i walked by it back in june... but it was before 10am so it was closed. most sega game centers like that are all the same though

1st floor - ufo catchers (the crane game)
2nd floor - arcade games (old and new)
3rd floor - more arcade games and purikura (print club)
4th floor - "medal", slot machines, win-as-many-tokens-as-you-can games
5th floor+ - competitive network games, horse racing games

more or less the usual format. i took a neat pic of the wall of the sega game center near chatan in okinawa (any further back and i would've been hit by a car!)

i love how it is so matter of fact for you.....

its a good few miles for an arcade near me (like all the way to the beach), and even this its pretty poor. Even the "Sega world" that was near me (tracadero london) has gone back to a "normal" arcade, and is not as cool as it once was, lost most its premium games (was £10 to get in an free play on all machines which tbh did spoil it a bit). And namco world has shut down due to Triad blackmail (aparently).

lol, didn't you know? mafia has always had a stranglehold on arcade and vending machines. I just didn't know it spanned across the globe.
