Today I’m going to test you on Arcade Mania! trivia and tell you how you can win a copy of this book from Jean Snow, Kodansha International Limited and The Nihon Sun.

How well do you know the video game scene in Japan?  Can you answer these Arcade Mania! trivia questions?

1. What were game centers in Japan called in the late 1970′s?
2. What is the name of the Japanese comic art that is featured in many of today’s arcade games?
3. What are the scribbles that are made on sticker pictures from game centers in Japan called?

All you need to do is answer these three questions correctly and include the name of your favorite arcade game, retro or current, in the comments and you will be entered to win – it’s that simple!
