Where are the best arcades in Hong Kong? So far I've visited:

- Tsim Sha Tsui near Nathan Road called GameCenter
Has 2x SEGA Ghost Squad, alot of SEGAs Blast City Arcades, four 2D Shooters, Puzzle Bobble (I love it!) and about 100 other games which didn't interest me at all (even alot SNK oldschool stuff, but no Metal Slug)

- Arcade opposite of the Ocean Terminal

- Sham Shui Po Golding Centre

- Tsim Sha Tsui near Kowloon Park at the corner of Haiphong/Canton Road in the mall (groundfloor)

- supposedly there's an arcade in Times Square 9th floor, haven't found it yet

- Wan Chai on Hennessy Road

- Kowloon Bay Telford Garden 5th floor


I'm really looking for 2D Shooters and Crazy Taxi. I need my Ikaruga fix!

If you know any other big arcades then please add them here. Mh goi!

There's one near Mong Kok MTR station. It's .. uhm .. down that big walking street with all the shops, downstairs by the McDs. Lots of racing games, but also a good selection of 2D games as well as some crazy Sega soccer setup for 16 players.

Sorry I can't be more precise.

Edit: See above

You've listed some place there that I've not been to and obviously need to check out sometime.

I'm not in HK at the moment but there should also be a Namco Wonder Park on the 5th floor of the World Trade Centre in Causeway Bay (there used to be some kind of Biohazard/Resident Evil "attraction" there but it closed about 2-3 years ago).

I seem to remember that the arcade in Times Square was pretty good (it had lots of 2D shooters and fighters, plus various Bemani-type games) and it's worth a visit, but it's a bit of trek to get up all those escalators/a bit of a long wait for the lift to the top.

There is, and it's pretty good. You can even get free Pac-Man plastic bags there! Woohoo.

Heh ! Really ?!! What a pity !

I hadn't been there for quite a while, closed ? It must be struggling for quite a while already since not many people were paying to play than standing to watch (like me).

Watch out if you go the the arcades there man! Thieves hang out there because they know your attention is diverted when you're playing that new driving game. Had a book stolen it was RIGHT next to me

But ... I was there like 6 months ago, and I was planning to go back. That's just not right.

Ok, "Virtual Zone" in Kowloon Bay is nice. But I don't care about SEGA's Ghost Squad Shooter, Bemani, King of Fighters, Soccer and co which is quite popular in HK. I do love Raiden Fighters and Strikers 1945 I from Psykio though. Great 2D shooters. Take a look at the number 1 highscore from "mk", that's me guys.

But, nevertheless, I'm still looking for Ikaruga and F-Zero AX. My memory card waits for the last F-Zero car from story chapter 7. help me GAF!

post scriptum: it's actually on the 3rd (!) floor in telford garden. sorry for that
