Hong Kong VOOT Scene
By Kevin Phang
Location
The arcade is called "Golden Star arcade",located in Carnavon Centre at Carnavon Road. It's quite easy to get there, just take the MTR(MRT) to Tsim Sha Tshui, come out of exit B2, you will find yourself at Carnavon Road, just walk down the road till you see the arcade.
Day 1
On 10th of Dec, I went down to HongKong to try and contact the HKVOC there. I went to the arcade at around 6pm. The VOOT machines there are wierd, it is VOOT but the cabinet is VOOM !! Anyway, I played a solo game as no one was playing at that time. It is VERY expensive,HK$5 per game!!(S$1+) When i got to the Angelan stage,a crowd had formed behind me. After i cleared Angelan, i turned around and invited the crowd to challenge me, they didnt even bother to give me a reply and just continued to stand there. Well,i completed the game(*yawn*), and went for dinner .One thing to note, the weather there is REALLY cold(12 degrees), my hands nearly froze when playing.
Day 2
The next day, 11th of Dec, i went down to the arcade again at about 5pm. Again no one was playing, I played a solo game and a crowd gathered again, *sigh*,this time i didnt bother to ask them anymore, I continued on with my game and completed it again, hoping they will automatically challenge me, well....HK$10 wasted.
Day 3
On the 12th, I went to the arcade for the last time at about 8pm.Same thing happened again. I dont know why they just refuse to challenge me. Maybe because there is no Fei Yen users there?? Or the HKVOC wants to keep their skills a secret?? It remains a mystery. Hmm....wasted HK$15 there, maybe can claim from SiVOC?? hehehehehe
