Kochani, Wy tu mądrzy jesteście, poleci ktoś #retroarcade konsolkę? Czy to wymysł tiktoka? Granie tylko na niej, bez podłączania do telewizora. Powiedzmy że do 300 zł

thread of my #arcadeexploration posts, starting with my latest:
exploring the arcade in the 1978 movie 鬼畜 / Kichiku (The Demon)

each blog entry features an arcade in a movie (mostly from #japan) and tries to identify all of the machines.
This is an exceptionally difficult task because:

1. I'm focused on #showa movies from the 1930s-1970s
2. Japanese arcade machines were not well documented until I got fed up and started my eremeka site
