Japandemic #15: Akihabara, Sega, Super Potato and electronic bits

When Luke (someone who can create a fully-functioning Terminator T-800 using nothing but his own house keys and a piece of toast) invited me to Akihabara to look around some of his favourite electronic haunts, I said "Nah... I'm hungover". But then I changed my mind because my life is empty.

Just kidding. Anyway, we ended up going to some hobbit sized back-streets where they had every conveivable electronic part you could think of, then Sega Building, and Super Potato for some arcade/vintage gaming therapy.

I didn't say much on this video because I wasn't always entirely sure what I was looking at, but I was happy to experience another part of Tokyo I hadn't seen yet. Colourful, loud, unique and intriguing. Tokyo at its best XD

Keep the suggestions coming. They've all been really helpful so far and I appreciate every one of them.

Yeah it was like taking a journey back into my childhood. I think the game was Battle Garegga.

Crazy how there's still arcades around, they're basically dead here in Texas.

[Mantrousers]

Dead in England too, pretty much. It brought back memories.

[ZombiezFromDaHood]

@Maximusmadrica Yeah Texas sucks when it comes to arcades and such.
