If anyone is near Laconia, NH I suggest you check out Funspot. It is a huge arcade that opened in the early 80's. I went there a lot as a kid and just went back today, I have one word...WOW. One whole floor is dedicated to retro arcade games. This place is retro nirvana. It was nice to see that it still has all the old games I remember. I will upload some pics latter. I remember a room that held old games...really old games, and a fortune teller. The room had a baseball game from the 20's or 30's, the fortune teller, this bowling game with a puck and a few others. I looked for them today and couldn't find any of them. Does anyone know what happened to them?

    Was the fortune teller like the one from Big?

      The Bowling game with a puck was probably Shufflebowl. I've seen Fortune Tellers a lot, are they in bootths and give you a ticket with a fortune on it when you put in like 50 cents? I don't know the Baseball game your talking about though. I wonder, do they have Paperboy arcade version there? That would be cool, I love playing Paperboy with the handlebars. An arcade at a giant farmers market near me has that along with a really old ten cent Car game.

        Hi everyone.
        The fortune teller is the one in the booth from BIG. Funspot does have the arcade version of paperboy with the handlebars. It is on the top floor by the indoor mini golf. The whole floor is set up as a living museam. I raced my sister on a racing game that was older than me. It was made in 1976 and still ran well. I only saw 3 games down, the rest worked.
        On another note, did anyone see the write up about it in Retrogamer?
