#4I wonder if they could sell it to consumers instead of focusing on malls and places. There are certain type of Arcade that offer better experience beyond console and computer gaming.
But I guess that is too courages move for a Japanese company.

#5I remember the fun of going to a couple Sega arcades in Tokyo in ‘98 when there on business. At one of them they had people out front handing out mini packs of Sega branded tissues! They gave me several, it was a cool souvenir I shared with a few friends.

#6Note Sega is divesting from arcades (the places of business), but they still make machines that go into arcades.

#7One of my best friends LOVES Sega and in 2017 we got the opportunity to not only visit Japan but the Sega arcade as well. Such great memories, it will be missed.

#8I have a lot of found memories of Sega World in Picadilly Circus. Later as I lived in Japan, I really loved the Sega arcades. Truly the end of an Era.
Sega is a company that I always liked and always feel regret for, I loved my dreamcast and wished they had remained in the console business, I loved their arcades and wish they would still be there. It's one of the companies that most marked my childhood and early twenties.

#9GameWorks, the American-based joint venture started by Sega and Dreamworks, closed all of its remaining locations last month. RIP the downtown Seattle arcade.
