Today I happened to be 90 or so miles from home when I stumbled on an arcade tucked into the corner of this raggedy looking mall. They had a bunch of machines, 5 TimeCrisis 3 machines, 2 TimeCrisis 2 machines, a few Tekken machines and a handful of others, but one game in particular stood out to me. A lone machine between a few non-operational games was lit up and ready to go. It was Initial D Arcade Stage 4, and the card dispenser/reader still worked. I don't know, I probably spent over an hour and at least $15 in quarters playing it. It was the first Initial D arcade game I've ever seen in my area and I was really disappointed that I had found it so far away from home (2 hour drive). But I did get my cool magnetic card with my name and car stamped onto it!
The game itself was for sale, but I definitely didn't have enough money to match the $4995 price tag. Does anyone else still play these games, both the arcade and PS2 versions?
