While others have amazing arcades in their homes you actually opened it up to some kids who had no concept of what a real arcade was like. Not the redemption machines but 80's/90's classics. Well Done.

We must share the same brain. My childhood was going to arcades and playing these games. I'm also a huge Back to the Future fan and Star Wars fan. My favorite arcade game was Dragon's Lair. It was the reason I pursued animation as a career. Now I'm an Emmy Award Winning Animator and still wish I could go back in time like Marty Mcfly and relive those awesome days in the 80s. Great job, Jeremy!

i remember watching Tron 2 the part where the arcade is turned on after being off for so long...then they are playing Journey..that was nostalgia for us eighties ppl. This here reminds me of that although I was a kid in the eighties I remember the malls and the arcades..What a better time it was..things where more peaceful back then as a kid.

It is a great one of a kind product for playing classic games minus the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my best friend Jordan after many years got excellent success with it.

I know you are proud and I agree, nothing like seeing the faces on the kids. Our generation lived for a few hours in an arcade and a roll of quarters. You can have all the games on one machine now with a chip or great home systems, but nothing will match the feeling of walking into a good arcade, my heart would skip a beat every time I powered up the fuse box at your place.

I like what you said about opening your arcade free of charge. I guess it's the same reason that I pet sit for a minimal cost. I watch animals because I love them, but I do so with a small fee to offset business expenses. I travel to others' homes in my city to watch their cats/ dogs. After a time, their pets feel like my own, and I love them just the same. Nice video about your passion, Jeremy.

Here's what stands out to me about Arcade games. The first popular game i remember was Space Invaders in 1978. In 79 you had Asteroids and Galaxians. But if you look at 1980 to 1982 you had so many incredible arcade games come out. Just look at the games that came out between 80 to 82. Pacman, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr, Mrs Pacman, Galaga, Moon Cresta, Defender, Scramble, Robotron, Frogger, Centipede, Millipede, Missile Command, Joust, Dig Dug, Vanguard, Zaxxon, Qbert, Pole Position, Jungle Hunt, Tempest, Moon Patrol, Moon Buggy, Cobra, Berzerk, Gorf, Phoenix, Burger Time, Battle Zone, Mr Do Astrosmash was a great game from Intellivision

In all my time spent at video arcades during the 80's and earliest part of the 90's I NEVER found a game that was better than the Star Wars sit down cabinet. That along with Side-Arms, Raiden, Final Fight, Gyruss are probably the top five games of that period, for me personally.

When I was kid back then I was a little too young to play them so I pretended that I was playing them. The man who owned the arcade room would give me those pink bubble gums that were wrapped in the orange and blue wrappers. They were so hard when you first bit into them you thought you were going to break your teeth. The taste was kind of chalky and didn't last long at all. They did make great bubbles though. :)
