BROOOOO I USED TO LIVE IN THAT TOW I REMEMBER THIS ARCADE 😭😭😭
You're the man for doing this. Haven't been there since 1999 and the place hasn't changed one pit.
One pit :)
Has covid negatively affected this place? I hope not because I really want to go next year! They're still open right?
This is heaven and so lively. For some reason I find 8/16 bit graphics seem to take me into a whole new world those neon lights eminating from displays..so relaxing . Over the top those ambient Iighting seems to be tuned to perfection. And those cute nostalgic noises ..man this is the most relaxing place in the world
Hey man I wanted to reach out to you and ask if I could use some footage from this for a Top 10 Arcade Machines videoI have planned.... I live in NH as well, just havent been able to get to funspot because of Covid to get some footage myself... OF COURSE I will credit you :) Thanks in advance!! Appreciate the 4k as well
Yes, you may use it, as long as it’s distributed publicly and not a paid/private release.
@@owlnonymous ok thanks man :)
That Crazy Taxi music took me back to those good times
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahhhhh. Gotta love the offspring.
Thank you. I was trying to convince the kids to go they said no then I showed them this they changed there minds
2:10 - you just walked by a game that was a huge controversy when it came out because it was
"graphic and violent"
I spent some time on that Marble Madness machine when I was there. One of my favs, and only time i got to play it with the roller ball, and not a Dpad.
Thank you so much for posting. I haven't been there in at least 8 years.
Literally goin to the same place tomarrow
Have fun!
Seriously considering taking the drive from Ohio to NH just to go here, it looks awesome
Where are the people that play all this wanderfull games,why ,i don't understand very well,this Is the best video games of the world
Wish that was closer, Awesome! They even have Operation Wolf!
Thank you for the taking the time to do this and sharing. All the best from England UK.
Looks like fun, I’d love to see it in person some day. So much history. I have a question though..In all of the Funspot tour videos in the years following the KoK movie, it seems that the customer foot traffic is non-existent. There isn’t any staff walking around or manning the concessions. The bowling alley seems to have some occasional activity. At the end of the video you said ‘it’s still going strong’ and to me it looks like it’s a lot of space that’s practically abandoned and someone forgot to shut off the electricity. Is Funspot ever busy? How do they stay in business? Just the time of day? Is the staff picky about having people film inside?
I would def' recommend visiting one day. As for how busy it was, it's very seasonal. This is currently the slowest time of the year. It gets a lot busier in summer. I haven't ever been called out for filming, but usually I am just doing short walkthroughs. I would clear a longer session with them in advance.
Id like to say i went yesterday after a snow storm from the day prior, and it was insane. Parking lot was full all day and i was constantly having little kids walk into me. Probably has slow days along the year but they Definitely made 10's of thousands of dollar yesterday before 6
It’s better than Bowlero and Dave and busters in 2021!!! Thanks for uploading it.
Hi, I was thinking of going there and taking video too. Were there any signs saying no filming or did anyone give you a hard time for filming? Thanks.
No signs and I walked by staff with my camera. I don't think it's an issue. I think as long as the focus is the games, that you will be fine.

There were a lot of cool Cabs but that TRON was Sweet! Too bad I didn’t see Discs of Tron which is one of my favorites of all Time! Plus NO Tournament CyberBall 2072?!? 🙄🤨
Just went a couple of weeks ago, much better than I expected and it was very reasonable in cost.
Nicely done. Thanks for the video.
I'd be in here daily
Are they really the world's largest arcade? That's a pretty bold claim.
Have you visited arcades in the last, uhm, 20 years?
@@jimbotron70 - I think Galloping Ghost is the world's largest. Or at least the largest in North America. They have almost 1000 arcade machines.
@@TheBigExclusive Guinness World Record certified Funspot as the largest in 2008 (1000+ games then)
The energy consumption must be staggering...
Absolutely amazing!! There's only one big hit missing: Street Fighter 2! 😃
I think they have a few SF2 downstairs
11:51 ”donkey kong kill screen coming up”
I saw Star Wars, Centipede, Dig Dug, Crazy Taxi, Moon Patrol, Q Bert, Burger Time, Smash TV, and other favorites. The doc The King of Kong was filmed here, great movie.
Why are 4 of the 5 laser disc games not working?
Most likely because the delicate laserdics optoelectronics or the discs themselves got damaged. There's a replacement hardware emulator available using laserdisc file dumps and no moving parts, search Dexter Laserdisc replacement.
No shit, Sherlock.
Pinball PA has all of them working including Firefox and Cliffhanger.
When a business puts in the effort….
There are NO working laserdisc players in a 6 or 7 day a week usage.
I counted at least sixteen games you'd have to drag me from, kicking and screaming.
Hahah
It’s wierd that so many people wanna go here. I live round here and it just seems like a normal arcade
Well... a normal arcade 🤣
16:34 they made a new Daytona arcade?
Its a thing of beauty
I went there in 2019
Marquee lights....
I went to the same one
The amount of machines here must be worth a fortune
This Could Be My Dream Come True
Street Fighter machines? Capcom machines? Shoot-em ups machines?
They DO have T2 the arcade from the 90s
Business is thriving eh?
