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.
