Sega Republic celebrates one year of operations

Newsfeed 903 via

Of the many amusement-related attractions one can find in Dubai, UAE, few are as focused on arcades as the Sega Republic. With 76,000 sq. ft. of space, a wide selection of rides and over 250 games, including some rare Super Deluxe titles, it’s one location worth checking out if you are ever in the area. Now that the location has been in operation for one year and it has received over 700,000 visitors in that time, they are ready to celebrate that success with some promotions involving their Power Pass system. They also will be giving away prizes over the next five weeks which involve iPods, iPads, iPhones, notebooks and a trip to any destination in Europe.

So congratulations to Sega Republic, I’m not sure if I’ll ever be taking a trip to Dubai or not but at least I know some of the things I would check out when I was there.

Sega Republic in Dubai just about ready to open, will include some awesome games

Sega’s massive new entertainment facility in Dubai is getting ready to open it’s doors and with that, it is already putting it’s staff of 125 people through “intensive training sessions” on how the facility and it’s 250+ amusement games operate. Some of the video titles which will be available to play at the Sega Republic: Storm-G, Initial D4 Limited, OutRun 2 SDX, Let’s Go Jungle Special and more. There are plenty of new Sega-themed rides that will be available and they even have a “high-tech snowboarding half-pipe” that people can take a ride on.

While I have zero plans for visiting the Dubai area anytime soon, if I were going there for some reason I would definitely visit Sega Republic as it sounds like it’s going to be a top notch entertainment facility.
