Anyone know where in Japan one can find arcades with Afterburner Climax or Virtual On?

Question

Im in japan for a while and want to see if I can put my name on the highscore list of my two favorite arcade games. I've been to some of the larger arcades like Club Sega and the big Taito arcade in Akiba but no luck.

Answer 1

Well, Akihabara is probably your best bet, but I would also go searching around some of the more heavily populated areas in Tokyo, there always seems to be an arcade in some of the larger shopping malls.

Why not ask a native? How good is your Japanese? Try this:

すみません！ちかいアーケードをどこですか？

Sumimasen! chikai a-ke-do wo dokodesuka?

Excuse me! Where is a nearby arcade?

Answer 2

Here is a one arcade which has After Burner Climax in Akihabara.

The name is "Hey"

The web page above is Japanese.  If you need direction, please search on google map by cut and paste the address below.

東京都 千代田区外神田1-10-5

And there is more than 30 arcades in Tokyo which has After Burner Climax.

If you want to know closest place from your place, print out it and ask it to Japanese speaker.

In addition, if you have buddy to go out.

It might interesting to go.  It may not Otaku suitable place and may better to go with friends.

And the arcades are called "game center (ge-mu sentar)" in Japanese.

If you say "arcade" Japanese people understand that the shopping street with roof.

I like flight simulator like after burner too.  Enjoy!!!
