Life in Tokyo Eat Tokyo Entertainment Tokyo Culture Shopping Fashion Events Networking Lodging Information Travel Nature Although auction sites like eBay and Yahoo Japan are becoming increasingly fertile hunting grounds for treasures from the video game past, there is nothing that beats walking into a retro video game shop.

Going over a search result page online does not quite generate the same excitement as being faced with wall to wall goodies. Pictures below taken from various shops in Akihabara, including Trader, famous Super Potato and Akiba Mandarake, as well as Mandarake Galaxy in Nakano Broadway. I also sneaked in some pictures of Super Potato in Osaka. Interested in what I took home? For those of you interested in the history of Nintendo, please take a look at my blog , dedicated to the pre-famicom days. If you know about other great retro shops, please post about them in the comments!

October 27th, 2010 by Paul Strauss Worn by a serious StarCraft Ghost fan at this year’s BlizzCon, this incredible costume would look great, even if there weren’t a smokin’ hot girl wearing it – but that certainly doesn’t hurt. The costume features illuminated armor made from football pads, along with an accompanying bad-ass prop gun, crafted from what looks like a highly-modified NERF weapon.

The Gamer's Alphabet: A Children's Book | The Gamer’s Alphabet is an art project undertaken by Penny Arcade forum member El Jeffe. The dedication implies he made it for some kind of young relative, who is not yet old enough to get any of these references.

The cover is below, and I’ve posted each of the alphabet pages below. I have to wonder, will kids understand any classic franchises at all that don’t stick around forever like Mario Bros? Will they even understand how to play something as rudimentary as an 8-bit game? I guess I’ll find out when I force my not-yet-conceived three year old to play NES in a few years.
