Oh man, I've always wanted to visit that arcade after seeing photos.

Did you play that STATUS 18 with SF2? Grail cab of mine there, along with those little Sega Citys!

I did play most of the pins tho and some other EM games including a life size pop up pirate game!

There's a retro arcade in Odaiba?? Just looked it up there, I've bypassed that building every time I've been in that area...damn.

Lovely pics urban. What's the story with the chap playing the Harley Davidson though - is he floating in mid-air like some sort of pinball wizard?

Does look like that alright. They look quite narrow too or is that a standard width for a pin? Been two decades since I've played once so not a clue on that front.

The play field are usually that thin, the back boxes are usually wider, about the width of a jamma cab

This place is great. The first time I was in Tokyo I had been told this place existed but very little else, I didn't know what building it was in and spent a good while trekking around Odaiba looking for it. Ended up in the new arcade on the other side of the island and visiting the Toyota robot.

I'd just about given up by the time I found the place but it was worth it, so many great games. As much as I love the old video games the old mechanical arcade games have a very unique charm - very cool.

Odaiba on a quiet day is a very surreal experience. I felt like I was walking around an abandoned Starfleet Academy.
