Funspot Interview

I had the pleasure of traveling up to Laconia, NH today and sitting down with Gary Vincent and Bob Lawton of Funspot to speak with them about their combined experience of over 75 years in the arcade industry. Funspot is officially the largest arcade in the world according to the Guiness Book of World Records as of last year and the home to the American Classic Arcade Museum and host for the upcoming American Classic Video Game and Pinball Tournament in May. I finished editing my interview with Bob and Gary and hope to have it up on the Front Page soon. In the Meantime, here are a few videos that contain footage taken at Funspot and the American Classic Video Arcade Museum to tide you over.

That's funny, because I JUST did a history segment in my gaming podcast a week or so ago (not 2old2type) about Steve Wiebe and Billy MItchell along with some history of Donkey Kong Junior. Kinda funny.

Well, code, if you would like to meet those guys, chances are they will be in NH next month. I am heading up for the event and would love to have a 2old2play contingent there.
