Another one bites the dust… Wish I had been in Tokyo at the time to grab photos, hope someone else was able to.

@maine_stuart @bitmap_books Oh that’s interesting! Didn’t know of other FPS arcade games – I wonder why its not a big arcade genre. Doom Arcade would rock! Here’s an old picture of L4D and a little info :)

@DamienMcFerran @dodgykebaab @timeextension64 I found a handful of Hi-Tech Lands in 2018. Tateishi, Ikegami, Shibuya and Kasai were probably all named Hi-Tech on Sega’s site, because that was my reference at the time. Some pics:

Turned my Blast City into a dedicated Monkey Ball cabinet with all the trimmings. Always gets a lot of play when peeps roll by.

Photography for the piece is provided by the brilliant @liamwong, who captured some of Sega's iconic game centers before they were sold. His award-winning, nighttime shots of the city are also available in two books: https://t.co/0yPtrRe8nP

In January Sega sold its last arcade, an industry the company first entered in the 1940s. In this month's @edgeonline I visited Tokyo to talk to those hoping to save these businesses, some of the last remaining places where digital play is represented in public spaces:
