I mailed Funland and waiting answer I'm really badly wondering what remains up there (passed the vending machine) if you happen to get there again could you take a look?

[hairyman121]

@misterbearbe I'm afraid the area is off-limits. If I wanted to be banned from the place forever I could take a look but I doubt I'll be doing that anytime soon!

[Stutodude]

@hairyman121 I know what is up there and what it looks like, message me if you're curious.

[misterbearbe]

You should sneak passed the vending machine and check whats up there or does it just lead to the everything that followed in the video?

@misterbearbe Nah, up there are amazing 90s decals (that I want) and a lot of empty space they're making into a pod hotel for 2012 Olympic tourist and culture terrorist alike. It went up into 2 floors of mid 90s madness. I visited once 1998-9 and it was pretty wicked, you'd have to of been there. I remember walking up the the Troc and seeing Sonic's statue and going in to this escalator zone (chemical plant kinda). Never did get anything at the shop, didn't have my name, but got tokens somewhere

Remember it was very busy and loud (so I'm told) and very exciting 'cos being a 90s kid was like being on the cusp of a de-revolution (millennium was exciting whist it lasted but look where we are now). I only got one tangible piece of evidence from being there. A water toy from a gatcha-type machine. Place looked so big back when I was 7, but now it feels so small and so quiet 'cos were in that anti-climax.

Sega did a VIRTUA NBA?

I've heard of Virtua Tennis, Racing, Fighter, Strikers (soccer),

Never heard of it

[hairyman121]

@HyperSonicXtreme It would appear it only received an arcade release.
