After spending the
day at Sega Joypolis, we walked in the direction of the Daikanransha ferris
wheel and passed these buildings, which I think have a bit of a Blade Runner
vibe.
Adjacent to the
ferris wheel is Tokyo Leisureland. The
arcade had a great selection of dedicated machines, old and new, and some of
these machines I have never seen anywhere else.
The awesome Tetris
Giant, known as Tetris Dekaris in Japan .
GTI Club: Rally
Côte d'Azur and Supermini Festa! I love how the
new version has a restaurant theme, complete with menu board and awning.
The only Tokyo Bus
Guide arcade cabinet I’ve ever seen.
My wife cracking
the whip on Akumajō Dracula: The
Arcade. Note the look of sheer menace on
her face!
The Blast on the
left features Akai Katana, one of my favourite shooters. The middle Blast features RC de Go!, complete
with dedicated panel. If you know what
the game is on the right please let me know in the comments.
Developed by AM1
and released in 1999 on Sega Naomi hardware, Ring Out 4x4 is a vehicular combat
game. The cabinet design clearly borrows
a lot from the arcade classic Hot Rod.
It’s a shame the game never received a Dreamcast home conversion.
There is nothing
quite like sneaking up on someone whilst on the back of a panda!
