Caine's Arcade

  • 0:01 - 0:03
    (Caine's Arcade)
  • 0:03 - 0:11
    (various games are shown)
  • 0:11 - 0:14
    [Caine] my name is Caine, I'm 9-years old.
  • 0:14 - 0:17
    My arcade is called Caine's Arcade (onscreen: This is not a toy)
  • 0:17 - 0:21
    It opens on weekends only and it's really cheap.
  • 0:21 - 0:24
    [off voice] Caine does not pass by an arcade without stopping in.
  • 0:24 - 0:28
    He loves tickets and playing games. He loves prizes.
  • 0:28 - 0:31
    So it was only natural for him to build his own arcade.
  • 0:31 - 0:35
    He loves to see how things are built.
  • 0:35 - 0:39
    He takes all his toys apart to see how they work.
  • 0:39 - 0:42
    He can't put them back together, but he takes them apart.
  • 0:42 - 0:46
    Caine spent summer vacation coming to work with me - we sell auto parts in East L.A. -
  • 0:46 - 0:53
    [Caine] My dad has lots of boxes back there, to ship parts out.
  • 0:53 - 0:56
    So I cut them up to make my arcade games out of it.
  • 0:56 - 1:02
    The first game I made, the baseball hoop I got at Shaky's pizza, and it's really cool.
  • 1:02 - 1:08
    [off voice] And he taped it on to a box, and he was offering people chances to play for, like a nickel.
  • 1:08 - 1:13
    He started from that little game and, little by little, they started getting fancier and fancier.
  • 1:13 - 1:15
    And eventually he took over the whole store
  • 1:16 - 1:19
    I met Caine randomly.
  • 1:19 - 1:22
    I had to get a door handle for my '96 Corolla.
  • 1:22 - 1:24
    So I pulled into this used auto parts store,
  • 1:24 - 1:30
    and I just came across this elaborate cardboard arcade.
  • 1:31 - 1:33
    I asked him how much it was to play.
  • 1:33 - 1:36
    He's like, for one dollar you get four turns,
  • 1:36 - 1:39
    but for two dollars, you get a fun pass.
  • 1:39 - 1:40
    Well how many turns do you get for a fun pass?
  • 1:40 - 1:42
    You get 500 turns for a fun pass.
  • 1:42 - 1:44
    I got a fun pass.
  • 1:44 - 1:47
    [Caine] I made this fun pass that expires in one month
  • 1:47 - 1:51
    and you get 500 plays of any of these games.
  • 1:51 - 1:55
    You get a great deal. And I started making my office.
  • 1:55 - 1:58
    I have like, a speaker on there so I can talk through.
  • 1:58 - 2:03
    I got tokens, my business card, fun passes and prizes.
  • 2:03 - 2:07
    The first prizes, I used my old toys like, the cars were my old toys.
  • 2:07 - 2:11
    [Vroom!] I used to like Hot Wheels when I was little.
  • 2:11 - 2:16
    [Off voice - father] I work from the back office and it kept him out of my hair all Summer.
  • 2:16 - 2:19
    He would work on the arcade. I'd work on eBay
  • 2:19 - 2:23
    [Caine] My next game I built was a soccer game.
  • 2:23 - 2:25
    First of all it didn't have no goalies.
  • 2:25 - 2:29
    People said it was too easy. So I bought army goalies.
  • 2:29 - 2:33
    They're my blockers. I thought, is it easy now?
  • 2:33 - 2:37
    It's pretty hard so you get two tickets if you make it in here.
  • 2:37 - 2:41
    I'll give it a "four star" hard game, challenging game.
  • 2:42 - 2:44
    Four star!
  • 2:44 - 2:46
    [Off: father] One day Caine tells me, "Dad!"
  • 2:47 - 2:48
    "I wanna buy a claw machine."
  • 2:48 - 2:50
    I say, "why don't you just build it?"
  • 2:50 - 2:57
    So he got a .......... hook, put a piece of yarn on it, then put a little track (?) on top of the box
  • 2:57 - 3:04
    and I said: "What the heck? He figured out how to make a claw machine with a string and a hook!"
  • 3:04 - 3:07
    [Caine] And here are some sunglasses. These are the glasses I like the most.
  • 3:07 - 3:11
    So, sunglasses.
  • 3:11 - 3:15
    He'd buy calculators to put on every arcade game, and I go: "What's that for?"
  • 3:15 - 3:19
    [Caine] The calculators are here for security, to see if it's a real fun pass or not.
  • 3:19 - 3:23
    On the back, the fun pass has a security number.
  • 3:23 - 3:28
    So when you go here, you have to turn it around and put the pin number in it.
  • 3:28 - 3:30
    And you chould check ................ and the big number comes up (3:30)
