-joshnickerson It's awesome. Supposedly the biggest outdoor market in the south, if you wanna believe their ad campaign. As always, it's hit-or-miss for awesome retro goodies, but I almost always come away with a little bag of something cool.
Grabbed several classic PC games today for a few bucks, always tons of NES, SNES, Genesis and other systems and games to buy. It's one of those setups where hundreds of locals set up their own table for a day, so it's a massive variety that changes weekly.

-MaGuss0909 actually it's the SNES equivalent to the Playchoice-10 which played NES games, but it didn't catch on for too long. Some of the games which came out for it were Super Mario World, F-Zero, NCAA Basketball, Super Tennis, Robocop 3, Lethal Weapon, Addams Family and Contra 3. many of these games were slightly different to their home versions (i. e. SMW on the Super System having a world select menu)

I love how the guy playing Super Mario Bros. had no idea there ever was an arcade version of SMB, lol. At one time I could have considered myself one of the best in the world at SMB arcade. I once I went through the entire game without dying once and got a score of over 2. 9 million (mostly from 100k for every life I didn't lose. this was in the late 80s when I was 11 years old.

-atarileaf I had never seen one in person or played it, and MAN was it more difficult! There was also a Nintendo VS System at 02: 15 which I'd never seen, as well as a Nintendo Super System at 01: 21 with Super Mario World. Very weird, it has an oversized SNES-like controller and you can play the game for a certain amount of time before you have to insert more credits.

You lucky devil, i had a fun fair (run by what are affectionately known as 'jippos' here in the uk) which has always had a street fighter 2 cabinet in. But I didnt go this year and it ended like 3 days ago. Mainly to avoid the 'youths' knocking around. Im so british that our estates are almost uninhabitable without getting jip from 'youths'! ;)

-GX2Productions There were two Vs. Systems there: the standalone SMB ones, and the -red tent- Dualsystem. Didn't try the latter, so I don't know how many games it had.
There is also the Nintendo Playchoice-10, which was an upright cab with 10 Nintendo games to choose from, including Mario. Perhaps that's the one you've played.

In a bowling alley, we have something like this, except most of them are $1 now. They USED to be. 25 cents though, and I remember so many good times there with games that they threw out there. Still have a few of my favourites there though, including a Tekken knockoff that totally got me hooked on Tekken XD

-coalb389 I'd love to! I have a long list of places with amazing arcades I'd enjoy visiting, but sadly I rarely get the chance to take enough time off to travel to them. The exciting thing about this one is it's just minutes from where I currently live: D

Awesome place and video! I would love to see all the control layouts for the different games, the way they're set up out in the wild. If you do another video on these could you show them? I hope I find a place like this around here in Texas.
