Iirc, the outlet at Sg. Wang was called Sega Satellite, while at Sunway Pyramid was called Sega City (bigger).
In addition to the usual arcade machines, got Virtual Reality headsets/machines (forgot permanent or temporary, only tried once), the red almost full-sized car (what racing game was that already?), .... while at Sega City got the Mechwarrior machines/booth.  Outside Sg. Wang, near main entrance, there was a similar full immersion game machine for a while, right?
Yeap, cheapest was ... err ... RM3 if buy in bulk of 10 DVDs.  Got two bigger stalls at the back with more customers, coz their service were nicer n more knowledgeable about the games (one was a leng chai).

At first, I don't like Sg. Wang layout; if wanna go up or down a floor, gotta go all the way round ... then got used to the middle staircase near the back, faster, can go straight to the IT floor, when pass-by the magazine store sure browse for sold-for-cheaper-not-new gaming magazines.

SG WAng is Sega Satellite... was supposed to have all the latest SEGA arcade games,

Then Sega CITY which supposed to have all the larger game units...

Sega Universe/Planet was planned... it was supposed to be a theme park based on sega characters and games... but sega went bust before that happenned... not to mentioned that the sega satellite was filled with non sega games as other arcade center decided to pitch in on the high volume of arcaders that time.

now it's all gambling den.
