A Glimpse Into Japan's Retro Mega Stores (56K DEATH!)

[Zeonik Freak]

I'll just go sit in the corner and cry now.

Seriously though, you are living the dream; I hope to live in the land of the rising sun eventually!

Its like god crapped a holy heavenly game store in that part of japan.

If i had a game store, i would make it look that that, or try my best to.

Dude... tell me how much the Neo Geo systems are going for?...

The 2nd pic is my friends and I waiting for battles up in the mountain roads.

That Silvia looks... not stock, at all. It's pretty in the light.

Just wait hashiriya1, one of these days Ill stump you. I know of a few GBA games I want complete copies of that I think youll be hard pressed to find.

For the record folks, he found a copy of Battle Tetris Gaiden. You may remember:

And yes, we are still hopelessly addicted to the game in my neck of the woods. The only other copy I have ever seen for sale was on ebay and it was over before I could bid - for slightly more than what I am getting it for from him...

Hope you didn't buy anything at Super Potato!

Why is that?

I'm just giving you crap. They're just really overpriced compared to most other places.

Only 98.6% of the time.

Technically it's a "wanbia"

He's my buddy, Hiroshi, he's pullin about 400HP (to the wheels, not the crank).
COmpletely rebuilt head made to be bulletproof. Forged pistons, custom crankshaft,
and he's boosting about 18 pounds safely. That thing is LOUD as hell and he's not even straight-piping.

And there I am...modest in my light modifications. The MINE'S ECU set me back a pretty penny, but was
worth it. The gains I got from that thing were amazing. I just installed a NISMO exhaust manifold which took
me forever to find. Tossed the old HKS one. Booo, HKS, booo.

I always snicker whenever I see the "Toppo BJ". That name is funnier than the Daihatsu Naked. Anyhoo, when shaken comes up, ditch that car with a quickness. Mitsubishi isn't in the shitter for nothing! Plastic clutch plates on their EVOs, I don't know how they get away with that.

Is that true? Is that even legal?

My wife HATES Mistubishi with a passion. They're almost as bad as Korean cars, she tells me. She also thinks Skylines are ugly, because they look like "blue box and wheels."

Oh crap. GBA isn't my forte, so maybe you'll get me there. MAYBE!

I drive a Skyline GT-R


I don't think Mitsubishi cares if it's legal. They've been busted for so many cover-ups, it's sickening.

Don't worry, I think Skylines look sweet.

One of my friends went throw THREE of them. Not because he wanted to avoid shaken. Nope. He wrecked them ALL. Where? In freakin' Saitama. Not cool. Worst. Driver. Ever. (no idea which model of Skyline...) Now he's a family man and drives a Forester. No more Skylines for him.

Mitsubishi definitely sounds like a Japanese company with the way they've acted. Look good on the outside. Be a lying sack of しt on the inside.

Tatemae. We are ALL guilty of it!

Saitama has some good roads, but nothing beats Gunma. I went to Gunma last month for the first time just to finally take a shot at Mount Haruna.

Heh heh, I sell cars to avoid shaken, except for the skyline. I just paid 200,000 yen 2 months ago for shaken and taxes. I've been thru 4 kei cars in the past year to avoid shaken. I'm getting rid of my current one soon cuz shaken is due in OCtober.
