Video – Arcade Warehouse raid, 2001

Now this is arcade heaven – video of a warehouse ‘raid’ in March 2001 by JWC, SteveW and Exidy (screen names of course – I used to correspond with JWC back in 2001 or so when he and these guys were publishing a magazine called SYZYGY, which had a lot of cool arcade coverage and related interviews). If you know anything about arcade history, you’ll notice quite a few amazing finds in this video, with some extremely rare games just sitting there, collecting dust. Hopefully these games have found good homes and weren’t thrown out as there is some great history that was there for the picking.
