We're continuing our small tour of Hong Kong and Tokyo. I'm still in Hong Kong, specifically in Tsuen Wan, in the Golden Cedar arcade in the
Tsuen Wan City Landmark.
At least that is what my wife tells me! I honestly don't remember, as this is seven or eight months ago. As I mentioned in part 1, please excuse me if my memory doesn't serve me right. I am fairly certain that this is accurate, and please send me a comment if it's not.
We start off with the Google street view:

The game arcade in City Landmark is large, bright clean and nice, and I ended up spending many hours with the games. As I mentioned in part 1, gaming in Hong Kong is generally very cheap, only 1 HKD per credit.

A rare view! Multi with 2000 games in a Sega Blast City cab |
|
The feel of this game arcade is unusually light and clean |
|
Taiko Drum Master. It doesn't get as much play as it did five years ago |
|
Konami Gashaaaan. I wish I had given this a go. Throw balls at the screen! | |
|
Wangan Midnight Maximumtune 3DX Plus |
|
Initial D |
|
SEGA BlackJack Nailed Ace |
|
I just love these toppers! |
|
Another large and flashy coin pusher |
|
Tekken 6. I don't like the cabinet much, but the game is great |
|
The usual rows of SEGA Blast City candy cabs |
|
This was actually eight(!) times more expensive to play than the other games. 8 HKD |
|
They also had a nice mix of music games. Here's Guitar Freaks XG2 |
|
..and more |

..and more! |

Mario Kart 2. Great fun, and at 1 HKD per credit it's fantastic value for money |
That's it for now from Hong Kong. In the next post I fly to Tokyo, Japan!
