California Extreme 2010: The Floor

Now that's what the Game Room should look like ;)  
@M$ shame on you :>

With everyone at California Extreme, who's manning the internet?

I'm trying not to imagine what that place must have smelled like.

TOP SKATER! oh god memories

Did I spot Operation Wolf? That is one of my favorite arcade games!

That is the worst place EVER!

Willow cabinet, awesome.
Star Trek arcade game, yes.
Laserdisc game section, why not.
Cocktail pinball machines, wow those are rare.
Cocktail Stargate? never saw that one.
Vintage pinball, bells and buzzers fool, no dot matrix here.
The Deep at 6:53.  God damn I would pay dearly to own that cabinet, impossible to find.
Popeye, still no VC release Nintendo, WTF?
Journey, tape still working?
Reactor, great game that few remember.
Tapper, no fucking root beer here son.
 
I still didn't see a Cloak & Dagger cabinet, damn that game is rare.
 
Yet again I wish I could go, but $100 in gas is a lot to go play some arcade games.  Maybe if that dude was selling The Deep cabinet.

Is it just me, or does it sound to quiet in there for the massive amount of machines that are running in that place?

I recognised the clacking of the Point Blank light guns before it came into view. Man, I played that game so much on the lunch break for my old summer job. That and Sega Rally.

Where are all the jungler machines :(

Are you an actual, literal fetus? If so, I am unbelievably impressed by both your typing and grammar. "

There's way too many awesome things happening in this video...

 Tron, Popeye, and Atari Star Wars are three games I always wanted to play but have never been able to.  Somehow downloading a ROM on MAME just doesn't seem like it would do them justice.  It would have been great to be able to go to a place like that.
 
Also it baffles me why someone would be wasting time playing a game like bubbles when theres so many great games you can be playing at that event, even if you had to wait in line.

" Omg, the signature click of the Time Crisis pistols. Such a good time. "

" I just love the awesome swimmy coming-and-going sounds montage you get as Ryan walks through. "

One of the "Raiden" games maybe? "

Ryan,
You are the best but just a couple of request....
 
Anytime you see someone with a ponytail PLEASE stop and ask them questions. 
Also, if anyone is sporting a ponytail AND kilt you have to interview.
 
Second, if someone is wearing a Karate Kid(aka Danielson) headband, please stop and interview. 
 
Keep up the great work as always.

was that an upskirt at 3mins 01 secs ?

lol @ guy with skirt/half shaven head w/ pony tail extremely into that game.

Biking and gaming in one activity? Count me in.

I just love the awesome swimmy coming-and-going sounds montage you get as Ryan walks through.

Wow, looks really boring...

I love how Ryan did a double take to get a good shot of that dude's awesome stance/hair.  
So wish things like this happened near me...

" Also, power stance! "

I gotta tell ya... this is 8 minutes and 15 seconds of pure arcade nostalgia!

Looks really fun. I don't even remember the last time I was in a proper arcade.

wait wait.....was that rick astley on that video screen singing? WTF

 *sob* It's just so damn beautiful.

i wish we had events like this in the uk :(

I might overdose on ponytails.

I feel like the Dude in Big Lebowski listening to the sounds of bowling. Arcade is my favorite white noise of all.

I would love for something like this to be anywhere near me. I'm not a huge arcade nut or retro game aficionado, but there is something undeniably cool about vintage arcade machines. I particularly like vector display ones, since they offer something quite unlike what modern devices provide.

Omg, the signature click of the Time Crisis pistols. Such a good time.

What game was it that had The Circus by Erasure in it? o.O

Ryan Davis is weak to Asteroids confirmed. Nice that you had the time to bother that one dude riding the bike. Was he playing a pinball table with it? That's crazy. I thought it was an arcade game at first glance.

Middle-aged fat guys with pony-tails need to die.  If I were in the business of killing them, business would be booming.
 
Great to see a lot of different ages, races, and genders too.  Like many others, I wish I was there.

bummer that you can't read most of the titles on the machines.  i know it's nearly impossible to get that kind of thing legible on video, not blaming anybody.

I don't think I've ever seen a pinball machine in my life.
This concept of a gathering of these devices terrifies me.
