At 67 degrees North, are these some of the most Northern arcade games ever? A tiny line-up inside a snack shop on Qikiqtarjuaq (used to be called Broughton Island, up in Nunavut, Canada) might be a contender for the most Northern of pinball lineups. (previously we saw the Kuujjuaq Arcade near the 58th parallel)
This photo by George Hunter is from the late 1970s, probably around 1978 but we haven't been able to confirm. Thanks to my friend Amy Prouty (PhD candidate, Inuit art history) for passing this my way.

That arcade is up there as one of the coolest arcades ever ;-)
ReplyDeleteRight? I wonder if there is some secret Swedish or Russian arcade that gets close...
