I wasn't sure if it was the right choice, though. I mean, I am spending a lot of money to be here, I really should get my money's worth...
Then I used my newfound free time to visit Akihabara this afternoon. It was the right choice.
I only had time to visit 2 stores (since I spent about an hour in each...), one of which was "Super Potato" a huge 4 story store devoted solely to retro games. (Paul, you are going to fucking worship me when you see what I got you there...) The top floor was even a little arcade with old games. I played R-Type and died on the second level :(
Outside and inside the store they're constantly playing themes and songs from 8-bit games. It drew me in like a moth to a flame...
When I get rich, I am TOTALLY getting a cocktail-style Ice Climbers arcade machine.
I think it is great that you are exploring after all your are not going to be there much longer. I trust your judgement!

Hmm, something I'd like from a store dedicated to retro games... that could by any number of things. I can't wait to see what it is.
ReplyDeleteWow, "mom" great encouragement there. But more impressive is the complete lag of nagging.
ReplyDeleteBy the way Jay, you've got me fondly remembering arcade games. I miss them.
