JAKARTA Arcades. (Pic heavy.)

[monouchi]

Was in Jakarta a month ago and played some games.
Here are some pics for you.

The arcade-scene in jakarta is dying, replaced by kiddy-rides.

XXI arcade:




















Food Court arcade:
... a place outside in the heat where cabs come to die...


































































Artha Gading arcade:


































































Game Master arcade:
Once home for the hardcore players in jakarta, now dead and full with kids.


























XXI Artha Gading arcade:
Blasts galore.










































Ancol Bowling arcade:
A forgotten place..




























































PCB shop:
Dont think for a second this shop was like a pcb shop in Japan.
Almost impossible to find.
























End.

It's like a crime scene nice pictures though

The storm city is one ugly mother.

I think those Blast City benches look scary.

I'm kinda surprised there even was an arcade scene in Jakarta in the first place. Learn something new everyday.
Thanks for all the pics, here and on the Tokyo thread

Yes, they wanted £180 for the cute and they would fix it plus check the screen if I wanted to buy it.

[IDCHAPPY]

£180 aint bad ,make a nice wee project for someone.

[Lunatico]

Yes, they wanted £180 for the cute and they would fix it plus check the screen if I wanted to buy it.

That's a good price, shame that I am far away from Jakarta....

Thanks for the pics and info.

"fix it", lol. who really wants to know what those cabs look like on the inside?

i meen .. there's not much they can do about the climate, but i really wonder why they seem to treat their stuff like ****. there's just no excuse for all those fag burns and general filth.
honestly, i wouldn't have touched that cab.

[Mokum]

At first I got to admit I lol'd, but then I felt so sad for those poor cabs thinking at their great glory back in the days
