But it really needs to be played with a trackball 😁. They have a good Marble Madness machine at Funspot.

Recently, a game heavily inspired by Marble Madness came out, BPM Boy and it was great fun.

Found the Beetlejuice pinball at a visit to the Funspot classic arcade last night. It’s the first table from Spooky Pinball I’ve seen and I’ve got to say, I’m impressed! Really fun, creative layout with a great use of theme.

A few years ago, I got to go to the Funspot arcade in Laconia, NH. I got there early and for a litte bit I was the only one on this floor and I snapped this photo of paradise.
Funspot Arcade retro arcade floor with no one around. Just arcade games everywhere and a stairwell leading down in the center.

Also at Funspot arcade, star Wars and, much much rarer, Star Trek sot-down cabinets. Star Wars is scarce but I haven’t seen Star Trek since the 80s. I’d forgotten what a great-looking cabinet it has.

Mag Bay performed in Gilford, NH AND they checked out the FunSpot arcade. I knew I was a fan for a reason 😍 such a great spot for video games

yeah..... :( likewise grew up a few minutes from the fayetteville funspot (one of the other super old theme parks from the post) and had tons of memories there; i wish i had a chance to get down there one more time -- looking them up online and seeing how little has changed is such a nostalgia hit

Went to Funspot and Weirs Beach with @xbladewolfx.bsky.social , @sniperwuff.bsky.social and Windscar yesterday!

Good chill day, gorgeous weather, and tons of arcade games and token slinging!

i might have had Funspot tokens left over, if Joust II wasnt such a quarter-munching hog. Another missed opportunity!

Also better than the Trump Coin and much more likely to hold their value:
A wooden nickel. A Chuck E. Cheese coin Showbiz Pizza coin. A Shit Coin with a turd emoji logo.

everyone loves the story of the journalist who finds out his wife is one of the best tetris players in the world and didn’t even know it, but there’s a really funny coda to this story and it’s that the previous record holder said “absolutely the fuck not” and just demolished her score the next month
Funspot...The Spot for Fun! World Record or Bust! THE SURREAL STORY OF ONE WOMAN'S SHOT AT VIDEO GAME SUPREMACY BY BILLY BAKER That's what my wife and I entered when we drove up to an arcade in Weirs Beach, New Hampshire, where she would attempt to break an official world record in the classic video game Tetris. By Billy Baker | August 19, 2007 It turns out that her version of Game Boy Tetris is Tetris DX, the same as the original game but in color, and it is a separate category, according to Twin Galaxies rules, with a much higher record. I look at Flewin's computer and see the name Harry J. Hong, along with his record: 545 lines. Lori can get 545 lines. I know this. I also know it is considerably harder than the 327 lines Flewin had initially told me about (which is the record for the original black-and-white version of Tetris for the Game Boy). She is already 40 minutes into her attempt, and I am certain that Day and Flewin aren't going to sit around to watch another attempt if she fails. Despite my efforts, Lori hears a bit about what is going on and yells at me - the way wives yell at their husbands when they're being shady - to explain what is happening. I give her the lowdown, but she would later tell me all she heard was "500-something." At 5:01 p.m. on the Funspot clock, she completes her 545th line and then leaves Harry J. Hong in the dust. At 600 lines, with her blocks still at the bottom, she glances over at me quickly. "Billy, I definitely have the record, right?" "Oh, yeah," I reply. "Now you're just showing off." The crowd is getting into it. Twice, she makes mistakes and the pieces pile to the top of the screen, but she gets out of it. After an hour of playing, Lori makes one mistake too many and her game ends. She has destroyed the record - her final score is 841 lines. We would later determine this was her second-best game ever. WHO HARRY HONG WHERE UNITED STATES (FUNSPOT,NEW HAMPSHIRE) WHEN 13 SEPTEMBER 2007 With an amazing line tally of 4,988, and the highest possible score of 9,999,999, American gamer Harry Hong was crowned "Tetris DX Marathon Champion" on 13 September 2007. The record was made at Funspot in New Hampshire, USA, the world's largest arcade centre. Featured in Guinness World Records Gamers Edition 2011 GWR Video Gamer's Edition 2008

I wrote about TX-1, which is practically unknown in America but was huge in Japan for years alongside the likes of Pole Position. A number of TX-1's hardware and game design innovations would eventually make it into the likes of OutRun and even Darius: you should know about this three-screen wonder.

ADAM display at Funspot. I wanted one of these so badly when they came out — it was a PC that plugged into my ColecoVision! Thankfully my dad heard how crappy they were & got an Apple //e instead (eventually).

I’ve played 3 baseball games in the last 24 hours (in New Hampshire/Maine) & body feels like it’s made of balsa wood and haunted old rusted antique toys.

But it’s been a lot of fun and also I have one more game tomorrow

In the meantime I am somewhere called funspot

Looking for an affordable day out with the kids?

Crowds are minimal, so lines are short; kids can hop on ride after ride without long waits.
