Game City is Mawlamyine's video amusement centre where electronic video games, such as motorcycles, aeroplanes and racing cars can be played. It is located on the top floor of the Myine Yadanar Centre (MYC) at the upper end (a paw zei) of Zeigyi .

Game City has a wide choice of amusement games which include even a gambling table and jackpot machines however these are used for fun, of course and not for gambling. Because coins are no longer used in Myanmar, you'll need to buy tokens from the front desk where 500 kyat will give you twenty tokens.The tokens are then placed in the slots to enable the game to work.

There are attendants to help the little kiddies play with some of the games if needed so don't hesitate to ask. Many of the games have been imported from Japan and Korea second hand and a small number don't work properly and may freeze mid-game. You may be able to get another token from the attendant if this happens.  

Many of the amusement games have no instructions in either Myanmar language nor English, so how to play them is a bit of a mystery to both the kiddies and the store attendants, but hey, they all have fun anyway watching the bright and colourful on screen graphics. During power blackouts, you may have to wait for a few minutes before the MYC centre converts to generator power.
