a great tour showing the machines and some gameplay


Not to be missed for fans of EM and early solid-state machinery.

Thank you Cait.

This video is a great example which displays how little most of us know about the amusement and vending industry in other regions of the world. I admit to being very North American based in my knowledge of coin-op like many of you, yet there is quite a bit of history and divesity when you take a closer look around the globe. Nuts I tell ya, just nuts.

I've done a lot of research on Japanese coin-op and have lately been digging a lot of European coin-op. But dang I can't say I recommend getting in to it because shipping stuff across the ocean is ridiculous, and finding stuff from other continents in North America is like a needle in a haystack.
but oh man, I have quite the wishlist of machines from across Europe!
