Whats the decapitated vewlix with the 2 hugeass screens? Those arcades look about as crowded as the average western arcade

You are thinking about the Darius arcade. Widescreen shmup, very cool.

I was there in the morning = very empty = good for taking pics.
After about 50 pics I was told that taking pics was not allowed.

Later in the afternoon it got quite crowded.

Thanks for posting those. It's so good to see arcades alive and well somewhere in the world, I'd have been like a kid in a candy store there

Nice pictures.
Some machines showing signs of wear and tear (surely a good thing if you are an arcade operator); but can you imagine what they would look like after a few weeks in the UK?

I looked but didnt find the originals, they are prolly hidden away somewhere on some remote HD...

Check the homepages for MAK, G-Front and Try, they differ quite in prices.
Then just go on a shopping spree, they are VERY close to each other in Akihabara.
