Howdy! Here is an all new and complete tour of all my 30 classic arcade games in my home arcade! I go through them one at a time (I go pretty fast since there are 30 of them) and give a brief overview of each one. These are full sized arcade games from the 70-90's, the real commercial coin-operated machines. The games in the collection include: Arkanoid Asteroids Deluxe (Cocktail) Batman Part 2 Battlezone (Cabaret) Black Widow Centipede (Cabaret) Cloak & Dagger Crystal Castles Donkey Kong (Red cabinet version) Donkey Kong Jr. Elevator Action Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters Jungle King (Cocktail) Liberator (Cabaret & Upright) Mikie Moon Patrol Ms. Pac-Man Neo Geo MVS Out Run (Cabaret) Pong Rally-X Simpsons, The Smash TV Space Harrier (Sitdown version) Stargate Star Wars (Atari version) Super Pac-Man Tempest Vs. Super Mario Bros. Thanks for watching! - Cassandra

In this documentary, we take an in-depth look into the rare and under seen Atari arcade game Liberator from 1982. Atari was hoping this follow up to the classic game Missile Command would be a huge hit. Instead it would go on to become one of the lowest produced arcade games in Atari's history. We trace its development, history, and impact on the industry. The failure of the product can be seen in Atari's obsessive nature of test marketing, attempting to brand the game with the Atari Force characters, and an overlong development time.

Centuri was one of the largest arcade game manufactures in the United States in the early 1980's. Today they are often forgotten when compared to other companies from the era. In this two part video series, I attempt to encapsulate the highs and lows of this important company. Thanks to everyone who helped with this video, or who I swiped something from. Cassandra P.S. Please ignore the one citation I misspelled, and failed to catch :-D

Howdy! In this video I rant and give my deep feelings (HA!) about the concepts around arcade game restoration in a modern reality of inkjet printed side art and reproduction parts... and why we need to move towards the concepts of preservation of originality in the hobby and tread carefully when using reproduction parts and "fixing" cabinets when they might be better off as-is. We look at two examples of classic arcade game cabinets... one which is not in great shape but should be kept preserved as all orginial, and another that will need a full restoration. Thanks! Cassie

Howdy! In this video I deep dive into the history of the arcade video game Super Pac-Man developed as the original sequel to Pac-Man by Namco and why Super Pac-Man doesn’t seem to share the same legacy as other Pac-Man sequels. We discuss the rather dodgy relationship between Namco and the US license holder for Pac-Man Bally/Midway and how a series of some what less than officially designed sequel games might have contributed to hurting the legacy of Super Pac-Man and its success in the arcade marketplace in the early 1980’s. Hope you enjoy it :-D Thanks for Watching! - Cassie

Howdy! A tough to find cocktail version of Gottlieb's Q*Bert joins the collection. IN this video I ramble about it for a bit, talk a little about the hisotry behind Q*Bert, and why the cocktail version is so rare. Thanks! Cassandra

Howdy! Need a new power system for your arcade game, or just curious on how to make one? Here is my run down on how I make em... enjoy!

Howdy! In this episode we look at the newest restoration/conversion in the arcade a hard to find Atari Cloak & Dagger from 1984, and talk about the movie Cloak & Dagger as well. As a bonus, we also chat about a special future project which was recently acquired for the collection. Thanks for watching! Cassie
