At the former Yurakucho Sofmap turned Bic 別館. They had a space invaders game and a display of all the nostalgic famicons. The store was packed with people half of which were Bic store clerks yelling thru megaphones and creating a hell of a noise.

They have an awesome display of video-games machines: all the retro stuff from Atari - PC Engine - 3DO - Saturn - XBOX 360! Priceless collection!!

cool! Is photing allowed? Like can I stand there with an SLR and snap every console in that display without being told to get lost?

At Bic, they now have signs that say “no photography” I still pull out my GR and snap a quick photo but have been yelled at a few times.

The sign is in Japanese or English? If it’s in Japanese, I’m just gonna have to tell them the truth, “sorry Bic dude, I don’t read or write Kanji”

Hahahahahahahah

Roy, I am using Firefox and notice something strange. When I click on a photo I get a new window with the enlarged version. However, the right hand side of the photo is not displayed. For example, the photo with the woman: the white signboard is not displayed. Any idea why Firefox displays incomplete pictures? I can not resize those windows.

All my photos will load in the same window. However, sometimes I have photos of different sizes. If you open a small photo and then click a larger one. The larger one will open in the smaller window and will seem cut off. If you click onto the larger photo is will automatically close the popup window. Try closing all the other windows and it should work.

Thanks for your advise. Unfortunately does it not work for me. I notice that at other websites I have the same issue: the right hand side of photo’s are not displayed. I have not yet figured out what is causing this.

J., I use Firefox too and haven’t ran into that problem.
What’s your screen’s resolution? Roy’s photos are 800×600, so if your resolution is smaller than that you’d be missing part of the photo.
