Apparently you aren't familiar with Clay Cowgill and Ground Kontrol.

Not only is Funspot NH great. It bills itself as the largest arcade in the world. Has the largest collection of classic arcade games I've ever seen. All very well maintained. The arcade is evidently featured in a documentary entitled The King of Kong. Because it's also where they hold a lot of classic arcade game tournaments. It's about a 2 hour drive from Boston. But a closer airport would be Manchester, NH:

Yes, it is an awesome place.
I will be there on my birthday in October and I plan on doing the day from 10am - Midnight. We usually take a break from the games there and go downstairs to the bowling alley, have a pizza and bowl a couple of games.
Always a good time.

I would love to make it over to that penny arcade in Duncannon Pa.
maybe someday even Castles and Coasters.

Its not really a classic arcade, though they have a couple of classics, but we had a great time at Disney Quest in Downtown Disney.

It's definitely worth it. it's about 4 - 5 hours for me too, from CT.

Been a long time since I posted here.....

I wanted to recommend that anyone who is near Pittsburgh really needs to go check out PAPA.  Their collection of pinball machines is simply unbelievable.  I think it is only open to the public 2 or 3 times a year, but it is certainly worth the road trip.  You can check out their website and blog for more info....  They do have some videogames, but mostly pins.
