Man that sucks, at least you have one near you . Although I doubt there are cards there either. It's too bad arcades are all dead in America, unless you count those claw games you find everywhere .

Try and buy it off them for 200 bucks or so. If you get it repaired you could deliver tofu from your garage.
God I love that Iroha Bunta race.
Also, this guy's FC is awesome.

All the arcades close by have shut down for the past 2 years now and the only initial d machine is 35 minutes away at the beach. Luckily Jillians opened up(very similar to Dave and Busters) and a lot of the guys working the arcades are otaku's LOL and they ended up getting version 3 for us :] Best part about it is that i can go play and have a beer in my hands, its sooo awesome!

There is only 1 initial d machine out here. But the tv is broken and it eats your money and doesn't take it. I had a R34 that was insane before they closed the arcade.

You found the ultra rare "Initial D: NASCAR Version"!!! They released this in America to drum up popularity with the series.
Lol, there's a Version 5 with card reader like 10 minutes from my house. If I wasn't 25 and felt like a pedi going to an arcade I'd be all over it. I went on a cruise recently that had an arcade w/ version 4 in it. I was super excite and would go there at 2-3 in the morning and play for hours on end. It didnt have a card reader so it kind of sucked.

You don't know how jealous I am. And you aren't even going to play it! If being 25 and liking fun makes you a pedo I guess when I hit 25 i'm in for some trouble.

It looks like they are adding in more courses to arcade stage 7 starting with tsuchisaka snow. I hope they add more than just snow variants though as shomaru is one of my favorite courses from initial d
Also Takumi in the GC8 on Akina!

Hahaha, I'm Canadian so of course I use kph,I just tend to convert when online because Murrikans think the metric system is some sort of commie ploy. Still, that arcade game is ridinkydonk, Tak is usually shown entering his.balls out slides around 100 kph, not 160!

Well there are no penalties for hitting walls to much in arcade stage 7. Plus the guy in front was actually cornering at the speeds you should be for arcade stage. The player who is chasing was abusing the boost system so he could try and overtake near the end. I hate matches like that, it's why I usually just look up time attacks or story mode gameplay.

Yeah I noticed when people hit walls they hardly lose speed but I loved the way the other player drove. Was such clean driving and I liked the way you see electric coming off his car in the aura

The best battle I have seen so far in arcade stage would be the 86 vs GC8 on akina in arcade stage 5. Perfect use of the gutters and cornering speeds, all to save his tires for the final section for the gutter run part 2. Version 5 is my favorite arcade stage physics wise, if only it just had the cars and track list from 7.
