World's Largest Arcade
>> Classic Console Magazine reviews the Mecca
of Arcades, Funspot in Weirs Beach, NH
Mr. Gary Vincent, the museum's sole paid staff) There are
so many rows of games it literally almost brought tears
to my eyes the first time I stepped foot into the place.
Each area is broken up into various sections based on
publisher, and all the heavy hitters are there. Love Atari?
They've got it. Love Nintendo? They have that too. Almost
every game you could possibly think of they have. I literally
walked into the place with a list of arcade games I have
never played and was able to experience most of them.
Almost every game upstairs in the museum costs just 25
cents, and with coupons available on their website you can
almost always play for even cheaper. I recommend buying just
20 dollars at a time, as many times I ended up taking home lots
of tokens and that was after hours of awesome game play.

book stood out to me above all others due to my love of gaming
even at a young age. What is that place you ask? Funspot.
Funspot is literally the greatest place on earth for
a retro gamer. On top of the bowling alley, the bingo
hall and all the ticket redemption games, Funspot also
houses the American Classic Arcade Museum.
The museum houses tons and tons of games, all graciously
donated by fellow gamers and maintained and supported
by many volunteers (as well as through the hard work of

choices as well as a great bar. Nothing beats
