Funspot Tour Part 1 (03/08)

Here is the first part of our two part walk through tour of Funspot. This video was taken in March of 2008 before the Summer time expansion was added.

This part consists of the Classic Arcade Museum. The third floor of FunSpot houses one of the very best collection of arcade and pinball games from the 70's, 80's and even some from the early 90's. (Smash TV!)

(Sorry for the poor video quality in advance, also a big hello to all of our fellow G1's!)

I was born in 83. When I used to come here as a kid it was just a cool place to go every year. Now it's like a museum.

@e8tballz The third floor is a museum. They were the first organization to be recognized by the US government as an interactive museum for arcade games. Other gaming museums like the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas use FunSpot as an example when they file for a museum permit.

@nick12882 Having played all the classic arcade games as a kid and now as an adult, I've always been taken aback at how small cabinets for games like Donkey Kong and Frogger were. Also, the old arcade cabinets seemed hollow in comparison to what would later come in the late 1980's.

@masanf Yup, it's still there. They have a whole section on the wall about the restoration of the machine and the history of the game too.

They have Death Race? I can still remember 30+ years ago when a group was trying to get it banned.
