Curt Vendel of New York had a dream; to establish a permanent Atari games museum. Unfortunately he realized that was not likely to become a reality. This left him with a problem - an extensive collection of rare coin-op games in gathering dust in storage. So how did Curt solve this problem? He called Mike Stulir of Back in Time Classic Gaming and Mike hooked him up with Gary Vincent of the American Classic Arcade Museum at Funspot in Weirs Beach, NH. Because of this connection, Curt donated several of his classic video games to Funspot’s American Classic Arcade Museum.

With his initial problem solved, Curt now faced another; how to get eight classic video games to the largest arcade in the world three states away! “No problem,” said Mike, “we’ll drive ‘em.” With that declaration hardly off his tongue,, Mike met Curt on Staten Island, where the games were stored, to prepare for the games big move to the American Classic Arcade Museum. “I didn’t really realize what I was in for,” Mike recalls, “Curt had a pretty big collection.” The pair laid out the cash for a 24′ Uhaul truck which just barely fit Curt’s collection; everything from Breakout, to Skydiver, to Basketball, Nightdriver and many, many more. “It was quite a site to see that truck packed to the gills with all those games,” Curt remembers.

With the truck bursting they were ready to roll. First stop…Curt’s new pad north of New York City where they dropped some of the collection destined to become part of Curt’s new home arcade and game room. Then they hit the road to the green hills of New Hampshire and Funspot.

When Curt and Mike finally arrived, Gary was anxiously awaiting them with Dave Nelson, the holder of many classic arcade game records. Gary had enlisted Dave for help with the job of unloading the truck and getting the games into safe storage at Funspot.

As the task progressed and more and more games were safely stored in the workshop, the group’s excitement grew. “The shop is like a candy store and we all felt like kids!” Gary Vincent recalls. “The place is big and there are some games in there that no one has seen in 20-30 years.”

At last, the final game came off the truck - Super Breakout. Among the other games donated were Super Bug, Le Mans, Tank II and Outlaw.

“They couldn’t have gone to a better home,” says Curt, “I am very happy to know that they will be played and enjoyed by many people looking to relive old memories, and by a new generation of gamers looking to experience the treasures of the past and try them for the first time.”
