I'm going in 2 weeks :) cannot wait, will be my first visit to Japan

Here's a map with some of the places to visit around Akihabara station. Super Potato you've seen. Retro Game Camp I have a couple of photos from and is worth a visit. It's a shop across 2 floors. Retro Game Space Museum is a great little arcade with some earlier games which again I have a few photos from and will post later. Mandarake I didn't visit but is apparently worth a look.

Thanks for that :) I'm staying in Akihabara so this will really come in handy, Guess I'll be leaving most of my clothes in Japan to fill my cases with Goodies :)

Would love to go. What AES games did you get?

I was reluctant to pay much as I don't own the system, but I picked up these 3. The cheapest was £15 which I thought was pretty reasonable.

No probs! Be sure to check out any branches of Book-off or Hard-off too. They sell 2nd hand electrical stuff and are dotted all over.

Awesome pics, I'd love to go back to Japan, it's been too long! I shopped at Super Potato back in 2011 and filled some gaps in my collection. That little arcade on the top floor is cool as well.

Looking forward to seeing your pics of Space Museum.

Did you manage to check out Mikado arcade in Takadanobaba, and the awesome little retro arcade in Odaiba?

I'll try and get the Space Museum pics uploaded today.

I did have Mikado on my list of places to visit but didn't get around to it. Next time!
