Sun, Surf, and Street Fighter: The World of East Coast Beach Arcades

When kids of all ages tire of the sand and surf, they can hop on to the boardwalk for video games and the chance to win big prizes. Join me as we experience Fun-O-Rama in York Beach, Maine, a classic beach arcade I've been visiting for over thirty years.
