32nd version of Jeff Waters collection. [music]
Oh my god, he almost punched the dip off the table. What are we checking out?
OH, BABY.
HERE. Let's uh let's test out these hinges. Okay. Yep. Looks good to me.
Moving on with the tour. Going over to Last Action Hero. Oh, look at that. Wa. This is a big barn. Here we go. The barn is open. Whoa. Oh my. I'm Mike Dus and this [music] is Pinball Shenanigans.
Okay, this is the door that leads to the Jeff Waters pinball machine and other miscellaneous collection. So, let's go for a tour. The usual suspects are here. We've got Kevin and Dutch, Mark and City. There's Jeff, the curator of the collection. I'll do a quick little walk around. We got Julie Dorsters. Good Jeff Workmeister. And then we'll kind of like go a little more systematically through everything that's here. What's up, Mr. Waters? We got Corey Cook giving the birds to Varcon of London Pinball. Isn't that a fancy sign? And then we got Rob Kersner and Alex Stagger of Stags CNC. I remembered this time. Shout out. Okay, so also we've got uh a hell of a lot of munchies here. Jeff's putting on quite the spread for us. He's spoiling us, but I thought uh kind of just starting this sort of back zone here and work our way through some of the stuff. We've got the Love Doctor tester. We played this earlier. It's kind of cool.
But what we haven't played yet,
I'm a seducer.
Oh, what? You already played?
Yeah. Oh, you cheated. Okay. Well, let's uh get another quarter here and see. Oh, it might take American quarters. Maybe that's the trick.
Urban Industries computerized sex tester.
All right.
Okay. Instruction. Deposit coin. Press button of your sex. All right. Here we go. And you're a seducer, eh?
Yeah.
Let's see what I am.
Oh, kiss and tell.
Kiss and tell. Oh. Oh, see all these particular circuits lined up to tell me that that's what I am.
You want to know what it is?
Kiss her and tell her.
This is This is an old game, so people need convincing. So, it shows you a schematic to make it seem intelligent. That's what it is.
Yeah. It's not random at all.
Lights light up. There's transistors and diodes and that. Yeah. That That's legit, man. This is for real.
Yeah. And resistors everywhere. That's how you know this thing's legit, man.
One hundo. So, we got some cool stuff hanging on the walls there. And then
you find on the front of a pirate ship.
Yeah. All right. That's That's like the front of a boat. What do we got here? Uh, Britannia, the Britannia.
Okay. So, we got a cool boxing machine here. And Jeff set it to free play for us. [clears throat] Last one to punch it was about 700. Dutch, your high score was what? A
705. Alex beat me a 707.
Oh, snap. Okay,
here's the thing. Alex is a lot more man than I am.
Yeah. Let's see if you can beat Alex. Now, we could make fun of Alex for getting beat by a kid.
Oh, no.
All right, let's see it. Let's see it. Wind up. You got one minute to prepare yourself.
And here we go. Oh, that actually looked good. Looked like he might have hurt himself. might have pulled a ligament or two, but check this out.
That's not bad.
That's not bad. Not bad. All right, let me have a crack at this.
That felt like a lot more than 694.
It looked like it was going to be the record, but
Okay, let's hit the start button.
All right, old man. See, we got
Oh, he's getting the run up.
You got to go back. You got to You got to
He's cheating.
Do the run.
You're going to hurt yourself.
Oh, this hurt.
That was not a good hit.
Not hit too low on the bag.
Ooh. Okay. Mark and city.
Yeah. Yeah. Come on.
Cory had um luck using the two-fisted method for some reason.
What? Like this?
Yeah, he did that. That's how he got his 700. All right. Oh, that was like kind of like almost a the underhand backhand Thor. Whoa. [screaming] New record. 724. Nice one. All right, we got some cool stuff over here.
Giant sarcophagus, uh, mummy, whatever the hell tomb.
We got digital darts. [snorts]
Dutch wants to have another crack at it. We've got a cool coke clock, some hockey cards, Matahari playfield.
What did I get?
742.
702. Oh, it broke 700. That's pretty good. I'll turn off the flash as to not
724.
724.
You got beeped by a kid. Where'd you go? You want to have one more crack at it?
Okay, one more crack at the boxer and then we're moving on.
This is your one and only last chance.
I didn't do a run up either.
To beat it. Can we turn it?
Yeah, you can turn it
off for the last
Oh, why you going to like karate kick it?
Really? No, I'm just kidding.
You tilted it.
Oh, lefty. We got a lefty.
Oh, no. No, no, no,
no. Good. Garbage.
Ah, not too bad. Not too bad.
We're going to give him the benefit of the doubt that there's a table.
Oh yeah, cuz he is a lefty. So,
all right, last chance here.
Oh my god, he almost punched the dip off the table.
That was a good one.
Oh,
there it is.
Did you hurt your hand? Okay. If you had landed in the dip, that would have been amazing. [laughter] Just got a piece of it. Okay, Dutch. Uh, for good measure, you got to go into the uh
coffin. [laughter]
I got
the giant sarcophagus
sarcophagus. Get in there.
It's just the thing to do when you're in Jeff Waters basement.
Yeah,
I will say the the hinges on this thing are scaring me. What are we checking out?
The cages are looking all worn out.
OH, BABY. Thank you. [laughter]
You You're not allowed to see that yet. You're not old enough.
I'm 19. [laughter]
All right. Get in there.
The hinges are a little sketch on this thing.
All right. Oh, yeah. It's actually like a legit coffin.
Oh, are a little sketch.
Oh, yeah. Maybe we shouldn't break it. But guess where Jeff got this? In my old neighborhood.
In my neighborhood. Not old neighbor. Yeah. Here. Let's uh let's test out these hinges.
Okay. Yep. Looks good to me.
All right. Moving on.
Moving on with the tour. Going over to Last Action Hero. Oh, look at that. Actually, good job. [laughter]
[ __ ] you, Mike.
He's an escape artist.
Where the hell did he get that? truck store or something.
Yeah. In old in my old neighborhood.
My neighborhood. Not old neighborhood cuz I still live there, but it's called Old East Village.
Okay. So, we also have a uh Whoa,
Dutch, don't look. I found a second set.
Second set of what?
What? Cory,
you missed you missed out on that. Got to put those uh put that bikini back up there. I can't reach
a booby.
We There's more boobies.
Over there.
Yeah. Did you see him here?
All right.
We got to pay a dollar.
We got to go back. Show Alex and uh Kersner here. All right. 3 2 1 boobies.
That belongs on the farm of a pirate ship.
There's like 35 pinball machines here and we're just like infatuated with
boobies.
Boxing and boobies.
You got to get Julie over here to regulate us. Okay, let's uh let's actually check out the lineup here. We've got a Last Action Hero. I have one of these in storage. This is Sean Russell. Shny Boy Russell's first game he ever owned. And I sell a replacement golden ticket in my eBay store, Acne Video Games, that will get rid of that wear spot. and Daryl Pon made the art and it's got all like red highlights in there and accents like the actual movie. So there you go. And we got Highspeed Getaway Steve Ritchie. Classic game with the supercharger. Everybody loves this game. No Fear is another Steve Ritchie game. I love me some No Fear. He's got the uh the talking skull that insults you.
Second place is the first loser. Fun jump ramp up here. And then we've got Adam's Family. This is a pretty killer lineup just along this wall alone. Adam's Family Champion Pub. This is a nostalgic game for me. used to play this in the bar in the early 2000s with Jamie and we just play the crap out of this game as well as like World Cup soccer and Harley-Davidson of all games. And I've never owned one of these. Maybe one day, but I think they only made about 900 Champion pubs. Let's ask the pros how many champion pubs did they make. Sorry to cut you off. Hi.
Hey, how's it going? What's up, boys? completely cut you right off. But I need I need answers. How many Champion pubs did they make? My guess was 96.
No, they made more than a thousand.
Oh, was it? Okay.
How many did they make?
Uh, okay. Yeah, that might be it.
How many?
Okay. Then we have a white water epic classic Dennis Nordman game where one can ride the whirlpool.
All right, we've got answers.
1,369
1,369. Thank you.
For a champion pun.
Yeah,
I guess around 2,000. So, a little off.
Oh, yeah.
That's about average for that peri that time period. Yeah, this is the end of the uh the Valley Williams era.
End of the '90s
cuz this is what 979
98. So pinball was on the brink of death.
On the brink of death. And as such later games like this one and Cactus Canyon never really got finished in terms of codewise.
Yeah, that's true.
So this game is like somewhat riddled with bugs.
Oh yeah, probably. I wouldn't be surprised. That's more later into the game. Like for what most people would do, it works perfectly fine.
Yeah, it uh it's totally playable.
Oh, yeah. Same as Cactus Canyon,
but even like Wheel of Fortune doesn't have uh wizard mode put into it. It's missing some
some code as well.
This has it.
The champion pub does.
Yeah.
What is the wizard mode?
Uh ultimate challenge.
So, you have to
of the champion. So, you have to complete the training, complete the multiballs, complete the jackpots.
Um, you have to win by knockout and you have to be the pub champions. You have to win five things. So, all five of those jewels as they're called,
like max out the jackpots, win by a KO,
get all the multiballs, complete the training, which is those things down there, heavy bag, jump rope, speed bag,
and also win um five fights. Then you qualify for the ultimate challenge where you have to beat all five boxers in a multiball in one life.
It's got some really really cool stuff. We should play a quick game on this Dutch.
I've been trying. It's been It's been beating me.
It's got this giant dude hiding behind this punching bag.
It's kind of the heavy bag. It's kind of hard to see with the glare. [music]
And he'll spin around and then you can like launch balls off the ramp into his face,
which is awesome. First things first, they did a they did this thing in a cool way cuz it's not You press the button, you got to hold it and now it starts spinning.
Oh, that's like Cactus Canyon Eye too, isn't it?
No, Cactus Canyon has the plunger.
Oh, okay.
This one spins automatically. It's not That one's a That one's a strength thing. This one's a timing thing.
So, the start fight is automatically lit here from the skill shot. It's got It's got an uppost.
I got the door.
Here we go. Check it out.
Knuckles O'Brien.
Here he comes.
How cool is that?
His pis his arms actually start throwing punches and stuff.
Oh, you his chin moves too when you gave him an uppercut there.
Yeah,
his chin is stomach.
There he goes. He's starting to punch. This is like the OG uh Hulk mech from Avengers. The first Avengers. And Dutch wins the fight. So there's also the training Dutch was talking about is like the speed bag over here.
Yep. Jump rope over.
You got jump rope over here
and the heavy bag right here.
And heavy bag. See if you can get into like a jump rope or a speed bag
training.
Yeah, those look like they're they're lit.
Oh yeah, they are. The pink inserts here.
Yeah. The best one is door prize. It gives you it's more random. At least that's what everyone seems to be doing.
Light extra ball. Got color display.
All right, here we go.
I'm going to go for that extra ball.
Oh, then spitting gallery is lit. Let's Let's see the uh video mode.
I think this one had a small issue where it goes like grayscale.
Oh, okay. Here we go. video mode and extra ball.
All right. So, you got to spit in the spatoons.
I got to move the spatoon.
I'm the you are Dutch is acting as the Spatoon. He's got to try and catch all these guys's uh hawk
and if he's successful, we can get some points.
Very sensitive.
Oh, is it? It seems like the display is slightly lagging a little bit.
Hot seven. Uh, so there's your there's your uh champion pump video mode. And now let's see if we can do some training on the speed bag with the left ramp. Oh, wait. Jump rope. Jump rope. Here we go. Jump rope time.
Hey, Mike. I I need to see.
Seeing is for wimps.
Oh, one jump.
No, it's still I'm good. It's still lit.
Are you back? Oh, okay.
Well, do you want to do jump rope or do you want to try some speed bag?
Oh, it's it's unlit now. I started light fight or I lit start fight jumbling my turn.
All right. Well, I'd say let's move on. We've got to see some of the action. We're not doing a full on game play tutorial here. So, let's go over to the left side of this row here. Looks like we got a Data East Guns and Roses widebody. I've never owned one of these. There's a really very unique cool game. The ramps are actually spelled out in the shape of a G and an R, which is pretty cool. There's this giant cobra snake on here. I didn't even remember that. I haven't actually played or seen this game for a while, so I'm assuming that's factory. Got uh piano key drop targets. But I like the fact that the ramps are different colors, too. Oh, there's a green spiraly ramp back there. And uh yeah, it's got the secondary plunger, too. Rose plunger. We got classic uh fish tails. We got workmeister. What are you playing? Twilight Zone.
I'm losing on Twilight Zone. This is an incredible game.
Oh, game over. I just missed all the action. Oh, you should have did the buy in. Should have bought one more ball, man.
Yeah, Twilight Zone.
Expensive.
Too rich for your blood. He's going to play another one anyway. Then we got uh Barry Osler's Dracula. I was just watching an interview with Barry Osler last night actually on YouTube. It's a nice looking example. Dracula letters are often uh chipped up. That's how you tell whether you got a good Dracula or not. These are pretty pristine. Creature from the Black Lagoon. Dutch's back.
You can't expect me to stick around you when there's a shrimp ring. Oh, the shrimp ring. distracted you again. And
it's going to that's going to be a reoccurring theme all night.
Check this out. These are all like little jukebox uh selector thingies.
A whole freaking wall of them. Those are cool. Okay, so yeah, creature from the Black Lagoon. No good gophers. Oh, look at that. Very cute creature head. It's like a Muppet version.
Yeah, it's pretty large. Uh, no good gophers. Looks like pretty stock Jurassic Park. The uh Data East one with the original topper or at least a repro, but
looks like a repro. The lines look a little thicker and it's more glossy.
Yeah, it is pretty shiny. It might be a new one cuz I have had the original topper. It is a little more dull, but then again, it was sitting in that barn for like a couple decades.
Yeah, the Quanza hut.
For those who don't remember, that's where we got our Twilight Zone.
Ah, that is right. Yes. The very spot where I got my Jurassic Park is where Kevin and Dutch's Twilight Zone came from that they still have to this day. And also the same place where Dutch No, this is a different place. Remember you pulled off this pterodactyl out of the Grand Bend Arcade Nightmare?
That actually this guy was over here.
They weren't on both sides. They were both over here.
Okay. I
Yeah, I managed to yank one out of there cuz the that was the one that the the joist had skewered.
Oh, right. the the freaking floor beam or ceiling beam fell down and literally smashed through the playfield
through the glass, knocked the bottom out of the machine, and it was a disaster. But we got a souvenir. We got a trinket. I've got one of those pterodactyls hanging in my basement.
I don't know where mine is, but I know I still have
Oh, you grabbed two of them and you kept one. Oh, okay.
I I one was broken off and Kevin yanked off the other one for me.
Okay. I didn't realize that you uh grabbed both.
Yep.
So, this is a game you guys want for your collection? Theater of Magic. You had one for like 24 hours and then
Yes.
traded it for what?
Indiana Jones.
Can't blame you for that.
I And not only was that, but um ours was not done. And this was the J from Maple,
right?
That was on their floor. So, it was working perfectly.
Yeah. Yeah. That was a good deal you guys got there. Oh, and does this look familiar to you?
Yes, I do remember
your dad did a uh cabinet restoration on this machine and uh
I am aware
did the powder coating. I was telling the world, not you, you already know the the world of 500 people that are going to maybe watch this. But yeah, this is a Gracie garage uh cabinet job. So, what do you know? Cool topper there. We've got ah here's the Harley-Davidson I mentioned earlier.
Was this the one that you had?
Not the one I've had, but I did mention that I used to play one back in downtown London at GT's Bar in the 20 uh early 20s. 2000s. Early 20s. Wo.
In your early 20s?
Yeah. I would have been early 20s, not early 1920s. That would really date me.
What about early 2020s? Uh, no. Yeah, that's too uh too soon.
But yeah, this is the Harley-Davidson that we played at the bar many many uh years ago and it's a bit of a nostalgic title. Then we have another A-lister Attack from Mars. Looks like we've got the colored EMD. It has the Eddies, a slightly different one than ours, but it it has the green saucers with the green ring around. That's different than ours.
And some mirror blades. And you know what? This kind of looks like
This looks like my old one that I sold to Kyle Per that maybe I think Jeff Waters got from Kyle P. This is my old one. This is a Tom Palmer restoration with a clearcoated playfield original. Yep, I recognize it. It's my old one except the Eddie's mod was not there. So, there you have it.
It reminds me of Daryl's he really nice tech from Mars, but he I'm pretty sure he also has the green saucers in it. Ours still has the red.
Then we have another Barry Osler game, Doctor Who. It's a classic. I love spanning spanning the upper ramp to try and get loop champ. Dutch, go right now. 20 loops in a row. You got like two cracks at it.
I literally can't. At 10, it's going to divert it.
Oh, okay. Well,
for fun, let's just see if you can spam some uh ramps here.
All right.
You can really blow up the score on this game just by going upper ramp all day long.
Pretty much. I haven't played this game one time, though, so I'm not tuned into the shots yet. Yeah, it it takes a minute to like find that shot or these shots. So, you know, we'll cut him we'll cut him some slack.
Shooting later than ours.
He's got Oh,
that one's definitely a lot later.
It's probably going to take a solid three upper flipper shots to uh find it.
There we go. This is good start. Got the playfield multiplier maxed up to 4x here. Once you do that, you can start your multiball
and get some killer jackpots. There it is. Boom. Maxed it out. Sonic boom. Can you get the Sonic boom? You got his
I got to be quick.
Couple seconds. Oh, there's the W. Now he needs the H. There's the H.
Shut the [ __ ] Shut up, Mike.
You're distracted.
Here we go.
I think
I got to commentate. I can't just watch in silence.
Oh, do you still have time? Over. I I keep hitting
Sonic. Boom.
Over.
Good try, though. That was actually pretty impressive. All right, moving on.
So,
are you entertaining? I've never done that on ours before.
Well, yours, your flipper alignment's a little different, so it's way harder.
Different, but this is a brand new one. I hit 10 in a row on a first try.
Yeah, not bad.
That's amazing. I there's no there's no uh in
if anybody wants to buy a street fever
basketball game that uh you know it's a little little large and it fits in it comes with this guy
probably not and uh you know Jeff wants to get a new pinball machine so this is going to be for sale so come and get it and good luck with that.
This thing is huge. All right, we've got on the other side here. This is like so many different sections. You can't really capture it all in one shot. But look at this. Just beautiful. Got Dirty Hairy,
Indiana Jones. This one also kicking your ass.
Look at this. Kind of waiting on this one. This is
old Dirty Hair.
Hey, wait a minute. Does that mean this is a Grazley garage restored? No, it's not. That one went to Maple Pinball. Yeah. You can tell it's not cuz it has the one of those like um like plastic things that go on top of the playfield. You can kind you can kind of see protector. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Ours had one of those on it. This
this was the one that was at Fork River then.
Yeah. This was Cory traded my Roller Coaster Tycoon for it.
Oh, okay.
And I think you made a mistake. Roller Coaster Tycoon is way better than this.
Yeah. You think so? Eh,
I think so. I I really enjoyed it. Well, I had one too and I liked it a lot and I sold it to Albert Agar. Shout out and he loved it as well. Pat Lawler came.
You had the other
I had uh two. I bought my first one off Aaron Aal.
Oh, yeah.
For like five grand, you know, 8 years ago.
Yeah.
And uh I had it for for a while and then ended up selling it for like
Speaking of which,
more than that.
This came from us.
This came from you guys.
This came from us. Oh, this is the one I remember now.
Yeah.
Is this the one that came from Maple?
Yes, both ours came from Maple.
Oh, they both did. Okay.
So, we got our first one for theater magic. We traded it. We still have that one. I forget what we got this one for, but we turned it around basically to death.
Yeah, that's right.
I think we traded we traded dirty hairy and Flintstones for it.
Oh, that's hilarious. All right. All right. Well, we also have another widebody data east game here. We got WWF Royal Rumble. It's fun game. I had one. And uh I think I actually had your dad uh powder coat all all this for me and art laid it
and um prototype art package with all the
Oh, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. Prototype art package. She was actually real awesome
cuz instead of just the black, it had um characters on the side and it was like red, white, and blue lasers everywhere.
There was Yeah. All kinds of fun art. And you could pick different
changed cuz other one was so cool.
I still have There was two options for the front of the cabinet with different characters. I still have the option we didn't use currently on my washing machine right now.
Yeah, it had like doink and uh
he had someone else.
Where's doink mode? Where is it? Uh, search for doink.
Middle top.
Middle top.
It's uh, tunnel hunt.
Search for a doink. Yeah, tunnel hunt mode. Oh, here's another uh, A-listister. A monster bash.
Shrimp break.
All right, Dutch is off to uh, grab some more shrimp.
Looks like a color DMD in this guy with some cool art blades. Nice looking playfield. Oh, these ar plates are extra cool. They have like sort of mirror reflection to them. Yeah, like mirrored effect. Those are cool. I like those. And then high polish chrome it appears. It's a nice looking monster bash. Got World Cup soccer. This is another one of the the early 2000s GT's nostalgic title. He has all three. Champion pub World Cup Soccer. Harley-Davidson. There might have been another one or two, but I can't remember at the moment. Then we got uh Terminator 2, Judgement Day, another Steve Ritchie. What's going on with the topper here, Dutch? You want to grab that? And [music] is it like a turkey leg?
It's a turkey hat.
Turkey hat. Well, you got to throw that on.
There you go.
Oh, no.
I think uh Cory needs to try it on his head, too.
It's an adjustment to it.
I don't want to I don't want to do it.
Okay, don't mess with it. We're going to get We won't be invited back.
I'm messing with it.
All right, here we go.
It smells of old. It smells of old
old rotting turkey legs.
I agree. You look great.
You look great today. That's a quote out of Demolition Man.
There you go.
Okay, so we are done in this room.
Time to move on to the back room with me.
But wait, there's more. Speaking of beer, where did my beer go, man? I haven't had a sip. This video has been half an hour. You've been depriving me of my beer.
And here you are digging in on the freaking shrimp.
I told you shrimp break.
I need beer break.
I hope Jeff.
Ah, there we go.
Jeff doesn't mind his turkey.
Well, we're we'll find Jeff. We'll we'll see uh if he reacts or not. Oh, it's turkey toppers. I don't know what the rep I don't know the the connection is between
uh Dutch kind of found your turkey hat. [laughter]
He got the thumbs up.
Got the thumbs up. We We will be invited back then hopefully.
All right. Well, Dutch is over there talking turkey. I'm going to go into the back room here.
Oh, Julie, what are you playing? This is a pretty rare and special game. It's Varcon by Williams from 1992. Oh, and you can actually see you play now with the lights off. Um, I was trying to watch and record Dutch earlier, but the light was on and he was wearing a white, so all I could see was his hoodie in the reflection.
Okay, so I think you have to get it up there. You have to spell V baron and then get it up the left ramp.
Well, I think it lights up the other playfield, but I have
Yeah. Yeah. I want to see the the There's a playfield here, but this obviously is a pinball machine disguised as an arcade game. And uh one of the things that is
so close
is is special about the game is that it's incredibly rare. They only made 90 9.
We found this in somebody's garage.
It was a garage sale. He said some guy was having a garage sale. Jeff's like, "Hey, do you have any like arcade games or anything?" The guy and his wife kind of look at each other and the guy's like, "Uh, I think you got to come with me." So, he brought him around to the back.
Oh, that's not what I wanted. and he ended up buying like three or four pinball machines and three or four arcade games off the guy.
Okay. Do you want Do you want me to play again?
And uh not yet, but but Jeff had no idea that Vcon was
face
was what it was. Oh, that is cool. It's a devil's face. He's got horns.
It's Vcon.
That's Von. He's the evil looking dude.
And it has the shooter like um where the ball comes out like Spectrum. Oh yeah, the ball like just auto plunges from the middle
for a baby Pac-Man.
But yeah, anyway, so uh Jeff bought these this lot of games and then he's like telling Cory, he's like, "Guess what I bought? I just bought these games and these pinball machines and I bought this lot." Yeah. On the phone with Cory.
He's like, "You bought a VCON?"
Cory's like, "Von, you got to sell that to me."
Like Jeff's like, "Why?" Cuz it's rare AF. And uh yeah, so this may be the only Varcon in Ontario. Who knows? But we'll uh circle back to that. Let's go see what else we got. And I also want to That's not distracting at all there, Turkey head.
Stop looking.
All right, I'm moving on. Water World. This is a maybe the only Gotautle game here. This is a Gotle System 3. And I love Gotle System 3es cuz they are packed full of all kinds of mechs and they're heavy AF partly for that reason. And in today's standards, most Gotle System 3es would be classified as LE in stern terminologies. Um, what is it that I have? I've got uh is it Water World? I've got a Godly system 3 in storage. I can't remember if it's Water World or um something else now. I'll have to think back to that. But if it is Water World, it's like in a box. It's a box of parts and I might need uh this for reference. So, note to self. Ah, I mentioned Demolition Man earlier. Another awesome game. And if you install the uh swear ROMs, it's even more fun. And if you're playing Demolition Man, you always got to play with the triggers. Get some good leverage on this thing.
Mark,
yes.
I would like for you to play a little bit of Freddy
Freddy
for me because I don't remember the last time I played this. It used to be at the Alibi Roadhouse on Warliff tournament. It was in the tournament at Buffalo. It was in a tournament at Buffalo. Okay.
Turd tournament. All the worst games were in this tournament. [snorts] And uh I guess this was one of them.
Instant multiball.
Okay, that's cool. Uh I don't know what I'm going for.
I don't I don't know what's going on in this game. You just got another ball. Add a ball.
Shoot Freddy shot. So I assume it's the jackpot. So there's the blink the lights.
There's a big like furnacy thing in the back right corner. And the furnace wall just went up. I'm going to sneak around to the other side here.
So, yeah. You see? Oh, the skill shot. You got to get it. Boom. Just like that. Oh, and it shot out of Freddy's mouth.
I didn't know that. That was cool. And there's Freddy's uh glove there.
No, it's down. There's one down here, too.
Oh, is there Oh, there's some sort of shieldy looking thing there.
Yeah. So, this guy actually you can flick it and it shoots over there. You can hit the captain's ball on the far right side. This actually moves. That's why all of his uh blade finger blades are uh usually broken then cuz it's whacking a steel ball.
But it's weird that the bottom finger blades not broken.
Those ones actually come up as like a center post kicker thing.
Oh yeah,
but it's there's two buttons.
I don't see Oh, I think I can see something down there. I used it though.
Oh, it's a claw save button. So there's two buttons on that side.
Oh, there is too. So that one's this guy and this guy is just the last flipper.
Okay.
What other games were in the tournament? Do you know?
Um yeah, good question. We'll have to ask Julie what other games were in the tournament. Uh so this is a a second got game in the collection, but I completely skipped over Lethal Weapon 3. Awesome game. Everybody dance now. CNC Music Factory. Okay. Okay. Okay. Everybody loves it. Game's all right, I guess.
Yeah, that's fine.
And then we've got Flash Gordon,
a certified All right game.
Uh, turned off some issue with it, I'm assuming. The only early valley game in here. Do you know what? I just realized there's like 98% DMD games here. Does that brighten your eyes?
No.
Oh, okay. Let's take a quick break. We'll get back to whirlwind in a minute, but in the meanwhile, I must challenge Dutch on a game of hoop it up world tour three on three.
What the hell is this?
I'm going to crush you.
Okay,
I want you.
Uh, hit start at the same time.
There's a there's a ball stuck on mine.
No, that's where it's supposed to go.
That's your That's like your popper. Okay, let's see if it's ready to go.
All right, we're live. Okay.
All right.
Okay, I'm going to show both playfields. And here we go. Game on.
I got to zoom back so you can see exactly what we're doing.
Oh,
okay. Three zero. This is where we got We're epic. Okay, I got to go like
got to punch lighter. Punch lighter. Oh, I hit the rim.
Oh my god. I have zero. This is dumb. I'm too busy focusing on the camera.
Oh no, this is embarrassing. Oh, I went through like two hoops there.
Oh, I went through two.
Oh, there we go.
This could be an epic comeback. 6 seconds. No, that's not going to happen.
No, don't say that. You got to believe.
Uh 9 to 24.
Damn you.
All right, back to whirlwind celebration dance. He got rid of the turkey hat. All right.
It was It was bothering my forehead.
It was a little tight.
No, it wasn't tight. It was just really itchy.
You're allergic to
to turkeys
feathers. Okay. Whirlwind.
Whatever was in the 30-year-old fabric.
Love this game. I've had a couple cabin restored one for me. It was uh in a fire. What did we call it?
Earth, Whirl, Wind, and Fire.
There you go. Earth, Whirlwind, Wind, and Fire.
You can just keep that on, honestly. I don't care.
Oh, okay. Checkpoint. This is uh like one of the first DMD games ever made.
I think it was the first. I'm bleeding.
Oh, what did you do? You celebrated too hard.
Excessive celebration.
I guess so.
Punch the uh the dip bowl or something.
Can or something.
Going to need to get a medic for you.
Oh no, I'm bleeding out. I see a light.
All right, checkpoint. Um
I'm pretty sure this was the first DMD game ever.
I think you're right because this is like ' 91.
This is 91. And also um ever like for the first few years after this game came out on the on the displays of all the D East games, they would say um like the the premier name in dot matrix display technology or something like that. They would they would constantly brag that they were the first ones to do it.
And not only that, they got a cool looking spinny wheel.
I'm guessing that spins, but I don't actually know.
Oh, the key start. That's pretty cool, actually. But yeah, 92 was um Terminator 2.
Gilligan's Island came first. I'm pretty sure
Williams first DMD, unless it was Gilligan's Island. So,
no, I'm pretty sure the first one in production was T2, but the first one to come out was Gilligans Island.
Ah, that sounds about right. Uh, another Data East game here. Uh, Alpha Numeric. The Simpsons play pinball, man. And you guys had one of these in your early days. Kevin restored it.
One of our first big rescos. It was nice.
Yeah, it turned out amazing.
We had painted these rails blue and whatnot.
You can you can hear Cory in the background sucking that champion pub.
Him and Alex having a hard time.
Yeah, you guys pretty much got rid of all the black on the game like cabinet wise and and you know gave it some color and some life. It turned out amazing. Uh this is interesting. So, this is uh what started the whole thing for Jeff Waters. His dad had this in the basement in the8s. And Jeff was like, this is kind of what got him hooked. And this is the very machine that came out of his dad's basement. So, this is the whole gateway drug for him. And uh let's see if we can uh play a game. So, is this a single player game?
You pitch to yourself, bat to yourself, hit the start button. Oh.
And um
Oh, no. There's two players.
Oh, you can play two players.
Let's just do one player.
Yeah, let's just do one for simplicity sake.
I I I'm going to say this right now. This is my first pitch and bat ever.
Oh, first pitch and bat experience ever. Okay, this is cool. But we got to let people know that this is actually a game from the '60s.
Okay.
And this is called a running man unit because guess what? There's men and they run around the bases and people just love that
and it's very cool. So, we're going to see some dudes running around some bases here. So,
it's pretty simple. You just pitch
and then you bat. And you got to try and time it. The ball's going to like shoot out of this flap here.
So, you got to be quick. And then you got to whack it.
I used my I used my bat up.
And if you
Oh, hey, look out. Look at
Oh, there's a guy. The red guy just ran.
I got a triple. only
if you can like shoot up this ramp into the target there.
That looks like good things will happen there. Yeah, for sure. Okay, I'm going to pan back out now that we know what we're doing here. It's kind of tough to get the running man and the bat and everything.
That was another
all at the same shot here, but looks like this is a pretty good angle here. So, you're hitting those targets there. You got out target, double target, triple target, single targets. Trying to get it up that ramp there. Hey. Hey.
Can't be easy. That ramp is just like one sliver of the [clears throat] width of the playfield here. But
it didn't kick out.
Oh yeah. So you got to try again every once IN A WHILE. OH, ALMOST got it. Dutch's first pitch and bat experience of his life. See if he can hit a home run here. Men are running.
I'm trying. I'm not.
And let's see. We've got seven runs so far just by hitting the targets. There's a single. Didn't bring anybody home though. Oh, just didn't have enough mustard. It was right on the ramp there, though. But, uh,
I'm not sure this game's got enough gusto in it.
Might need to get a heavier bat. Swing harder. May not have the gusto. Might need to warm up your biceps a little more on the uh punching game.
Okay, here we go.
That was wearing out my biceps.
So, pitching back. What do you think?
Not bad for 1960s, eh?
It's fun at someone else's house.
It's what?
Fun at someone else's house.
Yeah, right. It is a pretty uh large device. It's like it is 2 ft longer than a pinball machine in the front of the cabinet and in the head and I can't imagine it uh is light and fun to transport. But I think that's uh enough Grand Slam. So there you have it.
What else we got? We got a couple arcade games.
Some of you need to get the home run. I'm thinking I like might want to fire this guy off for like 10 seconds. This guy looks fun. Dutch, you want to play?
Hold on. I don't need that new fangle technology. I got a I got a classic here.
Come with me if you want to live.
All right, let's see. Can I start it? Start game. Playing without you, man.
All right, fine. You there. I need a wingman. Hit the start button. Sight will be stable. All right, here we go. What is this game called? Ghost squad.
Starting. Oh, there I am.
Mission one.
It's not exactly synced up very well with where I'm actually aiming.
Oh, you're you're not calibrated. Okay, where am I?
I'm not at all. I'm way off to the right, actually.
All right. The idea is [snorts] pull the action button to skip. Oh, okay. We can skip the animation. Action button. Your mission. Terminate the terrorists and rescue the leaders.
Oh, there's a trigger over here on this end, by the way.
Oh, up here. Oh, okay.
Or something.
I don't have enough hands to reach that one.
Is this the actual
mission start? Okay, we're live. Here we go.
Oh, crosshairs. Oh no.
What? No crosshairs.
I I'm too far desync for this.
Oh no. This is like as bad as the the game at the Western Fair where your BB's just spray all over the place.
Um,
remove the time
time bomb with no V. Just b
time bomb
off the screen.
Oh, got to reload off the screen. Okay,
I am so far gone.
Reload. It's so cute. Little solenoid action.
What does this button do?
Is there any grenade buttons? What does this do?
I don't know. Can't do anything.
All right. Well, let's go, squad.
Oh, that's the action button is
Oh, it's by Sega.
All right. I'll watch you for a minute. Turn off the flash so we can get a better uh
Wrong order. Ah, fail.
What are you doing? I'm still alive, by the way.
All right. Well, moving on. We've got arcade. This is the arcade section minus the Barcon, which like I said is pinball disguised as an arcade game. But we've got DigDug classic. Moon Patrol. Played that a bunch on my Atari 2600 andor 7800.
Back to classic.
Oh, one more thing. We've got the astrology crystal ball. Check this out. Instructions. You must look directly at the magic crystal ball. Place hand on silver crystal ball. Retrieve your astrology reading below. And uh what does the astrology ball predict for you, Dutch?
I already did it. I got uh
Well, no, you can't can't cheat the system. You got to start all over again.
No spoilers. Okay. Stick in your 10 cents right here. See that? This is old,
right? Oh, no. Right over here.
Yeah.
Oh, and you said you played this before. I don't know if I believe you. Okay. Are you staring into the ball? Stare harder.
Harder.
I'm doing my best, ma'am.
Center. Center your eyes.
And what does the silver ball do for you.
Oh, it it gave me a few fortunes.
Okay, you get to pick your own fortune. You did so well.
It seems to have given me a few.
You can choose your own fortune adventure.
Okay. Um
Okay, just pick one random one. Read one random line and that's going to be your fortune. We're not reading the whole horoscope. Okay, other side. Nail it. What do you
Onyx was made especially for you, yada yada yada. Um be patient. Those who have tried to interfere with your happiness will soon find they have no influence on your on your loved one. You seem to be very impertu impeachous and outspoken. Drop another coin in the slot and I will tell more. Look at that sales pitch right there. [ __ ] Upsell. Upsell. Upsell.
Well, that's a astrology crystal ball.
Look at me. I'm so I'm so spiritual. I got every fortune.
You are the new fortune teller.
Voltaar, whatever it's called.
Voltan. Volultan.
No,
there's a there's a a fortune teller, dude. I think it's called like Voltaar.
Yeah,
Volultan's a pinball machine.
Voltan is a pinball machine.
Oh, yeah. The one who escapes cosmic doom. That That's right. I forgot.
Anyway, I think that's uh the end of the tour for now. Um,
pretty awesome collection.
I'm sure there's stuff that I missed, but just for fun, I'll do a quick walk around here. Actually, I'm going to start right here. We're going to take it from the top. 30 second version of Jeff Waters collection.
Hey, awful punch, man.
10.
Great minds think alike. Dutch and I had the same idea.
I don't know why.
Can you beat my 10 with your head? charge. Oh my god, you're going to knock your head into THE MACHINE. THAT'S HOW YOU TIED IT.
All right, you thought the tour was over. We're just getting started. Jeff is taking us to the infamous barn and we're all going for a tour. I don't think any of us have been there except maybe Corey. So,
I don't know. I think we got to
head out of the garage here first.
I think we got everybody.
Everyone, I think.
All right. So,
get in there. Turn into Superman. Let's see it.
We can do it.
I was just stealing your joke. Camera couldn't hear you, so I stole it.
It is uh Canada in the middle of freaking January.
So it Well, beginning I guess. Oh, look at this. Are you guys doing a little tradesies? Are you
trading?
Look at that sucker.
When you go to the barn, you got to bring something with you. I worked there for 10 years.
Yeah. Okay.
Okay.
Here we go. The barn is open.
What the hell?
I'm hearing some crazy reactions.
Wow. Signs are what?
Oo.
Whoa. Oh my god.
Kevin, you got some work to do.
Wa.
Wow.
Kevin, you got to up your game. Wow. Holy crap. That is the coolest wall I've seen in my life. There's so much to see. I can't take it all in in one second.
Wow.
Look at the Canadian tire sign. That thing is 30 ft long.
Harley-Davidson. That is like got to be 12 by 12.
Wow.
There is.
What is this thing? This is one of these one of these places where
you got to like look closely or else you're going to miss so much. Like this whole row of skateboards And then I don't know what the heck that is. Rag Ragnarok science formal 1995.
Let's try and zoom in on that. There's [clears throat] Ragnarok. Oh, look at the KFC bucket. Oh my god.
Bucket.
That's just half a bucket.
I'd love I would have love to have seen you dragging that thing out on a trailer or something.
Can barely get six pieces out of a half bucket with a giant tarantula coming out of it. Oh, it lights up, too.
Oh, cool.
Is that Lego?
I was just about to pan around to the Lego. Look at that display. How cool is that?
Square and Round Dancing Monday Evening Senior Center.
Some creepy clowns.
What? That is cool.
Hemp beer.
Buzz.
Old school condom dispenser. Oh, might have to blur some of that out. I don't know how to blur yet.
The tingler ring.
The tingler ring. Hook me up with one of those. It's only two bucks. Got some gas pumps here.
Here. Let me get past you.
All right.
Coming through. Coming through.
Look at this. What the heck? Is this just ridiculous?
Of course, he's got one of these.
Oh, is this what you're getting in exchange?
Ooh, very cool.
Little more palatable size for uh for the arcade.
Those are cool. So, you're trading these two guys for this guy here?
Yeah, cuz they are just a little bit smaller or I can work with these.
I just noticed Hustler billiards.
That must be London cuz
there was a Hustlers in London
store. That's
white rose.
It's a giant coke button up there.
Do you want me to just print it for you?
I'm just trying not to miss anything too cool because it's easy to do. Got a Zas arcade game there.
Oh,
gas pump.
Oh [ __ ] I'm falling. You're falling. [laughter]
Thank you. Your ass Your ass almost saved me, but my grip wasn't so good. Be
careful.
Thank you. Yeah. Yeah.
You know me, I'm not very good at uh not bumping into things.
I think this would be a good spot to get like a group photo. Really?
Space Invaders.
Uh, yeah. There's not exactly a railing there.
Cool. Burger King sign. Oh, some pinball stuff.
Ooh, this is where the stash is at.
Seawolf.
This is Arganoid.
Little cocktail.

It's Yeah. painted black, too. Sounds perfect.
Black hole.
More black hole.
More playfields. Let's play name that game. That looks
What is this?
It's a joystick.
That's interesting.
I don't know what that is. What about this? That is a flight 2000.
Rob Kersner,
you'd be You'd be in your haven right now.
What do you think this game is?
Come here.
Look at the label.
What is What is the theme here? What are they doing? Are they bowling? No, this they doing
gymnastics.
Gymnastics.
Is this
dance? No.
Oh, is there a game called like world games or something like that? It's a got game. Maybe it's World Games or something like that. And then what else we got here? Oh, another flight 2000.
My eyes are watering. And another black hole over there. And what's behind that? That looks like a
What is that? Skateball.
Skateball playfield.
That's cool. Lots of goodies around here.
Yeah.
Oh, what is that? Oh, haunted house. Funny for you to see the haunted house playfield
and uh Miss Pac-Man cabinet.
Is this also a haunted house?
I think so.
Yeah, it's all all three playfields right there.
Build your own.
What's that one?
That's a rogo,
which I
I think that's electromechanical.
Julie, don't go down yet.
Okay, cuz I want to do a group photo up here. I I've already
Are you going to wear that? Yeah, wear that for the group photo.
She found Darth Vader. Is there really?
I'll put it on. You said there's multiple.
Oh. Oh my god. Is there really?
We got to all wear one.
Got to do a group photo. All we're all wearing one.
Dustin all. [laughter]
Hey, nothing's living in it.
Maybe.
See, I'm seeing some.
Okay. Maybe, maybe everybody's not putting one on.
I'm seeing some possibly still alive in there.
They're just spiders. It's fine.
All right, I got to stop recording so I can do a group photo.
Okay, so you can notice that, well, Cory noticed there are outlets on every single one of these lights. So, guess what? Well, Mark pointed out that he's got room for at least another 30 signs.
Yeah. Well, I just talked to Jeff and he's got enough signs to populate this entire wall already. And they're mostly over here. Burger King. Sorry, I'm body checking Julie.
Look at all these McDonald's signs. Dairy Queen. Yeah. Tim Horton.
He said he could fill the whole place.
What else? Coke signs here.
Pepsi.
Pepsi. Belgian beer. Oh, Stella. Stella. That's what I'm drinking tonight.
So he basically

Domino's.
Some other letters here of some other signage.
Oh, this is cool. Some sort of movie poster. What does that say? F O T O M A. photo mat. That's a really cool sign. You got to really go digging deep to see some of this stuff. This Look at this sign. Photo mat.
Very cool. Oh, Canadian flag. Is that a Tim Hortons?

What's this?
Oh, Kelsey's.
What's that?
Ooh. I don't know. This a bunch of That's a big D and a big R.
I think that's hard driving. Yeah, I think it's Rogers.
I think so. Hard drift.
Oh, there's Pac-Man cocktail. Look at
this one.
Oh, yeah. I saw that. I guess that's Aranoid is what I was told.
Well, it does have the dial on it, so
does make sense, but kind of already snooped around here.
Oh, look, Kevin. A giant McDonald's arch right here.
There's like McDonald's.
I think he needs to spare one of his arches to you. Got to convince him.
I have a feeling
he's not much of a seller though. He likes to acquire a
trader though.
He's a trader. That's how you got to That's how you got to go.
That's how I got
people who don't sell. They like the trades.
Yeah.
Oh, wait. I got to light this back up so we can see.
Oh, neat. Are these taps? Beer taps.
Yep. Sam Adams. Happy hour.
So cool. The Domino's is cool. I know. I tried to buy a Domino the other day, but Did you get it?
What's this say?
Zellers.
Is it?
Oh, I don't know.
Uh, it's hard to tell. It's It's pretty precarious here. I
I can barely get through.
It's this one here.
I feel like I feel like Canadian James Piekarz.
No, I think
Oh, the big giant one up top.
Timos.
Yeah.
And is What is this?
Is this like Kelsey's or something, too? I wonder.
Anyway, that is the tour of the barn. Pretty incredible.
Okay, I lied. The tour is not over. There's more cool stuff, more signage. Look, this whole area here. I told you it's easy to overlook stuff. Julie wasn't kidding. There is a a whole box of Darth Vader helmets.
Here's the longboards. A whole collection of longboards.
More signs. Cheetos. Oh, how cool is that? I totally missed showing off the neat little KFC bucket upstairs. Kevin wants it bad. I'll have to try and show it off. Some old electromechanical parts here.
Another Coke sign.
Whoa. Dutch. Yeah.
You want to get into juke boxes?
I feel walking through here.
Oh my god. This is a monster.
This is like
probably weighs 1,000 lb.
I got got to imagine this thing is 30.
It's a Seabourg.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Here's the coin slot. That looks like maybe a quarter could fit in there.
I don't blame
on five plays quarter.
I see the very Oh, I'm smudging it.
So maybe 70s.
Five plays. Two plays. One play nickel.
One play for a nickel.
This one has the guts. That one doesn't.
Oh, you know the hardest thing to find is
Yeah, because they all fall down.
This Coca-Cola OG
like you got to the impressive part.
A Porsche.
Did I overlook a Porsche?
Yeah. Underneath one of the tarps. There's a 911.
Let's go snoop around. Show me. off.
Yeah. And then
I want to see the year this is around. Hold on.
Oh, there's the millionaire.
Jeff has had this barn here for about I think 13 years, give or take.
So, it didn't take that long to fill it up.
Here it is.
That's not the Porsche.
That's not the Porsche. Oh,
that's the Porsche.
Whoa. That looks like
82 911
a real life Hot Wheels car. Open the door.
Yeah, it's got it.
What is under this tarp?
Let's have a look.
Uh, this one. I'm not sure. It's a 2002 something, but that one's in. That one's the Porsche.
Check this out.
Oh, the car people.
I'm sure we'll enjoy this.
This is the Porsche as well. Never mind.
As well.
Really?
This is a 2000s one, I think.
Okay. Looks like a little more modern.
I just kind of peakedked under her skirt there. What is this monstrosity?
Yeah, that's what cuz mine's got all the guts and everything.
The compressor works great
and it it super super cold,
but I just need to get that.
What is this thing
kind of a project? [cough]
Cool, man.
Whatever it is, it costs 5 cents to play. It's got a big orange light bulb in it.
Oh, the glass is broken. It's a periscope game. Oh, interesting. Oh, they probably have one of those at the uh
what's his name? Rod Burke's place.
Oh, yeah. Pastimes arcade.
Yes. [snorts]
Another Coke machine there. And then oh my god, there's one there, one there, one there.
Three more behind here.
Look at this soco sign. That's got to be the holy grail of soco collectors.
I'll see if I can wrap around and show you the uh KFC bucket
that Kevin wants. But wait, do I see a ski ball? Oh my god.
This is an all mechanical. Pure mechanical. No electricity required.
No way.
Works on springs and whatever.
Thing's got to be 20 effing feet long.
Wow.
Is there any balls?
So if you crank that crank.
Oh, the bolts will come down. Oh, I hear I hear something happening. No, they're stuck.
Frank Harter, what
the [ __ ] [laughter]
Oh, I don't think this is so old school. Okay,
that's pretty wild. Wow.
Uh here here's the KFC bucket that Kevin wants. Check this out.
Would have had a perfect spot for that.
It's just
it's uh the right size for the arcade. That not so much.
All right, the night is over.
I got a boo boo. Dutch just got a boo boo. Check it out. How many times did you punch the bag?
A lot of times. I've quit four times. I'm still back.
Bet you keep going back for more. You're a silly boy. All right, one last one for the road. Come on. This is it.
All right, I got to break.
The new record. Alex just got it. He did a hit and run. 746. But
seriously, the top two the top three right now were sitting with Jeff, Alex, and Kevin. Three men that have a lot more going behind their punches than me.
It's true. And they have more skin on their knuckles. Here we go for the grand finale of Boxer. Oh, that actually sounded pretty good. Felt good. Look good. Can you break seven? Oh, that's pretty damn good. What is that? Second place.
Fourth.
Fourth. Uh,
the three people I mentioned.
That's not too bad though. Not too bad.
Okay. The one thing I didn't mention about Varcon is that the playfield is not actually on the back of the machine. It's actually down there and it's reflected. Excuse me. And it's reflected onto this mirror that you can kind of see on the side. See that 45° angle? That is a mirror mounted on the back side of it. So, you're looking at a reflection. You're not actually looking at the playfield. It's pretty cool.
Yeah. All right. Let's see if Dutch can pull this off here.
Uh I'm wearing I'm wearing a very white sweater.
This is the worst recording ever cuz it's just all reflection.
Okay. I'll try to get out of the way.
Doc, get out of the way. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And it's still it's better.
Dutch has got this primed ready to go here.
He just needs to go up that left ramp to spell Varcon.
I already spelled it.
Oh, up the left ramp to go to the lower/back playfield.
This is not exactly comfortable for any of my parts.
That looks fine.
My My thighs are on fire.
And also, I'm [clears throat] very much going to lose this happen.
Oh no. Is that it?
Yeah. A [ __ ]
