Title: John plays games in his home arcade Post by: airsoftmodels on September 21, 2014, 01:01:09 pm John,
Lookyherenow: You introduced me to the Red Tent. I have never seen one in the wild. I was not in the arcades in the late 80's, and according to Wikipedia, that is when they were introduced to the arcades. I practically lived in the arcades between 1977 and 1983. Between the ages of 8 and 14. In fact, I never even owned an NES system! I had the Gameboy and the SNES in the 1990's. I really enjoyed watching you play Exitebike. Thanks for another great video. By the way, it seems the penultimate Journey video has gone from the "Neverending Journey" to "Waiting for Godot" :) Keep up the great work.

It was the first Nintendo game i ever played, and the first console game i ever played!
Title: Re: John plays games in his home arcade Post by: Jack Burton on September 21, 2014, 03:25:38 pm Yes, this was definitely one of my favorite videos John has posted. I loved both Excitebike and Ice Climber.
I used to actually own the handheld Nintendo "Climber" LCD/Alarm Clock. I miss that game. It is hard as F (to attest to John's challenges jumping onto the bird for the bonus) (http://www.handheldempire.com/game_instance_images/59_1287_1255788023901_Nintendo_Climber.jpg) Title: Re: John plays games in his home arcade Post by: John's Arcade on September 22, 2014, 09:55:42 am Whoa!!! That game and watch ice climber is bad ass. Never saw that before!!!
I only every played the red tent at Pizza Hut and in the late 90s. I never really saw the red tents anywhere except at Pizza Hut. Huh. Title: Re: John plays games in his home arcade Post by: airsoftmodels on September 22, 2014, 11:30:50 am our local pizza hut had a Sinistar- amayzin.

Yeah, I got it in '86 from my Dad as a gift. He used to travel a lot in Tokyo at that time. I played it for years and now lost track of it. Hopefully it's in a box in my garage. Now they sell for $300+ on eBay. Here's some gameplay: http://youtu.be/Q7M1QQAajFM Title: Re: Post by: Danny Ogg on September 23, 2014, 04:38:45 pm What the heck is rut beer? It is "Root Beer", as in "Root Beer Tapper" . It is an american soft drink/soda.
