The early 90s was a magical time for arcade gaming, especially in Japan, so what better way to take a trip back in time than watching this excerpt from a 1992 documentary all about the Game Fantasy arcade in Nerima, Tokyo.
Clipped from a longer video about arcade gaming, the excerpt doesn’t have properly translated English-language subtitles (though you can rely on auto-translate if you’re brave), but that’s OK. While following along would be nice, what we’re here for are the sights and sounds.
