Akihabara's "Hidden" Game Shop [Serial Freaks]

Ойындар

There's a tiny little retro game shop in Akihabara that's very easy to miss, so I thought I'd walk on over, show you the way, and have a look inside.

    Interesting store for sure . I saw U.S version of FF Mystic Quest cib at the Surugaya in Akiba and Killer Instinct at the one in Shinjuku (Marui Complex) and that's about it so yeah it's odd to see so many NES and SNES carts at a Japanese store.

    Nice PC Engine LT in there but the most intriguing thing was that PC Engine on the rotating plinth. You can see that the bottom half has been replaced and if you pause the video at just the right time you can just about see what looks like a screen on the back. Is that an original PCE made into a portable? Jim, can you remember what it was?

    There used to be an import shop down that way about 10 years ago that had lots of current and some previous gen games for NA systems. Almost makes me wonder if they bought some of their stock when they went out.
