This is more of a free-talk video on a few related topics that I’ve been thinking about lately after reading a fan publication called D30, which celebrated the 30th anniversary of Taito shooting game Darius, back in 2017.
Here I discuss the game’s impact, as well as some quotes and discussion about an interview from D30 with Mikado arcade’s owner and operator Minoru Ikeda, and the late author Gichi Otsuka.
What does it take to keep arcade history alive? How is Mikado aiding in those efforts? Find out!
