Arcade tips for Boothbay Harbor

A few things worth knowing before you work through Boothbay Harbor's arcades:

• Pinball rewards regulars at Pier 1 Fun1!. Pinball tables have personalities and moods. Play the same table a few times and you'll start reading it.
• Respect the machine queue at Video Arcade. One credit, then rotate on busy machines. Camping a popular cabinet on a Saturday night is poor form.
• Set a budget. Arcade spending evaporates. Decide the amount up front, load it on the card, and stop when it's gone.
• Bar-arcades: pace yourself. Drinks and games mix well until they don't. The machines get harder exactly as you get worse at them.
