"I thought you might like this picture of a SEGA change machine I saw a few years ago in a Tokyo arcade filled with old men. Most games cost 100 Yen to play, which was about 70p at the time. I thought that all games would be 5p a credit and the place crowded with girls in school uniforms - two dreams shattered in one go. Just out of the shot was a pile of Sonic tissues, which I nicked and gave to a mate of mine when I got back. I've avoided the mutual awkwardness of asking for them back to take a picture, so you'll just have to take my word for it. Cheerio, Flp."
A site about games and game paraphernalia and how nothing's as good as we remember it, probably because we used to inhabit a FANTASY WORLD.

It came with the template. Maybe in 2014 we'll jump on board the Twitter train and put that in here. Or a radio. That'd be nice.
And that report of a Dutch arcade with 4 SEGA cabinets I sent to you two days ago, ahem.
Cow.
Its shit like this that gets me through the day.
Word Verification:
zumludem: Can't think of anything but sounds cool.
On the flip side, they're probably spending it in non-SEGA machines. :(
Or review some Saturn games. Again. Put up old Saturn reviews!
I also took plenty of photos and will send them to Zorg today or tomorrow.
Maybe this isn't that special, however for a German like me, not used to ANY arcades, it is.
