We recently went on a day trip to the cec in Latham, NY which is just outside of Albany. Our goal was to fully document the studio c alpha interactive console. I thought you guys might be interested, so here you go! We split it up into 2 videos. The first focuses on the cameras and sounds. The second focuses on the activity center. Do we know how many locations still have this? The ones that I know of that do are: Latham NY, Wyomissing PA, Burlington NJ, and Berwyn PA |

This is surely the land of confusion.

Man sometimes I just wish Murray relocated (instead of only closing) with a Alpha. |

1999 is when it stopped appearing on the FunNet, the building is still around. It was a former SPP and revived CU but kept a sign (but repainted It), it is now a Chinese Gourmet and has the same sign (also being repainted again) to this day.

For those who are curious, here's a "semi-tour" of the Wyomissing Interactive Console, back in August 2015. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNsArVa0pTQ |

When was the last time you visited it? If it was recent, I guess we can update the list to have "As of 6/17" next to Grand Rapids. |

The latter is more likely. We're already halfway through 2017, and there are still more consoles than Road Stages. I expect the console to still be around in 2018. Early 2019 is possible too, since I imagine about 6-7 or so will be removed next year. If a console is in perfect shape (Like Latham) then I don't expect it to be gone until at least 2020 or maybe even 2021. |

I think the stage looks better without the console anyway- it makes it look cleaner. If I was managing a store and could do it I would get rid of the console ASAP. It's not like they really serve much of a purpose anymore. |

Only 9!? I GOTTA GET TO LATHAM QUICK!!! @Paul Yeah, it does make the stage look wider, and more spaced out, but part of the charm of the console was how appropriately it fit the theming of a STUDIO. When I was a kid, that thing was just as fun as playing the regular games. It looks so much better when attached to an Alpha that actually kept it's original theming. ![]() ![]() Doesn't it look more visually appealing in the first image compared to the second? Anyway, as sad as it is that there are more Road Stages than there are Consoles by this point, let's take a trip down memory lane with this image of Downingtown's Console in 2015.

Oh man...I gotta get to Latham and Bridgewater sometime this year. I really want to see the Console one last time in person ![]() Still, very excited to hear about your acquiring of a console, CECArizona. You're the perfect guy to own one. Also, am I the only one who feels like the Console fits in some kind of space ship in 60's Science Fiction? |
