Went to Funspot today as I do each year. Wow, were things in order. First, the vector games were great, the monitors rocked. I have never played so many vectors that looked so good. They have added many machines since the last time I was here in 2011. I played some of my "grails" and many others that I love but either can't afford or find. The EM pins were all in great shape and played perfect. I spoke to Gary, the manager of ACAM and he provided an insight to how things work on an everyday basis in such a huge arcade. They maintain over 500 classic vids and at least that many redemption machines, a bowling alley and newer arcades with just two techs. I wish I lived closer; but feel lucky to visit at least a couple of times each year. Truly a flash back to the golden era of arcades. Hundreds of vids and pins with 80s sounds flowing brings me back to the arcades of my youth. If ever there is an opportunity to visit FUNSPOT make the effort as you will be rewarded. I took a few pictures but they really don't do it justice. Thanks again Gary and the people that keep ACAM going.

I am still waiting for them to fix their Death Race. Every time I have been there over the last 4 years, player 2 has been down. :(
 
Excellent place to visit. I spent a week this year in Weirs Beach. Tried to hook up with Gary, but never got connected. They sure have upgraded a lot since 2010.
 
I went there last year with my friend. It was a blast. The Atari vector row is awe-inspiring. First time I ever saw or played Quantum or Major Havoc. I also got to play ZooKeeper there for the first time. Looks like they have added a Food Fight since I was last there!

Amazing place. Can't wait to go back again someday!
 
Always a great time up there, been a while since I've been there, but Gary really takes of the games and does a fantastic job.

Not to take you away from Fun Spot, but on your way home you should hit Pinball Wizard Arcade in Pelham NH.. Largest public pin collection in the area, maybe even East Coast.. Plus they have a huge classic vid section.. Just visited this place for the first time last weekend.. Total kickass time!

Dang, wished I would have known about that place as well. Oh well, good excuse for another vacation in Laconia.

Did any of you guys get down to the beach and check out the 3 arcades there? They have quite a few classic vids and a lot of great pins. Very cool arcade area.
