8-Bit Guy's New Video Game & Pinball Arcade in Bedford, Texas - Time Rift
My recent video on the new Time Rift Arcade inBedford, Texas has really blown up, especially for a channel my size. You canwatch it by clicking HERE. Featuring a quick interview with co-owner The 8-BitGuy, it has well over 28,000 views and counting, with tons of great comments.I’ve posted some of the better ones here:
@torham – Toobin’ would be enough to get me in thedoor if I lived in the area.
@davidworley6342 - No Rastan? Blah. Cool arcade,though.
@ComdrStew - I've been to newer arcades. Well, theycall them arcades, but they are usually crap. This looks like a real arcade.They are even using the CRTs for the old consoles, the only way they look good.
@Jad_the_Taff - Just found out this is about 5 minutesfrom my house. I will definitely be coming by. Thanks for the video because Ididn't know just how nice a place this is on the inside. Great job 8-Bit guy!
@user-tb5ns7hc5i - I have never seen an arcade withmachines all in that good of condition and working order. Omega Race! Terrific.
@JasonDavis103 - WOW. I wish this was in Atlanta. Itseems to only be missing Satan's Hollow and Crazy Climber. I'm so jealous thatyou can go there on the way to work.
@JimmyRussle - Great tour and great commentary! Davidis a cool dude. Definitely going to check out the arcade when I’m in Dallas forwork next month.
@Jolly-Green-Steve - A very well-balanced arcade thatI wish had a location in Central Florida. All the best arcades seem to be inTexas for some reason, besides Galloping Ghost.
@dave4shmups - This looks like an awesome arcade! I really hope that it does well. I’ve seen some of the videos of The 8-Bit Guyhelping refurbish some of the arcade cabinets and he put in a lot of work.
@xtremejay2000 – Dang, there is one glaring genre thatis my favorite, missing. Where are all the beat-’em-ups? Final Fight, DoubleDragon? I spotted Simpsons, and I am sure Ninja Turtles was there but stillvery slim on the beat-’em-ups and almost NO vertical shooters.
@michaelcharach – Wow, looks great. Most important thing to me is that all thegames work properly. Nothing worse than playing these old games and the controls stick, etc. With the 8-Bit guyat the helm, I bet everything works perfectly.
@voodoomotion5855 - These bring back memories of thearcade at the swimming pool in the ‘80s. We couldn't afford to play and had topretend we were playing the demos.
@piggsinablankie - This is awesome. Thanks for the tour. Hope the 8-Bit Guy has much success. I washoping to see the Sinistar arcade game and the Gorgar pinball machine. Two voicesthat used to scare the heck out of me as a kid. Really nice ones there like SpyHunter and Mr. Do!
@ChrisH0Y - Awesome - Rad selection! I played so many of these when I was a kid. I'm so gladmy parents were generous with the quarters on pizza night. The background musicfor RallyX still is stuck in my head to this day. Maybe they will find aSinistar machine someday? "Beware I Live!"
@Starchface - Damn. Is there no game you haven'tplayed? This place looks magnificent,full of pristine machines each carefully restored by David and his brotherMike. With them and Electric StarshipMike as the 3 partners, I think it will do well. I don't even want to imaginethe electric bill, though!
@andymanaus1077 - I live on the other side of theworld, and it's bittersweet to me to see such an amazing arcade appearing 40years after most of the games were new. It's incredible to see the favorite games of my teenage years side byside with games I've never heard of and other games I know but have never seenin real life, all in perfect working order. I wish the guys every possiblesuccess. Are all the games free play? That would be the icing on the cake for me.As a kid, my family and I were poor, and I had to carefully pick and choose thegames that were worth my money. I could spend days in this arcade. I hope itdoes really well.
