I love arcade tokens. I collect them. I get excited when I open up a game and find a bunch in the bottom. I picked up a 3 lil pigs redemption machine that didn't have any tokens in the coin box. Then I looked in the access panel on the back and it looks like an entire coin box of tokens was spilled into the machine. It looks like a lot of them are from a place called Circus World Pizza. Has anyone heard of this place? I looked it up and it seems to be similar to Show Biz Pizza. I found some other tokes they have "Fun n' Games Arcade Highgate Commons CTR St. Albans. VT" on them. Does anyone know of this arcade. I looked it up and it is a 15 hour drive from my location. I would love to know the journey this game took.

Does anyone else collect tokens? I love them. They help bring me back to when I was a kid playing in arcades.

Once I get all of the tokens cleaned I will see if I find tokens from another arcade.

I live 10 miles away from St. Albans.

That was ahead of my time, but Highgate Commons is a strip mall with some weird enclosed walk-through areas. I have some good guesses where the location would have been...
 
I used to work at Fun N' Games in the early 90's. It was owned by the Lyla Corporation in Burlington Vt. Lyla Corporation went out of business around 1999. It was a great little arcade next to Pizza Hut in the commons. I have many great memories there and purchased my first pinball from them. I hope this helps with the history of your game and tokens. I still have some Fun N' Games tokens.
