@moroboshi To me, every other shop seemed to be a hentai themed dive, but there are still a ton of electronics shops and computer stores around. I wish I'd had the opportunity to visit in its heyday, it sounds even better than what was already an eye-opener for a couple of kiwis! We'll be visiting Japan again in a couple of year's time, no doubt.

Super Potato was a fantastic place. It's just mind-boggling, the amount of games they have stacked on their shelves. Sure, I've heard there are bigger/better stores, but since the main focus of our visit to Japan was sight-seeing, I didn't get too much time to hunt them down. As it happens, I manged to grab all three Shining Force III episodes for about $50 (New Zealand monies), Mother I + II, Mother 3 and had a game of KoF '98 to boot. Cool place, I highly recommend it if you happen to visit Tokyo. On a side note, if you intend to travel around Japan looking for games, get a rail pass before you arrive in the country - they're a fantastic deal if you're using them enough.
