Retro fans, check this out! It's one of the last classic arcade oases left in the world.

Behold! (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=search_videos&search_sort=relevance&search_query=funspot&search=Search)

Tons of great videos there. Check out #2 for the whole walkthrough of the place.

There's an article about it in issue #27 of Retro Gamer Magazine. It says that nothing there dates past 1987- games, decor, even the music they play. They have over 500 cabs spread over 3 floors.


...and it's in New Hampshire.

As far from me as humanly possible. :(

Obviously an impressively expansive place, but I don't feel too envious. My favorite arcade era is the 90's. (An arcade without Metal Slug is not an arcade.)

I couldn't watch that video it was so bad. I couldn't read any of the titles and the camera was too eager to pan away. Any still pics of this place and/or a list of games they have?

I´ve never experienced a real arcade. There are none in Germany, since arcades fall under the same laws as Las Vegas-style slot machines, so they are not allowed for children. No children, no arcades.
