Was a lot of fun :-) Both Julian and Taichi were very friendly and helpful.
Highly highly recommend! The guys here at Mod Tokyo are awesome. The workshop was really cool! They’ve got all kinds vintage games on display and to play. Like Pac-Man. And the workshop itself was really fun and easy !! You get to do it all yourself and there’s wonderful people to help you along the way and make sure you’re doing good ! You get to customize pretty much every piece. And try out all their gameboy games they have once you’ve built your own :)
