Here's an Japanese report on a American treasure. This place is located at the base of the White Mountains in the Lake regions N.H. The whole area is a little slice of heaven.
Were almost done finishing a lake side camp I purchased with my sister and her family. 15 minutes from where the video was shot If you ever go PM me for info on the area and other things to do. Great place for families to decompress.

There are a few video's to complete the series. The games are subtitled in English and give the date produced.
I love the narrator. He jumps on a plain to LAX and then cross country to BOS or Manchester N.H. Rents a car and ends up in the woods in New Hampshire and is happy as a pig in his element.

Oh my gosh! That is too funny.. Yes he is in the woods for sure, but so cool he found FunSpot nestled in the New Hampshire woods.
The room he first started in was under constrction the last time I was in there, and down on the left side in a corner room was a bunch of Video games they must have picked up in and auction or something. (actually shows the room with games in it now) They were in mostly incomplete condition, most were open, and parts hanging around and such. But it was like walking around in an old ware house of old coin op games. I found it pretty cool actually..

I wonder why they only shot in that one room? Maybe he only had permision to shoot that one room.

There are actually 8 videos they did of the funspot (scroll down on the right in the link). Covering practically every machine . It quite a video library. I can almost understand what is being said in general terms~ kinda

They have some other cool vids as well...

Here's a link to their home page

Oh okay, I was going to say there is a LOT to cover at funspot. And yea when they say the name of the machine, you can hear it fairly clear. I almost remember seeing that guy in this area last summer somewhere. Maybe it was at funspot, although I didn't see anyone else with him.

that is a good video
I like "atari-O"

Now we need an American to film a tour of the FunSpot and narrate it in English.
Any volunteers?

Well maybe since I live about 45 min's away. I would be the likely canidate?
Only thing is I'm not signed up for you tube

Might be next summer, but your on. Unless the beat's me to it.

Forest, thanks for that video.
the closest thing to a real arcade around here is Craigs cruisers, they do have a load of games. I was disappointed in the condition of the pinball machines, they were poorly maintained. They needed to have better repair tech's IMHO.

the best arcade I have been to for pinballs has to be John Dayhuffs, he has an amazing collection, check it out!

John has some rare machines, Brenda and I played doubles on almost all of them, we passed on the Big Guns, she didn't like the one I owned.

Another great arcade over in East Lansing is Pinball Pete's. Pete's is next to the MSU campus. Here is someone doing a fast lap around the arcade. I wish they spent more time on each machine.

Nice Vid's! I remember way back when, in the old barn I had a Bar (dive) and bult in a large Coke machine (with Beer) in the wall much like the MTN due machine. Takes up less space that way. At one point I also had a snack machine I found on the side of the road.
Only had one quite old Pin, a Dootle Bug. Came from Vermont, but had been in a flood, over all it took me about a month to get it working. The back glass was wiped, so I found a Bush beer poster, cut out where the score was, and the ball count. taped it to the glass and it actually looked nicer than it was. The play field was pretty nice considering....

It was a fun machine to play. I still have photos of that some where.
We had a lot of great times there.

John Dayhuff is in Battle Creek he has a party about this time every year.
About the closest bar with a pin is the Vesatl.

I played DR. Dude in the Spicy Bob's/Bigby coffee building in Gaylord on my way up north this weekend. It is right next to the SB exit to Gaylord off I-75.

seems like he as an awesome place
the bars by me have been getting pinballs lately
maybe a new salesman in the area?

Check the tags on the machines, I noticed the pins in the Vestal are from The Game Room guys, just down the road from the bar.
