In Akihabara, the Electronics District of Tokyo.
eight one introduced me to this place. I would never have been able to take these shots had he never shown it to me.
It's a four story arcade stuck inside the narrowest building ever. The entire fourth floor is devoted to SNK games only. There are about fourteen four-slot cabs set up, ten of them head to head. Every KOF, Samurai Spirits, and Fatal Fury / Real Bout, plus Rage of the Dragons, Matrimelee, World Heroes Perfect, Breaker's Revenge, and a two-slot Hyper 64 cab with Wild Ambition and Asura Zanmaden.
The view of the fourth floor from the outside:
The stairway leading to the fourth floor:
Despite all the various SNK games, the basic theme of the fourth floor is Garou Densetsu Supesharu (Fatal Fury Special). There's a monitor hooked up to the Fatal Fury Special cab that shows whatever match is being played at the time at the front of the room.
I don't have a shot of that, but here's a pic of the men's washroom on the fourth floor with a handmade Fatal Fury Special poster:
Another Fatal Fury Special poster:
Me and RBJakeSpecial on the third floor stairwell. The sign says Garou Densetsu Supesharu 4F Ni Taisendai Ari - Ran Nyu (Free-For-All Fatal Fury Special Head-to-Head Cabs on the Fourth Floor):
Finally, the fourth floor stairwell:
Irasshai! (Welcome!)
