UK:RESISTANCE 'main page'
Literally 30. That's way too many photographs of empty rooms full of neon tat for most web sites. Fortunately, we do not have the same standards as most web sites.

UKR was formed before internet quality standards were introduced on January 1st 1998, so they don't apply here. So let's go.




"Hi. Love your site. Went on a SEGA specific Japan honeymoon with my wife and sought out the great SEGA spots that we only get mere glimpses of on websites."




"It was in November so there was a weird cross between Halloween and Xmas promotion going on."




"One of our stops was the SEGA Joypolis in Yokohama... famous for having the SEGASONIC bowling alley and karaoke bar. Well, SEGA sold off that section, but as the pics can attest, remnants of SEGA remain."




"Last was SEGA SONICTOWN. The most SONIC of all remaining arcades in the world. Not much attention on the net, so I thought these pics could show the world what it's like. SEGA!" - Radguy.




Thanks for the photos "Radguy".




One problem, though - you have supplied NOTHING LIKE ENOUGH text to accompany 30 photographs.




It's going to be very, very hard for us to write something about the remaining 23.




There's not even any people in half the photos, or any recognisable machinery.




What the hell is this? Some sort of immersive live-action Space Channel 5 simulator?




Sonic.




A bowling lane. Nice font.




Neon.




How do you get to go on a SEGA honeymoon anyway?




Surely girls don't really like SEGA as much as men? She's just going along with it all through fear of getting old without having a baby, surely?




See what's happened now? The submitter didn't send in enough words to go with the pictures, so now we've reverted to type and are abusing his no-doubt-lovely lady wife. We are SCUM :(




Sorry, Radguy and Mrs Radguy, but it's your own fault. You can't go expecting us to be polite.




Photos of stuff that's not for us.




Photos of stuff that's not for us.




It's sad to see that all Japanese arcades are equally as empty as UK arcades. At least they're brighter and cleaner.




Empty.




Embarrassingly empty.




So empty that we're starting to suspect that "Radguy" is actually a millionaire celebrity, who paid the arcades tens of thousands of pounds to kick all the paying punters out for a few hours so he could have a good look around on his own without being bothered by dirty normal people with their burgers and their Pepsis.




Even the surrounding pavement is empty. People don't even hang around outside or in the vicinity of arcades any more.




At least everything is clean thanks to being untouched by human hands.




It will help the administrators raise money for the creditors when the arcade owner inevitably goes bust and they have to sell everything on to the next sucker who thinks running an arcade is a good idea.




He will be going bust this autumn if business doesn't significantly pick up during the summer months, by the look of things.




This one and another three photos to go.




Then we will be free of this burden!




Until tomorrow :(




If the last photo was a shot of the bride & groom smiling in front of this thing and looking like they'd just "done it" in the privacy of one of those photo printing machines, it could've been a good Last Update Ever. But we can't go out like this. Most of the captions were padding.

INTERNET QUALITY CONTROL GUIDELINES

Sites registered prior to 1997: Anything goes. The internet needs as much content as possible to ensure it "catches on".

Sites registered from Jan 1st 1998: Please try to only post the, say, 10 best photos out of a batch of, say, 30 photos. This is to ensure the internet stops being flooded by crap and "catches on".

I can't believe we didn't get a single photo of "Radguy"'s "SEGA Wife" that he went on his "SEGA Honeymoon" with.

I wonder why...

He didn't go to Dobuita street, in Yokosuka, or he did, but didn't send photos of it! His Sega wife is clearly not as good as my Sega wife, who didn't divorce me after wasting a day of our precious holiday time traipsing to the "shenmue" town. Worth every yen!

Its because his wife is really egg monroe (and because) she (fears getting) older, she's now married and is henceforth, no longer be doomed to childless existence.

I'm scared. I'm developing an intense hatred of the solid gold Sonic in picture three, hatred from a deep level. It's building inside me, I'm litterally swelling with hatred! Bursting must soon follow! Why? PLEASE GOD WHY?

Maybe it's because if you're going to bother making a solid gold Sonic you should make sure that it's a cool sonic, not a deformed head freak Sonic with a posture straight from Are You Being Served and a floodlight pointed right up his arse :(

It could be that but I'm reaching here...

I saw perhaps 2 Sega arcade games in all that. The rest were fruit machines and glorified grabber games.

So I have to ask, what was the most disappointing thing about this Sega Honeymoon: the sex or the lack of good Sega arcade games?

It's so sad to see an empty arcade. I still remember the mid/late 80s when arcades were full of people. I always had a lot of people in my back watching me play.

We used to have a demo Xbox 360 at the indie games shop I work in, but the roof leaked and it got ruined. But I digress, anyway back when it still worked, quite often I'd tell waves of kids to piss off who kept bothering me to play on it - as you can imagine. One time this one child and his three friends each of around 9 or 10 said "why can't we play on it?" I replied with "because this isn't an arcade."

He replied with "what's an arcade?" :(

I know what you mean Ceekay, even in the early 90's it was busy. I remember a crowd of about 20 cheering when me and a mate finally beat that four-armed boss guy on MK2 in my local arcade. Different world.

Sega looks pretty bleak these days. If I saw Sponic in the street I'd try and cheer him up. It might go like this:

Sonic: Hello anonymous UKR poster, how are you?

Me: Let's skip the formalities, Sonic. Things are lookin shit.

Sonic: ...sigh... I know. I'm trying to put a brave face on it for Tails. Tails takes all this stuff pretty badly. He's been gaining weight.

Me: I know. I saw him at Iceland buying fifteen frozen chicken tikka lasagnes for 25p, then ordering a taxi to take him back home.

Sonic: Yeah he does that every day. He's also created a perfect character model of himself for online WOW games.

Me: Jesus.

Sonic: Yeah, I know. It all hapened when I did that Medieval style game. He stopped calling altogether that day.

Me: OMG, hey Sonic, get Tails on the line, I have a well good idea!

Sonic: Is it a new game?

Me: Nah, fuck that?

Sonic: Well, what is it then?

Me: ...hut?

Leave of will you anonymous. Can't you see I'm trying to implement a meme here? I've already done egg monroe, and that seems to be going well. I think 'hut' has the power to go even further.

ROFL I LUV ANNOYING U PEEPLE.

The only good arcade in the whole world is the one on (the) Tottenham Court Road. It's got most of the fighting games you want to bother with. And a pool table! (for the adults to pass the time while waiting for you making £1 last an hour in Marvel Vs Capcom 2).

It might be empty, but at least there are no niggers.

@Tim Nice But Dim,

I went there the other day! It's next to the scientology place, right? I am ashamed to say that I did play on a 24 themed pinball machine though... whatever, I had a good time. Yeah, downstairs they have classic beat-em-up's and some good shooters, and there's always French kids playing Stree Fighter IV! I'm partial to a bit of run and gun a la metal slug, so I generally play on that for a bit or have my anus whooped on SF II because I can't get the hang of the controls when they're not on the SNES pad (at least that's my excuse). I find that the monetary factor adds enough pressure to incetivise a top performance. It's sad, but that's how the human mind works.
So yeah, arcades are still fun as fuck, if you find one with old machines like the TC road one mentioned by Tim. If you wanna go there it's just by Goodge Street station.

I recommend the 24 pinball machine, there's this bit when the sniper comes out and... sorry...it is fun though....

YOU must be a latent nigger lover because you've got nigger on your mind. Seriously, get over your denial and get yourself down to a gay bar to meet a big black gayer. Therein your pent-up sexual frustrations will be resolved by the recieving of nigger cock.

Come on now, no need to be shy. You know deep down you wanna go get a 'pizza-da-action!'

Boy! It's sure got racist around here recently. It seems to coincide with the arrival of "...hut?" which i googled but still don't understand.
Anonymous Jabba The... said...
It's a advert for Pizza Hut, as I recall there's four fat bitches neglecting their housework duties to stuff their faces at "hut".

There ya go, racist and misogynistic now.
Anonymous Anonymous said...
...hut? is a stock response representing the solution to every problem. A ridiculous corporate non-sequitur presented by the morons behind Pizza Hut's new campaign as some kind of panacea to all of life's woes.

...hut? Is obviously used with some irony, the joke being that the stodgy cheese on toast passing for pizza at 'the hut' could in no way ameliorate any quandary, except perhaps anorexia or health, if you think health is a problem.

If you don't like the joke I have just one thing to say to you...

...hut?

Did Anonymous number two (11:55) accidentally admit to buying his Sega wife?

Also all this talk of Shiny Media has made me wonder where Zorg is working now. I've already unsubscribed from their YouTube channel and would like to know what I'm supposed to be a fan of now.

haha. I'm Anonymous number two (11:55). Great spot! Actually, no she wasn't purchased, and nor is she worth the pennies I've spent on her! The flight, train and bus fares to Dobuita street on the other hand... It's magical! I felt just like Ryu Hazuki haplessly walking around looking for sailors! A gay dream come true!

Two things I'm gonna try and do next time I'm in Japan (and I'll photograph both I promise, and hopefully video the first if I can get someone brave enough to hold the camera - you're not allowed to film/photograph inside the Club Segas, see, although that didn't stop me last time):

1) Use the SEGA Foot Massager (I actually saw this in the flesh but was too afraid to try it)

2) Do the Shenmue pilgrimage

Hopefully around October time if all goes according to plan. I trust UKR won't have shut up shop by then...
