[RARE] '90s Footage of a Tokyo Video Game Arcade 

I miss the arcades such an awesome time for kid's when ever you got bored just call your friends and head to the arcade for hours of fun.

The 70s & 80s born kids lived a great childhood life...we came,saw,felt & grew with the changing world...❤️❤️❤️❤️

I lived in this place "Shakuji Koen Nerima Ward" more than 20 years ago, i remember this game center very well. The boss was quiet and polite men, i played alot there some days. There was few 50Yen arcade cabinet too. Shakuji Koen shopping street was full of nice shop, expecially one cheap Karaoke with all you can drink for 1500yen... There is also one big lake with rental boat 10 minutes walking from the train station. It was so nice decade if compair with now. Miss that days so much, i was thinking about this time yesterday when i accidentally found this video. Thank you so much. Shakuji Park it's the second biggest Park in Tokyo after Ueno, even Shakuji koen are only 13min by train from Ikebukuro the atmosphere was amazing. There was one very old granny who owned beer and food shop in Shakuji Park, when i asked her how long have you been working here her answer was since Taisho Jidai(1912-1926)... Ranma 1/2 story place are in Shakuji Koen, there is lot of field and farmers put they veggies on basket you can buy by putting 50yen or 100yen on the plate and nobody steal. There is lot of old houses, Shrine and temple too.

'92, '93, '94, '95 were the golden ages of fighting games.

My mom was there 90's and this was her experience. so cool 😎

うだるような暑い夏の日にゲーセンに続く階段を上るとドアから漏れ聞こえてくる「はど～！はど～！たいが～！たいが～！」。吸い込まれるように入店して1000円札を50円に両替して、ギンギンにエアコンの効いたタバコ臭い店内でジュース片手に朝から晩までギャラリーびっしりの中対戦してた。あの頃に戻りたいよう。

Street Fighter 2 was really popular back then.

I love the arcades. They have amazing classic games and every time I go there are still many fun and chill gamers there. I love these retro vintage videos It's fun. Cool video. ^_^

Incredible footage

Those kids are in their 40s now

I miss the arcade... I from Malaysia.

SF2 craze in the 90's

懐かしい I was one of them

3:58 truly unhinged quarter circling there

It's exactly like what I seen in Hi Score Girl (also set in 90s Japan) and it's a similar setting in western arcades but the cabinets have their own distinct looks.

I very much prefer these Arcade machines to the ones we have here in the US. Nice wide screens at a more ergonomic angle and also had seats! I've never seen seats in front of a machine like that. Here in the states there are no seats to guarantee high turnover in sales.

もちろん利益優先でこういうイベントやってたんだろうけど、なんというか人情がある、子供のこと考えてる社会だと思う

この頃はスーファミ全盛期、あと数年でPS1やサターンの発売。 3Dゲームの台頭でゲーム基盤の高額化。 遅かれ早かれ、個人経営のゲーセンは淘汰される運命だったと思います。

Excelente video y saludos desde Lima Perú

I need to go to Japan but in the place that we're situated in on covid 19 is giving us problems...I..I go no words man

according to the translation "free customers cannot be incinerated", which makes sense

Great time to be a kid back then. Nowadays children are living in constant fear, isolation, masking and cellphones..

Very interesting 😄❤️

Arcade is something far better than games in android. The social. The limited time play. The fun. It is addicting but not as toxic as android in kids hands.

Beautiful. 🤩🇯🇵🗾

わぁ懐かしい！30年以上前の地元だ。今では駅前もかなり変わってしまった。あの頃は毎日ストⅡやってたな。

Nowadays, I'm emulating all these games with RetroArch and a cheap $40 arcade stick. Still fun, but not the same.

I wish there are subtitle, in the full documentary as well.

Tal vez no entienda el idioma japonés pero solo ver este video me deja sorprendido

BORN 1987 This is what I call home.

Hey @TRNGL! Hope you will make a digitally restored video footage of 90s Japan in the future.

This reminds me of Hi Score Girl on Netflix!

God bless all the people in the video

90年代の幼少期にスト2とkof94、バーチャファイターなどの大会に数回参加したよ😊昔は地元のゲームセンターやゲームショップでも大会開催してた。😢今は全然ですね。個人経営のゲームセンターも無くなっちゃった。でもいい思い出😊

That was awesome. I love sit down Japanese arcade machines.

What an era ! I miss the 80s so much.

Really nice.

60 ые ,70 ые ,80 ые ,90 ые ..каждое десятилетие эпоха .А сейчас все превратилось в 22 век 🤷🏻‍♂️.Без эпох.

Thanks for this journy to past

Those Seimitsu controls, long before Sanwa got popular for fighters.

3:55 I'll be sure to use this next time I'm at cidercade

"Misspent". Those are the things you live for.

I think I just saw young Kiryu

Timeless

60名のエントリーをたった1時間で締め切るとはスト2の威力半端ないな この頃のスト2筐体は貯金箱だったから…

Good afternoon! Please tell me if it is possible to use fragments from this video for public purposes?

1990 crane game < arcade 2010 arcade < crane game 2020 crane game < card shop

That's so cool!

el paraiso, y todavia sigue existiendo, no como en otro lugares de españa

Looks almost the same to the arcades in Hong Kong.

Miss something I didn't live

You can't jab and throw. That's cheating

지금 저곳은 있을카나 카나

저당시 한국에서도 엄청난 붐이었습니다ㅎ 추억돋네요

The auto translate said that he traveled over 3 and half hours with soy sauce @3:10

4:08 Oof I felt that

Now: rhythm games goes brrrrrr

街の小さなゲーセンも激減したね まあ、うちもパチに走った口だけど
