Meteor: For Original Gamers
Retro gaming is all the rage these days, and it's never been easier to join the craze and hop on the nostalgic trip, what with re-issues of classics becoming available through online services such as Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade and Nintendo's Virtual Console. Some go one step further though, and prefer to collect and play the original cartridges and consoles, and if that's your thing, then Meteor in Kichijoji is going to be your gaming paradise. Even better, they also carry all sorts of retro gaming-related goods, like CDs, books, toys, and of course, great looking tees (a lot of them from The King of Games).
If you're in town this coming weekend, catch the Meteor-produced all-night event, "FAMIMODE," in Kichijoji's Star Pine's Cafe on Saturday (January 27, from midnight, 3000 yen at the door, 2500 yen in advance). The who will include, among others, performances by YMCK and 6955 -- think famicom-produced soundtracks -- and much more, including a specially produced The King of Games tee (pictured above).
