Cant say I ever visited an arcade like that BITD.....we had a few good ones in Calgary such as the Wizards Castle....Southern Fun and Three Ring Circus but they were small compared to those pics.The arcades in Revelstoke BC where I moved at the age of 11 were even smaller (maybe 20 games at most and no pinballs) and for the most they stayed in operation for maybe 6 months at a time before going out of business due to the amount of drugs/fights that they attracted...was a shame.
Right now in Calgary the closest thing to an arcade is the 10-15 machines at the greyhound station....other than that there is nothing......which is an even bigger shame.

yeah use an MPG video downloader as suggested: http://www.onlinevideoconverter.com/
I used that to pull it down, here's the MP4 you can download which will work on nearly everything: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Byzrg15GfOxZdGZwR0VYTmswYjA

I lost the original along time ago.
And I can't remember my youtube login.

The reason we all collect...
That.was.awesome. Thanks for sharing that.
This is another one that always makes me get in the time machine phone booth and think about being an arcade kid in the early 90's- right before the scene died.

Nice job. We had a Showbiz arcade by me that had a cool "Space Corridor". I've been trying to piece it back together in my mind to maybe build one some day. Only found one pic on the net.
Ive watched that video several time.
It's pretty amazing how many games that are truly rare today are represented.

Not sure how I missed this... awesome! I grew up in the 90's scene, but I caught some of this on its way out. Regardless, arcades with classic games and packed with people will always be a sight for sore eyes for me.
I wanna see what the huge ass target UFO game was like!!!!
