Dtoid New England Presents: Funtimes at Funspot!
DtoidNewEngland | 11:55 AM on 06.17.2009 12 comments


Hey there friends, I would like to invite you all to come out with us next weekend on the 27th of June in Laconia, NH to a wonderful place called Funspot: American Classic Arcade Museum and "Home of the Largest Arcade in the World!" If you haven't joined the New England Google Group yet, please do and give some feedback. If you can't drive, see if anyone lives nearby and carpool.

Corny titles aside, this will be our first get together since the inception of this group so be sure to show some local support! It should be a great time considering there is no way one can get bored at a place like this. It has Ten Pin and Candle Pin bowling. For our eating and drinking needs there is a restaurant and tavern. It certainly has one of the biggest classic gaming rosters I've ever seen including Space Ace, Defender and Galaga! With a decent semi typical list of arcades like Super Street Fighter 2, Time Crisis, Daytona USA etc...So, you know what to do people. Come join us!

Weird, there was a place called Family Fun Spot outside of Philly that I used to go to as a kid. Ours had water slides, though, so we win.

This place has the American Classic Arcade Museum therefore it wins all Family Fun Spots in existence.

This is best arcade around, used to go all the time when i was a kid. They have the sit down stars wars arcade vector game and paperboy with the bike handle bar controller, my favorites. They also taped a few scenes from the "King of Kong" there.

damn dtoid new england has alot of ground to cover.

i live in CT and its a 250 mile drive from my house. 4hours. i guess if anyone lives near rt91 i could pick some people up on the way there.

i would love to goto this but depending on how long it goes on and drinking and so forth i dont think i would want to drive back that same day.

Shame you didn't do this at the end of last month for the International Classic Video Game tournament. Basically, all of the "King of Kong" crew (minus Billy and Steve) are in attendance.

$30 gets you in the tourney and all recorded scores end up on Twin Galaxies. If it's top 5 all-time material (on most games) it ends up in the print version of their site.

I played spoiler this year by preventing one of the guys from winning the vendor challenge (and $200) by being in first place on one of six machines. At least 61 world records broken over the weekend on the main arcade floor.

It's worth the trip up just to be an outsider at the event. The "hardcore" classic gaming crowd is quite possibly the most snobby group out there.

You can find DVD Movies now online due to high technology. DVD Movies online is rather cheap and have full seasons. You needn’t wait for months and you needn’t downloads for nights. Now you can order hundreds of DVD BOX SETS in few minutes.
P90X is the good Body Building Guide for family. Both women and men can excise their body everyday in home which is very comfort and easy.Spongebob is the best seller of dvd sets online.
Also Star Trek Series sell very good because its fan are not only adult, but also elder and children.
Star Trek has 5 series all are very interesting and amazing, it is why Star Trek can last for 5 series.
What I like most is Scrubs and Desperate House wife. I like these dvd box sets because it affect the real life, I feel the story and roles are real in these 2 dvd boxset. But my mom like True Blood
And Lostwhich are full of fantasy and amazing. She said she can feel very relax while watching these fantasy movies after a day heavy housework. Yes, she is right, people watch movies for full most.
My Daddy like Greys Anatomyand also Dexter, he likes comedy and he feel very happy while watch these comedy dvd box set, for example:
Big Bang Theory
My husband like action and suspense movies most, he feel very exciting when watch these dvd box sets, the master piece should be CSIand Bones
There are too many good dvd sets and movies and we haven’t time to introduce one by one. You can search online to find many famous movies such as
Ncis and the new released one Doctor Who
