Tokyo Retro Arcade
« on: January 30, 2012, 07:15:17 PM »
Our newest member Dr Blair made me remember that i still had some pictures on my old pc about a cool retro arcade in Tokyo.

As most of you will know Japan is filled with candy cab´s, in the 3 weeks i spend over there i visited lot's of arcades and the only classic cab i came across was sega hang-on in Hiroshima, so it was a great surprise to find a place with older machines. I especially liked the outrun and pole position cockpits, but the tables and and decoration were also great.

Yeah, it looks great but the game play is a bit dull.

Thats a shame ....

really great pics....the only thing I miss is Bishi-Bashi. Totally love that !!!!!

Would be great to have that at a future Eurocade but I know these beasts are HUUUUUUUGE !!!

I love the concept of all thise minigames  and it sure is fun with three players :) its simply nice to bang away at huge buttons for a change ;)

But Bishi is too modern for that place I suppose....(see, I do like modern day Japanese arcade games. I would also love to play a Samba d'Amigo arcade cab.....

I now see i made this topic in the meetings and event section, which is wrong, could you (bruno) place it in the general arcade topic?

Love the mood in there: everywhere you look there's something cool to see wether toys, posters, signs or games.
... and of course that Out Run  :o
Thanks!

I second that. I liked the "Densha de Go" arcade machine and would've tried the "Arms Champ", if I were there.
