Tokyo doesn't have suburbs. It's all urbs. This one is Makuhari, where the Tokyo Game Show plays in the Makuhari Messe. . 90s game mags returned by ship from this fabled land and told of golden treasure. . Late one summer, during a long dusk, gold-seekers breeze out of the Game Show, homeward on aching legs. But one of them won't go home. . His phone's on five percent; his feet are on four. He's searching for Sega. . -- . In a big part of the big city, this would be a glitzy mall with all the most modern money-suckers, humming together in the honey-harmonies of commerce. . Out here in the urbs, it's a little follow-along shopping centre with a third-tier fast-food burger bar, a sun-dried pharmacy, a no-brand supermarket with racks of fogey-size shirts, and a righteous, beautiful Sega in red, white and blue. . It's a proud arcade, but smaller than its roof-tall sign. Some schoolkids - here to change bus - are working on their maimai routines in their blue-shirt-grey-trousers. . There's an Astro City with a match-three. I rest my feet and the sun turns gold as I play. . -- . Anyone else dream of Tokyo Game Show? . -- . #arcadetokyo #gamecenter #ゲームセンター #ゲーセン #arcade #アーケードゲーム #tokyo #Japan #videogames #Nintendo #任天堂 #SEGA #セガ #arcadegames #arcadecabinet #gamerlife #IGgamers #筐体 #arcademachine #coinop #insertcoin #tumblr #twitter
