Orlando and when I think of
International Drive the first thing or
first place that comes to m is always
this
McDonald’s this is the very first
McDonald’s my family visited in
Florida in 1993 upon our first visits to
Walt Disney World and Universal Studios
we stopped here a few times I really
loved McDonald’s and at that time it was
home to the world’s largest play place
it may still very well be the world’s
largest play place not so sure on that
point being when I think of
International Drive right here I think
of this McDonald’s so I wanted to throw
this in

  1. Man! I'd be in heaven with all them classic arcade games. Thanks for the 411 on this arcade TJ

  2. Awesome arcades, my friend!
    I haven't been in an arcade in many years.
    Have a blast! Hugs 🤗 and God bless ❤️🙏❤️

  3. So Arcade monsters looks like a good mix of games. You don't really need to see Japanese arcade after that. However Player 1 when it was its old location use to be a place that I hung out at A LOT. I don't think I've been to a bar in years now not when beers out here can be about under buck.

  4. You had my attention captured with 'for today's creature feature.'👾 Between McDonald's and all of arcade horror attractions definitely a great way to spend the day.

  5. Awesome places both👍🏼
    Like you, some of these trigger great flashback memories. For me, 1980’s and Tron at Starcade in Disneyland. My family waiting patiently as I just had to knock out that last light cycle!

  6. Awesome video Jay! Those 2 game places are really cool. There is a game place in Gainesville called Bragging Rights. I haven't been yet I do follow there Facebook page and they have alot of really good retro games there. It's like 20 something dollars and all the free play a person wants to play on games.

  7. Man I would love to do a colab with you. I noticed you were drinking a craft beer. I do beer reviews and what better way to drink one is in an arcade!

  8. That use to be lil darlings ,it was a 50s theme hop joint they use to film in there in the 90s , behind it use to be Old Town 50s theme candy ,soda etc shops for tourists. Crazy!! Lots of famouse 50s rock n rollers walked thru there

  9. I work with player 1 in vegas on certain events and its an awesome hidden gem and is by unlv so it seems to do well most nights definitely a great addition to Vegas attractions!!

  10. That was a lot of fun, Jay. I enjoy the original games, especially since I was playing them when they first came out… Love it 🙂

  11. At 19:55 Maybe not the same answer that Josh Baskin got in big, but eeriely I think what many of us including myself needed to hear. There is still much ahead. Right on brother.

  12. Just went there a week ago, racked the Galaga high score. Nice and Big open and huge artwork. Love it so much, prob gonna be my next music video spot.

  13. Wow… $5 for free-play at that second arcade is an awesome deal. Wish I lived near one.

  14. I am a huge fan of the Star Wars trilogy, and the sound the tie fighters make as they fly by in the movie are actually the sound of a elephant played backwards.

  15. I recommend you go and try 1-Up in downtown Orlando. It'll make for a good video.

  16. They used to have so many of these arcades in Southern California. Wish they have one of this here.
