By the way, this store

Old gun shooting arcade machines, etc.

They also have the old series of Initial D and the Tenkaichi Shogi Kai, which is pretty impressive.

Is your head Tanita?

There are only about 10 stores left nationwide…

It’s an incredible incident just by the fact that it’s increasing.

Mita, huh…

>>4

Is it in Mita!? But it turned out to be a different Mita.

I couldn’t believe there was such an arcade!? So I looked it up.

Sandaka

It is located in a position that can be easily accessed by train from both Kobe and Osaka.

When I went back from Masupi to Ake, I felt like I was going to go bald because I couldn’t hit anything.

Although it’s an old cabinet, can it still be maintained…?

There are plenty of other old games here as well.

I think there is a certain degree of know-how.

Thank you for your hard work on the maintenance.

Virtua Fighter Force and Time Crisis 2 and

A store where you can play Daytona USA, Thrill Drive 3, and Beatmania FINAL.

The Virtua-On community even has dedicated accommodations that are almost exclusively for Virtua-On.

>>13

What is that…?

>>13

I can’t help but wonder if it was just a wealthy person who happened to like Virtual-On and could afford to indulge in it…

I want to cherish shops like this.

A shop that occasionally operates in my neighborhood.

>>15

Is it by reservation?

>>16

It’s the type that can be reserved and has open days.

There are also amazing things like eight Daytona communication cabinets, four Sega Rally communication cabinets, and two OutRun 2 SP Deluxe cabinets, but the access is incredibly bad.

I wonder if there’s any balance left on my card…

It seems there are stores that only have Galospe.

Is the card still supported?

Or do they still have a large quantity from that time?

>>21

Support has ended, but there is a magnetic card that can be reused.

It’s surprising that shops like this don’t disappear even though they don’t make money.

I guess there is a dream in operating an arcade after all.

There is definitely a unique appeal that only game centers have.

There are surprisingly many stores in rural areas that also offer retro games like this.

>>26

First, we need land.

Indoor radio-controlled car races are also common in rural areas.

Is it tough here too?

The thrill drive, which was 20 yen per play not long ago, has now increased to 50 yen.

>>29

Of course, I’m playing for 50 yen too.

Isn’t it interesting, thrill drive?

I can live as long as I have the DX cabinet for Zenk
and HOD2.

I’d like to have an X-DAY for the first time in 30 years.

It would probably hit harder now.

There are ten yen shooters and such…

There are still game centers like this…

I want to stop by during my trip…

It’s an incredibly recommended arcade!

The downside is that ordinary people have no reason to go to Mita.

>>34

There’s an outlet, right!?

There are quite a few retro game centers in various places, but…

There is a significant difference between operating it as a proper job and being a fanatic who liberates the machines, and the latter is a minefield.

It’s really sad that Tsujishoten is gone.

It’s pretty tough that two retro game centers have burned down and disappeared.

Recently, the owner of the retro arcade passed away unexpectedly, and the country decided to dispose of all the machines, but I wonder what happened…

>>38

I wonder if it’s possible for volunteers to take it over or something like that.

>>42

The original owner has passed away, and since it’s the store’s assets, it wouldn’t be possible for a third party to take them arbitrarily.

In that case, it will be judged as having no value and will have to be disposed of.

>>42

It seems like the kind of trend that retro game center operators would dislike the most.

Sadly, it’s a world full of severe slander and abuse from self-proclaimed volunteers who want to take over the game of hope…

>>52

Is there a lot of slander and defamation?

Why!?

>>56

They won’t operate the game I want.

They won’t give up the game I want.

If I kept saying various things, I was treated carelessly.

Anyway, at famous retro game centers, there are always some crazy people who hold grudges for one reason or another.

>>56

I’m also involved in the operation of an arcade that collects retro medal games.

There are people who criticize that arcade for not putting in the games they want, spreading slander and defamation.

There are actually people who go so far as to harass a store to the level of shutting it down, claiming that I should be able to manage and operate it better than you all…

>>62

Scary… too abnormal…

>>68

I’ve talked several times with a lawyer about what I dislike.

I ask if you really have the confidence to manage it once it truly passes into your hands.

That’s not my role! I should go to a place where I can run things better! I’m just doing this!

Damn

>>107

Moreover, it’s scary that some of them are actually very mature adults because they are into retro games…

>>107

How can you be so arrogant when you’re relying on others?

>>114

“We support with our lives, so baseball players who can’t deliver results should die!”

The Force behaves completely differently between the home version and the arcade version, you know…

At the time of the 360 port, it was said that the original data was lost, but the home version has much more effective weapon guidance, making it quite a different game.

>>39

Just recently, since the data couldn’t be reused, I recreated it! Sega is bringing back things like Spike Out, Daytona 2, and Ocean Hunter as mini-games.

>>48

That’s so typical of Sega…

I think it’s time to seriously consider the preservation of retro game cabinets.

The lifeline of the Ekuba people in Mita City.

>>43

You can go out immediately in Kobe or Osaka, right?

I think if this is here, we hardly need any other games.

Now, just being a game center that feels like a game center can make it a travel destination.

Two precious retro game centers have been burned down in fires in recent years.

>>45

Are you talking about that place in the New World?

Meal can easily take up a whole day for someone who really likes old-school arcades.

What the heck is Virtual-On being ported for?

Wait, why is the original source here before that?

It’s quite a dangerous premise, or rather, don’t answer such things in a magazine interview.

If you think about it, there isn’t a single game center in the prefecture where there are more game cabinets than catchers and medals…

I have no idea how retro game centers like this can be profitable, but are people starting them now either wealthy or charitable?

>>54

This is a game center that has been around for quite a long time.

They have the latest models, prizes, medals, and even a batting center.

Many of today’s arcade games can’t be played offline.

Unless it’s taken over by a group of people with the same interests, like a game center we’ve all visited together.

I can’t just hand it over to someone who says they’ll take it personally.

It seems like adding that suspicious machine with about 2000 retro games would solve the problem.

Was it such a terrifying place…

That’s sad.

If a store goes out of business, the foundation and equipment should be released! It’s a scary world where crazed individuals endlessly slander and insult others.

There are game centers that collect older rhythm games, right?

It’s not just in arcades, but people who have a strange passion in a convoluted way can be really troublesome.

I understand because there are people in my hobby community as well…

I liked thrill drives, but there weren’t any follow-ups.

The games in the series at the arcade are quite crazy, aren’t they?

It’s a masterpiece, isn’t it, Thrill Drive?

You can play while laughing.

It’s just the pastime of the rich.

Hmm… Hyogo Prefecture, huh…

This is a renowned shop that you definitely want to visit if you’re staying at Arima Onsen.

There are hobbies that you can’t go back to once you’ve discarded them because you can’t bear to start over from scratch.

There’s a store where only one unit of the original Gundam Card Builder is operational in the whole country, and I really want to go there.

I want to go, but it’s too far.

When I was younger, I played while scraping together every penny, but now I could dive in without hesitation.

>>77

No way!?

Is there such a thing!?

It’s not that a large number of people engage in defamation and slander.

Since it’s a world that has boiled down, the way it rages is quite intense…

There are too many things in experiential games that I wish would be left for future generations.

They still hold in-store tournaments even now.

I have no choice but to be content with just watching the stream.

…I still have the cards I want carefully preserved.

Accusations of slander against Ake gamers come up regularly.

>>82

It’s like a “〇n〇-〇n〇!”

Please read this article.

If it were a little closer to JR, I would have liked to go to that store.

The experience-based elements are fading away due to the lack of parts, even though they are very exhausting…

There’s not much hope for new arcade titles anymore, so it seems there’s more demand for keeping old cabinets operational.

There are quite a few oddballs in reggae, and because of those oddballs, there are also many monsters.

I couldn’t do well locally.

Despite being in a relatively remote area, this arcade is still in operation?

I wish there was a factory with the technology to make a new casing from scratch…

How niche of an order is that?

Self-proclaimed enthusiasts (resellers going overseas) have increased too much.

The defamation among players is also quite something.

Not handling the lever properly or something.

If you don’t truly have the resolve to go, it’s impossible; that’s what you call a place like Sargasso.

>>94

A mountain in Gunma, huh…

I didn’t know there was such a funky game center in Mita… It’s a bit of a walk from the station, but maybe I’ll check it out after work.

The previous Hokuto no Ken tournament I participated in was said to have a foundation that’s been battling for nearly a quarter of a century.

I was just thinking I wanted to go to Woody Town Center.

It takes about a 3-minute walk from Sanda Honmachi if you’re using the Shintetsu.

Tsujishoten is gone!?

>>99

Closed at the end of February this year.

I was wondering if there was something unusual… and then I realized that the one that was there when I was a child is still around…?

It looks like even the biggest sacred site in Hokuto is closing down; I wonder what will happen now.

The anonymous people from Mita suddenly gathered.

It’s not turned over!

Since I moved to Tokyo, Akihabara is full of retro games and it’s so much fun!

It was awesome to be able to introduce my friend to Thrill Drive 3.

There are adults who are like a troublesome version of children… It’s a scary scene.

It felt like a classmate from my alma mater was being treated like someone who commutes nearly two hours one way from the ends of the earth.

Thanks to Tanita’s twin stick, that lever component has been newly mass-produced and is now available as a repair part for the arcade version.

I never thought a story like this would come up…

All we can do is spend money at the hard-working arcade.

WGC was about to close due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

I’ve sometimes been disheartened watching Mikado and the crayfish causing a ruckus, saying both true and false things.

I have an acquaintance who collects rare circuit boards and cases, but they said that even though they don’t make it public, they receive a lot of DMs and criticism emails.

>>118

Don’t hog it all to yourself!

I’m coming too because I’m raising the foundation with X.

>>118

It’s too scary…
