Japanese Retirees Flocking to Arcades

[Gindil]

I'd expect that. It's either this or the pachinko parlous and good GODS do those have horrible chain smokers...

Is it wrong that I squealed seeing an original Galaga/TRON/Q*bert/Joust/Burger Time/Centipede/Space Invaders?

Is it worse I can actually recognise them from their decals?

(Can't get what the one between TRON and Joust is though...)

Well, there's a chair there. So it has to be a long one.

I think it might be Scramble with the Moon Cresta hardware. Difficult to tell as there were so many machines put into that hardware box, and they often didn't change the decal.

Am I the only one that immediately got a mental image of Ishikawa's gaming/gambling center with all of the old people from Ghost in the Shell?

Yeah actually. I now see old people getting flashbamged by a SWAT team now. Still. This is pretty neat.

Sweet...To bad that there are no arcade halls in Sweden...Atleast not in my town.

I guees when i am old i will just grab the most popular mmo and play it that.

Japanese oldsters apparently have a preference for medallion games (I have no idea what those are), pachinko, crane games and horse racing games.

Do look up the word "research" some time before you die.
It may change your entire life, not to mention the quality of your awful work.

Right there with ya. Lets just hope when its our time, its as awesome as GIT.

Talk about an untapped source of money.

You gotta adapt with the market, you know.
