It's happening! We're building a Vintage Arcade Museum to Preserve the History of Gaming

Hey! I have a Sprint 2 arcade game too! Not too many left. I have some parts (in the US) and the manuals in pdf if y'all need it.

OooooOOOoooOOOoOOOOOOooOOOOOHHH!!!!

I really feel this building should and could encompass all sorts of retro electronica. Perhaps a techmoan section for audio memorobilia too. I cannot wait to see this building develop and hopefully some time in the not to distant future I can arrange a visit too! :)

Great video guys really looking forward to it
Very nice to see Chris in his element did you have to cut him off and send him home lol

Battle zone, tempest, zaxxon,
Robotron, dungeon, Asteroids, original Star Wars, wizard of wor, Tron

Computer Space by Nutting Associates came before Pong.

I want to have an arcade!

To have an authentic experience, will there be creepy older guys hanging around in long overcoats, as well as obvious drug dealers milling around?

Them walls would look amazing if they were all stripped and easier with a sandblaster.

All the arcades I went to in the 80s were pitch black except the machines, some neons, and cigarettes!

Loved the spinning wheel on sprint, great game and retro memories.

everyone forgets about the vintage mechanical arcades...they where so awesome to play...

i use a kitchen extractor fan for sucking out dust..just attach it to a plug and and extension lead..put the plastic duct hose out the window..

Between your 2 museums I would love to go but I am about 3500 miles away in the United States in NJ

All you need now is a small bar where you can get a pint of something nice and this would be heaven.

When I saw the first cleaned wall I heard the Defender of the Crown tune in my head 😄

Well I know that if I ever make it to that neck of the woods, I'm making it a point to visit

Love that ELFL track at the end. 🎶🥰

Blows my mind how someone could take those beautiful stone walls and cover them in white paint. WHY?

Recently had the pleasure of visiting the cave loved every second of it I wasn't even alive when any of them where released but it was great highly recommend if you get the chance

Edit:if you do go I challenge you to beat my Chuckie egg score of 21510 it's the all time high score on the leaderboard I'm dogonwhe

Great news. Alex is the perfect partner for this.
Offered up a jamma cab loan to support the build. 👍

Beware of flooding risk at your beautiful location, though.

There will be an extension built for the Dragon's Lair room?

I played on the sprint 8, it was a very large game, with steering wheels all the way around, 2 on each side, i think it was in an arcade game place under a cinema(Bio 5) in Aalborg, Denmark.

Hey, J. Hancock is building a museum too! 🤗

What an awesome idea. Sadly, the opening will be a month too late for me. I’m visiting from the US the first two weeks of September. I guess I’ll have to come back next year!

I want to go to both when I'm in England the first week of October. I think it'll be too early for the arcade, fingers crossed you will have a cave day while I'm there.

This channel post really isn't the best advert for water usage during our current drought!

I wonder if this will be finished before John Hancock's Video Game Museum.

I will be there ……if you have Addams family pinball!! Otherwise forget it. Ok then Star Wars too “ shoot the death star” in fact data East’s Star Wars pinball then ? Gorf?, . Can’t wait chaps,this is brilliant and the best of luck

Wow, how long was the pool table left like that for the cloth to fade so badly?

Such a great idea and really happy Alex is involved

Truly amazing guys. Loved the little out take at the end. I've watched enough Marvel movies to always let the credits roll.....

If only we had something like this museum in Scotland, specifically the North East.

Don't you short on me man!
Lol

This is going to be unreal. Neil: you and your team are really making this a vintage computer heaven!

This is awesome!!!

John Hancock's dream but can't deliver it.

The sounds of an arcade with all the multiple games playing at once is one of the most joyous sounds in the world , on my arcade cabinet I built with retro pi I had an audio playing of an arcade from the 80s compete with all the chatter it was awesome

Wow, Sprint 2! I remember that cabinet so well!

Well this is a result! I live across the road!

I hope you used a dust mask at the very least.

An interesting video, nice to see the space being used for something. Better than my suggestion of a hotel. Never played arcade games as I have poor hand eye coordination, and felt embarrassed.

Another gem. Thanks rmc

Will you be printing a photographically illustrated catalog of your arcade museum exhibit that people can buy?

This is a large, collaborative undertaking, not something to be done alone, and called a "longterm project" without ever giving updates. Well done, guys. Looking great. You get things done.

Such an amazing project. I truly wish to be able to visit your cave someday, you guys did an amazing job with everything else so far. When I built my Home Theater I had prepared a room like this to make an arcade and a ticket booth, I removed an old fireplace made of 3 layers of bricks took me two weeks. But then we had a little surprise that came along and needed an extra room but I did get to keep the HT and squeezed two of the Arcade 1UP machines. Love watching the progress of all your projects.

Will you have Williams Stargate? Where is the Mill?
