Post by PC Engine Fan X! »

I keep hear about this cool Japanese arcade magazine listed here on the Shmups forum, Arcadia. Where in San Francisco Bay Area can I buy the Arcadia magazine?

I'd like to buy the Arcadia #60 for the triple arcade shmup feature alone.

There's probably a Kinokuniya/Uwajimaya or two in your area. The one I go to in Seattle gets a few Arcadias in a month, I'm sure your local one can hook you up. Google em, their website prolly has mailing options and address info.

If I call one of these stores from Denver, can I subscribe to Arcadia that way; or do I have to go through their website?

He's right, there's one in Japantown in SF inside the little mall. It sells out very fast, so ask the clerks when they get new issues.

As a matter of fact I picked up #59 today. There are still four issues there(maybe more in stock room).

Here is the store info:

Kinokuniya Bookstore(SF)
1581 Webster St.
San Francisco, CA 94115

Phone - (415) 567-7625
Fax - (415) 567-4109
san_francisco@kinokuniya.com

By the way, it costs $9.28 including tax.

I don't see #60 there yet.

Hey Dave -- I haven't checked there myself, but it's possible that the Japanese grocery in Sakura Square (downtown) might carry 'em. It's possible that Tattered Cover might as well... not sure about that one, but I've gotten Tattered Cover to order magazines (even foreign ones) that they didn't carry before.

Ah yes, I forgot about Tattered Cover here in Denver! Thanks, I'll have to check with them sometime!
