#1739 HOUSTON ARCADE EXPO 2022 Part Three-BIG BANG BAR & Pinballs Galore plus Arcades-TNT Amusements
128Part Three features Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the Houston Arcade Expo in November 2022. (Part One and Two links are at the end of this video)
We begin in the vendors area before we go into the game area. The 3-D drawing booth is our first stop 1:35 . Game play starts at 4:14. I play a very rare 1981 FRISKY TOM Cabaret Arcade Video Game--first one I ever saw! 6:12
Todd plays a deluxe Battle Tank game called MED CORPS that you climb into a Pod to play. 7:57 but will he WIN? Then, meet the man, Estil Vance, who fleshed out the LAST STARFIGHTER Movie's STARFIGHTER Arcade Game and not only got the game to run, but has posted all the plans to make the cabinet and software for the world to see and copy, for free! This sequence starts at 11:39 . His website is www.rouguesnyapse.com to learn more!
Saturday morning starts the day at 20:26 with the outside flea market swap sale! Some bargains! SOmeone was trying to sell two emptyish cabinets Lethal Enforcers and Terminator 2, but eventually left them there for free...I wonder if they will get taken by the end of the show? (stick around to the end) Then Todd shows you his suite at the hotel 24:25 and then goes down to the SKILL SHOT BABY Seminar 25:17 with Imoto.
We then go into the Tournament room 26:28 to see the row of games and players competing for the grand prize. Meet a couple of my tiny fans 28:03! Although I missed the Cosplay program, you can meet one at 29:09 A trip to Outback Steakhouse was in order at 29:51.
We return to the play area 30:25 for more fans and games. And at 31:50 you can see one of the Capcom BIG BANG BAR pinball machines that I originally thought was one of the first 13 made. Instead, -this was one of the remakes by Gene Cunningham in the mid 2000's. Gene made 175 and numbered them...and then had enough parts left over to make perhaps 14 more...this is #..this is one of that final batch.
Todd plays Rudy's Nightmare at 33:15. And the band RADIO DURAN entertains everyone while we explore the game area as we run into the later hours 35:25.
Todd plays Spooky Pinballs RICK AND MORTY for the first time at 36:41, right next to TOTAL NUCLEAR ANNILATION. We eyeball the Grand Prize...a new RUSH Pinball to be raffled off at 37:08...will Todd win with his $200 entry? A rare Stern Upright Arcade Game MOON WAR with an unusual roller controller 40:50 is shown.
The Mortal Kombat man Paul Neimeyer is at 43:34 clowning around with me. And then 45:08 we begin SUNDAY! ALL the games are still here, and new people lined up to enter and play! And at 46Z:25 we corner Scott Danesi, the genius behind TOTAL NUCLEAR ANNIHILATION. And at 52:49 the Ice Cream Man hands out more of his homemade Ice Cream! Then the awards for best games and the drawing for the Rush Pinball..will I win? 53:38
Show breakdown has started at 57:19. Todd gets into a DeLorean 59:29 and then flashes back to a video of daughter Tammy at 2 years old wanting to drive a car in England (yes Footage!!). We wind up the show 1:06:22 with the show promoter Keith Christensen. Then Todd sees if he can find his ticket in the RISH Pinball Raffle 1:08:24. After we say our goodbyes, we then find out what happened to those two free games!
I hope you enjoyed the video...took hours to edit and float in stuff...but hope it was worth it!
