I'm Dustin Wilcox, owner of Wilcox Arcade. Watch me take over western Kentucky.
I would certainly like to collaborate since I operate arcade games in western Kentucky.

I think the Bill Clinton ending sequence in Cruis'n World is my favorite overall. 😆

Well, you CAN complete most arcade games now; that's been the standard since the '90s. I can beat House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn front to back; it has a finite number of levels and a continuation feature if I suck.

I'm a pretty big Namco fan, albeit their arcade output isn't as frequent as it used to be. I think they're getting better about it now, though.

I specifically like arcade games BECAUSE they're short. I'd much rather complete and replay a game like Time Crisis 5 in one hour's time instead of giving up 60 hours of my life to a home game.

That's such a cool novelty release.

Stern was the only major pinball manufacturer for many years in the 2000s. Jersey Jack really changed the game.

I had this game for a bit circa 2019. I wish I had been better at fixing games back then — considering I only sold it because I couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.

I find it interesting that people still espouse that opinion because continuation has been a thing in arcades for ages now.

The real war is getting people to respect modern (video) arcade games.

These early licensed games are so interesting. I particularly like seeing superhero stuff that can really only draw upon the comics for inspiration.

It has blown my mind to learn that my hometown is such a big deal in the cryptid space. 😅

Rooting for a wide arcade release that operators like myself can provide to players in other states. 😁🙏

It's just not something that ever stuck out to me as remarkable to me about Hoptown until I heard someone from Wisconsin mentioned it to me. I don't much follow cryptid stuff. 😅

Have you not noticed that many people are unaware that new arcade games exist? It's a pretty common phenomenon amongst people who don't play video games often.

I have no problem with the passion or people enjoy the classics. I have been active in the arcade industry for nearly 10 years myself. I just meant the forever '80s slant has unfortunately become a bit reductionist with time. I routinely meet TikTok viewers who are blown away new arcade games exist.

The official Exa cabinet looks nice. I wonder how much it costs by itself.
