while we’re having fun with film photography, time for a more quirky images, lol
and yupe... that’s it, that’s the one... legendary Mikado of Takadanobaba... do I have to tell any background story for this legendary place? well okay..
if you arent familiar with Japanese arcade, this place is considered to be the holly land of all retro and arcade gamers...many world champions hailed from this place, or at least, for any international pro player, they just need to come to this place and challenge literally anybody... been the main focus of so many documentary films, and heck, even at some points they got many adult videos shooting in this legendary place, dont ask me why, lolol
not your regular arcade really, mostly filled with super retro cabinets in prime condition, including pinballs and the likes... but mostly famous for its competitive arcade gaming community, mostly for 2D (and a little 3D) fighting games...spending almost every weekend here, hahahah, since I just love the atmosphere.. a real definition of your neighborhood arcade center, going global, lol
they still surviving, yet from news I got from the old country, they seems to have financial issues starting from 2020, and even starting a kickstarter or fund raising asking for donation... hopefully they are still doing great these days... I will simply loose my mind if this legendary place is closing down...
