Akihabara Flash Map (please check it out)

I don't follow. :/

And yes, I will make a printable version soon. I"ve alerady thought about it, just haven't gotten around to it. I assume I would just need to make a gigantic JPEG with shop names visible.

 

Hidden extras... they call them eastereggs on dvds!

 

Hmm...
well, if I ever get that much content then I might hide some stuff in there. Got a ways to go until that time though.

 

Secret hidden stuff in any digital media = easteregg, never seen a DVD one though It doesn't have to be content, make an invisible area that if you click a crazy picture pops up or something, that'd be an easteregg. It's not fun now that we're discussing it

 

Im still waiting for it to load, but anyway surely the magic of akihabara is being able to walk around it and find the shops without the use of maps. Akihabara isn't that big and every shop you can find from leaving Kanda station walking all the way to Suehirocho station on the Ginza line walking no more then two streets either side of the road between those two stations. It's more magical to find shops then to know where Trader 2 or Super Potato is. Although playing travel to suburbs of Tokyo and walk 50 minutes east of a station to find a shop that sells Famicom games cheap is more fun.

I remeber I did that and I still remember buying Side Pocket on the Famicom in Trader on the first day I was in Tokyo on a cold wet April night.

 

You say Tomatoe, I say enough people specifically asked for something like this on the internet to warrant it. It's magical if you live there. If you're just visiting you want to know where to get the good games.

 

I seriously wish I had a map.. None of my Akiba trips were very eventful, too much walking around in circles looking for places.

 

Takes about 10+ trips to break out of the circle. Was months before I ever stepped foot into Trader.

 

That would be awesome.

 

Hi All... ^_^

i can't get the map.

it's down?

thanks

 

Another map would be great. When I went the first time a few years back, a japanese guy I know (KinsukeJP) made quite a good one. But sadly its now horribly out of date.

The second time I went half the shops had changed. Well, I lie, mayb two or three had changed, but you know what I mean.

A printable JPEG/GIF whatever would be great, and much appreciated.

 

CpSTeve: There was a problem with IE. It shoudl work now.

Szcezepaniak: I went to all the shops on the map as late as September. No promises after that. I"m working on a printable version, but not sure when I'll be done. I want to make more noticeable changes to it (like icons other than circles) before releasing something new, and there's a lot of other shit I'm working on.

 

Goodluck! Certainly a worthwile task you are doing.
