Great article Tom. Shame that even the Chinese arcades feel doomed now... :(

I'd really love to make a trip to perhaps Tokyo and it's murky arcade underworld. I've even got the go-ahead from the wife, should I actually work up the resolve.

Problem for me is I'm quite intimidated by the culture and general lack of knowledge. I spent ages pouring over the ace blog here :

I'd go. I really would. Even a pod hotel lol! ...Some day. :shifty:
