added?
does anyone know if these old laserdisc games that were made for arcade cabinets would be playable on a pioneer laseractive?
Yes...they will work fine...but they will run a scene, then all the death scenes for that scene if you didn;t make it...so it doesn;t play like a regular film. AT the end there are tons of single frams that say "Insert one more quarter" or things like that, as the player would just select one frame and lock it on the screen when needed.
ah weird... sounds like playing on the arcade cabinet would be much more enjoyable then
I played the 1994 cops laser disk game.
Hey Todd, have you ever sold or overhauled a Time Traveler (sega) LD Arcade machine?
Owned just one...and some 18 years ago, when no one cared about it, we turned it into a nifty prop for a haunted house (ran a video of a "monster" and effect was quite good) in one of the rooms. Sadly, the machine was left at the location when it was sold. At the time, the machine was landfill anyway....but of course I wished I had it now!
TNT Amusements Inc
Nice to hear you got one last good use out of it. Perhaps one day you guys will come across another unit for the collection. Thanks for the videos as always!
How is it that laserdisc reads the different areas of the disc faster than a ps1
The PS1 had terrible loading times.
todd do you still have the laser disc cobracommand game ina cliffhanger cab
yes!
kepp holding it for am trying to get money to buy it
Lucky Alabama ^^
How tempramental are these things? I recall that one of the reasons why these things weren't as popular as they could have been was that they kept on breaking down due to the constant use.
Todd, did you ever grt your hands on an Atari Space Ace, how much are they nowadays
Hirthirt hirt This was the last one we had...it was $2600.
OMG I just had weird freaky flashbacks when you played it! I could never get through the tunnels, it was SO hard to play, essentially a very complicated version of Simon Says that didn’t play you the tune first and you had to pay money for each guess, and then even when you knew what to do it would occasionally hiccup throwing your timing off! Frustrating as...
the harder choices also had more scenes to play
Thanks for the input!
TNT Amusements Inc ~ wat's the screen size for this cabinet ?
Kab KoolJae It was 19"...as was pretty much all the games made until 1988.
TNT Amusements Inc~ thnxs :)
TNT Amusements Inc~ & w/ a diagonal viewing size of about 18" ?
Todd, I was meaning an Atari-Space Ace
Hirthirthirt Never heard of an Atari Space Ace...this would be worth millions of dollars I think! It may be the only one ever made!
You mean for the Atari Jaguar?
Dragon lair I liked more. Both cost me more tokens/quarters than I care to admit.
Do you guys have a Dragon's Lair or Space Ace machine you want to sell?
sadly, none in stock right now!!
Did you actually control these games or are they really just a movie?
you control the movie left right up or down when the light flashes. If you move at the wrong time or wrong way you die.
GET ME OUT OF HEEEEEEEREEEEE!!!
A classic line!
What would happen if you insert that disc into a conventional Laser Disc player?
The disc would play from the beginning to the end, and although sequences would play, there would be a section of just deaths, and then more sequences. You would also see alot of single frame titles that would say insert coins etc that would flash by fast.
"Ill save you Kimmie"
How much for one of those?
Typically restored $4000
thats worth $300
You should submit this to www.klov.com so they can update their files.
I can do this.
The difference I realized are only the typical cone-buttons and the missing score board.
Cant say if the dimensions are the same though....from the look, yes.
I can measure mine to compare...but I measure in mm, not inch.
Shame you can't update the CRT Monitor to a LCD display to conserve power.
IT'S NOT A RECORD!!!
Well, a laser stylus plays it...so it must be!
popo
Please don't tell me that space ace actually stops and starts like that white playing?. Also i think i played dragons lair years ago and it just ate my credits killing me. How the heck are you supposed to know what to do first time round?!. Seems a bit of a rip off to me.
yeah that's nice........ Don't grab the disk like that.
This game is from 1993 not 83
That game is from not from 93.
Not a fad :P CED yes LD no. ;) VHS was a fad and died fast
DVD's are the next fad!
TNT Amusements Inc
people collected laserdiscs for the huge boxes. dvd's yes that could be labeled a fad. but VHS. very difficult to give away free now except the library. But laserdiscs boom bye bye have the LD2200 though. and plays warped ones fairly well. just not the digital ones :( thats my brothers. which doesn't play warped ones very well :P :) as in okay warped discs vs listening to the directors commentary vs noise. only thing DVD's are good for is the disc to digital trade for Ultraviolet for $2 or $1 after you had 10 movies on vudu :D or $2.50 if you have the bandwidth for HDX
