Old Sled Works Penny Arcade (Duncannon, PA)

[VectorGamer]

We visited the Old Sled Works this weekend which is an antique mall in Duncannon, PA about 20 minutes north of Harrisburg. At the far end of the building is a penny arcade filled with mechanical pinball and arcade games.

 

I remember back in the 70s the mall and boardwalk arcades had plenty of mechanical arcade games on the floor as there were not yet a whole lot of videos until the early 80s.

 

Here's a video I made that consists of a walkthrough and we play a few games including Pong.

Awesome! I don't think we have anything like this in the UK (to my knowledge).

Very cool place. Thanks for the video. Unfortunately most of those mechanical games were before my time and I never had a chance to play them back in the day. They had disappeared pretty quickly once the video games took over in the late 70s/early 80s. I hope they don't get completely lost to history, but how would you emulate them?

I stopped by this last weekend and filmed an updated video
