well anyway anyone goin to virtual world in kowloon bay??

@Frank

call me la~`

I might pass by there on my next visit (still have to check the hotel we are staying though)

Beware, police do id checks at Virtual Zone in Kowloon bay... very often! Your best bet to not get id'ed is namco at causeway bay at world trade centre!

And at KT plaza now too! The crackdown continues!!!

Funny enough, KT plaza was absolutely deserted today. The sting operations are in effect. :3

btw, if you want to play sometime, just let me know. I'm down for meeting up, but I need to know beforehand.

keen to meet up sometime, haha not much ppl when i go, to north point!

Currently in the Uk, but when i was in hk, apm, kt, mk, tst goldstar, cwb and virtual zone (kowloon bay)

Btw, i sell renames if anyone wants to purchase.

Dude, have you seen YUU*2 around? I went fairly often in evenings during the past month because my kendo schedule got shuffled due to the Asian Games. Otherwise, usually drop by Fridays to kill time before kendo in Sai Wan Ho.

Play with YUU*3!!!

That's up next on the list! The original KT R34 is gonna make a comeback! :3

its another once a year Loose your Virginity Night ... Have you Lost IT Yet ???

Dude, I've been married for five years now. :B

But I did hear an interesting HK ideology from my students today about masses of people taking drugs in Mongkok and Causeway Bay today.

Because it's a day to be... happy?
And then tomorrow we'll supposedly hear about the drunks, overdoses, unwanted-in-retrospect-one-night-stands, deaths, and other fallout? :B

Man, wtf. People always go apeshit here during the holidays...

o guys bty wat will actuly happen, if you get caught like underage in a arcade?

bty namco woirld is like f ing bs.... 4 dollar a game.. thats like almsot as expensive in New Zealand... ef that ==

Intense, public humiliation and looking like a douche. :B

But seriously, I'd imagine they'd call your parents, maybe have arcade operators keep a picture on hand so they know you're not allowed there? I don't know. It's not that hard to avoid scrutiny. Christ, if you put on some decent trousers and a real shirt, you already set yourself apart from the usual rabble. :P

Lolz it's actually 4/2 at Namco World CWB. The 4 dollars is what you pay at the very start of the game. If you want to continue though, it only costs two bucks.

So yeah, using current exchange rates, it's quite reasonable to play at 24 pesos per game (then 12 pesos to continue). Granted, if all you do is play once exit then play then exit, then it will cost you full price.

@anyways
The hotel that we are staying at in our visit next week is Grand Hyatt Hong Kong (so yup, it's just beside the big Convention Center).

In that case I guess the closest place to play from where we're staying at would be at HK City Game

灣仔機城
Hong Kong City Game 香港灣仔馬師道2號地庫 (軒尼詩道交界)
Basement Lee West Commercial Bldg.,375-379, Hennessy Road, Wanchai, HK

Anyone been to the above location yet? How is it there? Is the place safe? Is it non-smoking? How much is the price per game there?

Nevertheless, I will still do my best to pass by my current favorite places which are MK88, Telford and Namco CWB.

P.S.
I do have a question: Anyone been here to this place?



Yeah, it's in Sham Shui Po (the computer haven of Hong Kong) but unfortunately, that place is in the outskirts and far from the tourist areas. With that said, I want to know if they have arcade games there.......or is that place only for playing Yu-gi-oh cards(?)

My intent is to play music/rhythm games of Konami and I was thinking that the place featured in the pictures *may* be just that though I can't tell for sure.............though I do want to be sure because Sham Shui Po is far from where I'm staying and I haven't been there yet.

So I want to make sure that it is worth it for me to go up to this far place.

With that said, is anyone here familiar with that place?

Ah! I think I used to go there before, actually. (HK City Game, I mean)

If it's the place I'm thinking of, the environment is so-so, and it's smoking. Decent game selection though. I don't know what you expect with "safe" though. Most of HK is safe as long as you're not stupid and don't go out of your way to piss off the wrong people. I mean, crime is generally low here. MK88 and Telford are definitely nicer establishments in nicer neightborhoods though.

Argh! I've been to that other place too, but I remember very little about it. I think they did have a game center though... possibly... I didn't go in if there was one.

Sorry, that wasn't very helpful. ^^;

Most of hk is safe in arcades, just make sure you don't go and piss people off...

On behalf of the Aussie Thread...



!!>Merry Christmas!!<






I'll be spending Christmas next year in HK! YAY!

Yup Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to you and everyone else as well

@anyways
Flight to Hong Kong is on the 30th of December. I will most likely be at the following places:
-HK City Game (gonna check the place out since it's near Grand Hyatt in Wan Chai)
-MK 88 (most number of MT machines and the place has superb airconditioning)
-Virtual Zone (best place in PRD to play music/rhythm games as of the moment)
-Namco CWB (to fish noobs )

That's pretty much it (before we leave for Macau in a day or so).

P.S.
I do agree that it's harder to find places in Macau that have MT (esp. the place where X326X plays). I mean, just check at GOOGLE MAPS and all the street and road names are all written in Chinese (otherwise, it is in Portugese).

It's definitely harder to look for arcade/game places over there............except for Fisherman's Wharf (besides Sands Casino Macau).....but even then they don't have Maximum Tune 3 DX

I know how you felt, i tried that fisherman's wharf in macau and it didn't have mt of any sort!

i'm going to HK on the 15th so i can't wait to pump up all my cards haha
just a question about prices:
i heard MK88 is one of the best qualities arcades at reasonable prices, is this right?
n i look through the thread, what does $4HKD/$2HKD mean? is it $4 or $2 per game?
hehe im new to playing at HK cos i play in Australia n its heaps expensive here. Thanks

MK88 seems to be a nice place to play. It is a place with one of the most number (if not the most number) of Maximum Tune machines in any single location in the world (total of 24 machines: 4 are regular MT3; the other 20 are DX).

The place is well airconditioned and the staff are quite friendly. As for safety, they have a roving security team that checks against criminal elements and troublemakers (though even that is not much of an issue there).

Price for DX there is HKD$3/HKD#3 (and HKD$2/HKD$2 for regular MT3) though that was during my visit April 2009 (dunno if they lowered it now).

@anyhow

When I mentioned HKD$4/HKD$2, I meant:
HKD$4 (or four coins/tokens) - cost of game during start-up or when you are to play your first game.
HKD$2 - when you see the continue screen (which says 'yes' or 'no'), it will only cost HKD$2 or two coins/tokens to continue.

That's what I mean by HKD$4/HKD$2

@anyways
Yup, any place in HK will always be cheaper than in Australia. Even the most expensive place in Hong Kong is still cheaper than a cost per game in Australia (where most are at two australian dollars per game).

It really cost an arm and leg to play in your country (unless of course you are loaded with tons of monies or something).....

Just my two cents

meet meet up up!

Lolz

Unfortunately though, since it's a family trip (as my parents are the ones who are paying for everything), I am not in control as to when I go and where I go when I'm in Hong Kong. This is because my parents want to make the most out of our trips (like going to tourist spots, shopping, etc etc). Arcade gaming is a lower priority

Still, if you wanna try though, I would most likely be in either of the following places (as I mentioned in my last post). My cardname is "BLITZ" (the name applies to all the cards that I have).

So yeah, it's a longshot but it would be fortunate if I get to see any of you WME forumers there during my visit
