Retro Game Hunting in Akihabara! | Twin Famicom Deal + Rare PC Engine Titles

Описание: Akihabara is a mecca for gamers, but let’s be honest—it has a bit of a tourist trap reputation these days. So, is it still worth visiting for serious retro game hunters?

In Part 1 of this two-part Akihabara series, I explore some of the district’s biggest names in gaming:
🎮 Lashinbang
🎮 Surugaya
🎮 BEEP
🎮 Retro Game Camp
🎮 Sofmap
🎮 Super Potato

The purpose of this trip?
🧭 Window shopping
🕹️ Hunting deals on PC Engine games
💎 Spotting rare and even adult-rated video game titles!

My best pickup of the day was a copy of Psycho Chaser for the PC Engine, found at a reasonable price. I also stumbled upon a Twin Famicom listed for only ¥5,000—sold as junk, but these classic machines are relatively easy to repair, making it a smart pickup for collectors and tinkerers alike.

🛠️ The close proximity of Akihabara’s many stores is a major advantage—you can hit multiple shops in just a few hours, especially if you arrive early. While pricing can be high at times, rare games and hardware do pop up, making it well worth the visit for retro enthusiasts.

📍 Stay tuned for Part 2 where I dive into even more Akihabara & Ueno shops!
