Classic Arcade & Amusement Park Videos

Home videos of arcades taken in the 1980s and later.
Home videos & 8mm films of Amusement parks since the 1970s and later.
Since the early 1980s we've taken home video footage of arcades. Prior to 1982, we took many films using 8mm & Super 8 which includes many amusement parks and may include arcades. This is the first time we have shared any of this footage, other than our video of Rock Point amusement park of 1984 featured in the movie "You Must be this tall".
As a little kid in the early 1970s I learned to swim and spent my summers at the Spring Lake Arcade in RI, now the world's oldest penny arcade. My interest in arcades has spanned more than 40 years, since EM rifle games were common and video games besides Pong weren't yet available. About the age of 7, I decided I would collect arcade games when I could. It's difficult to find EM era games, but I'm also a huge fan of the golden era of video games from Space Invaders, Asteroids & Pacman til the end of the 80s.

1999 Canobie Lake amusement park featuring the Arcades & some rides
I ran a website from 1994 til the mid 2000s "Nate's Guide to Classic New England Arcades". On the advice of Gary Vincent of Fun Spot on locations to check out, he suggested Canobie Lake Park. I first visited in 1998, and was amazed what a time machine this place was for a classic arcade enthusiast like myself. I videoed every year from 1998 til just a few years ago. The park featured three arcades plus machines in other areas. Special thanks to the arcade tech Jeff, now of Shoot Again Amusements for taking me behind the scenes to see games in storage areas. It's my understanding most of these "extremely rare" arcade games were destroyed just a few years back for a tax write off. So the ne...
