CHINATOWN FAIR
« on: July 24, 2011, 07:07:35 pm »
Hey guys

Is there anyone out there that used to go to Chinatown Fair?  I'm looking for stories, photographs, video footage for my film.  It's been nearly impossible to find any sort of documentation of this place. 
You can check out the film here: www.arcademovie.com/trailer

Thanks!

yeah I played there for like 10 years :burgerking:

here are some videos.








I wasnt there last day to get some footage..wasnt even in NY at the time. CTF will be greatly missed. BUT there is a new arcade here called "next level". thats where most people hang out now. we have tourneys and stuff almost every week.

but its nowhere near as awesome at CTF was. cf was the last arcade where you can find nearly any game including most classics. if I was rich, I'd buy the land and donate it for the cause.

ARCADE: The Last Night at Chinatown Fair is the film I'm a producer for
Thanks for the videos  :)
I'm looking for some older stuff.  I know that the owner Sam had a really strict no photographs/filming policy until mid 2000s, but I'm hoping to find something...
