Watch 8 arcade games & Pinball Machines destroyed--TNT Amusements

Here is footage I shot 2 1/2 years ago...never used it yet... its raw footage of us throwing Tempest, Afterburner, Omega Race, Toobin (animator and all!), pinballs Bad Girls, Mario Andrretti, Street Fighter 2, and Last Action Hero off our roof---remember ten years ago I throw a Black Knight and a Ms Pacman off the roof...this time, its in High Defination and Widescreen! And YES...I COULD have donated them to any number of organizations---but I already donated 300 machines already! Eventually, 90 seconds of this will make it into our new program... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PlGhKuE1Rc

Todd, you are the man

someone already posted a link and of course people were outraged. I was hoping you would chime in in some way.

LOL Todd for president

I just don't find this cool. It's hard enough to find parts. Rockers can replace their guitars that they smash. This does not hold true for pinball machines and arcade machines.

Do you have any machines to donate that are slated for the roof??? I'm poor!

When I was a roadie, I always had to bring all the guitars into my hotel room for the night. "Amps can be replaced, guitars can't". But your point is noted.

[spacebaby]

Hey Todd!!!!!!!!

BITE ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[pinman123]

Thats a shame!!!

Why in the world would you do that???You could have gave those machines to someone who would love to have them for restoration projects.Hell,just put them on the side of the road and see how fast people would pick them up!!This does not help your business at all and showing this video here is like spitting in our faces.

same shit different day. He has given away hundreds of games and parts, some of you take this stuff way too seriously. If it was really rare he wouldn't trash it. If he stripped everything first the videos wouldn't have the same impact. He owns it and he can do what he wants with his property. Bullshit you wouldn't do business with him, there are people who are happy getting a repro part after waiting practically five years to get it delivered, if you want something bad enough and he has it you will buy.

 

[ballytablewiz]

Cute. Real F'ing cute.

"Wow! Look at me! I have so much of everything, I can just throw it away! I'm such a giant asshole I'll even go so far as to make it unusable for anyone else - because I CAN!"

What? Are we supposed to envy you? You're so cool because you have so much and we have so little. Oh King Todd, if only us lowly little Morlocks could live like you.

You gave off that smug, idiotic, spoiled fat douchebag air from moment one of the first video I ever saw you in. Here you wave the flag proudly.

Get Bent.

I take it seriously. He hasn't given me anything. His prices are ridiculous. You are a douche for defending his sorry ass. My pets are my property. According to you I should throw them off the roof if I feel like it? They are mutts, not rare breeds after all. Dumbest line ever....
Bradd-"If he stripped everything first the videos wouldn't have the same impact." Okay Beavis. huhuhuhuhuhuhuhu. Smashing stuff is cool. Yeah Yeah.

End of line.

 

[Superully]

un-freaking-believable! how can a guy who runs an arcade business do something like that?

 

[jumblejunkie]

i think my jaw hit the floor!

Test

TNT Tag line: "Our games go through rigorous testing before they are sold. These games failed the gravity test. Buy with confidence"

I don't see how this matters. If he'd adopted 300 starving children and threw 8 off his roof, no one would be cheering. This is just an immature cry for attention.

There's only so many of these things to go around. It's a shame to see any destroyed like this.
