Let's go visit another arcade! This time we're looking at 1973's 愛欲の罠 aka Trapped In Lust
 |
| 愛欲の罠 / Aiyoku no wana aka Trapped in Lust (1973) |
This is a big one, so buckle up! We are going to go cut-by-cut, but when possible I will try and use screen caps with the best view of any machine to identify it. That will mean a handful of machines seen in broad shots will come up later in this post. Some machines are only barely visible, and have to be included even when they're not readily visible.
We dive right in to the scene with a stone-cold classic...
 |
| 1971 Jockey Club - ジョッキー・クラブ by セガ (Sega) I am not sure what the difference is, but the game also exists as "Derby Day" with an orange cabinet and one extra red button on the center of the control panel. Perhaps a replay button? |
 |
| hell yeah Hoshi, let's go inside! This place rules. |
Does this start with a coin-operated TV set? Nope, it's a quiz game! (Sun Trial added 2022-08-03)
 |
| ~1970 Sun Trial by Sankyo |
 |
| 1: 1967 Rock-Ola 434 2: 1972 Monster Gun by Sega |
 |
| 1972 Monster Gun - モンスターガン by セガ (Sega) (from the Bruce Z collection) |
There is a front row of what appear to be crane games...
 |
| 1: 1968 Super Skill Diga - スーパー・スキル・ディガ by セガ (Sega) 2: another Diga 3: another Diga 4: UNKNOWN MACHINE 5: Space Crane |
 |
| 1968 Super Skill Diga - スーパー・スキル・ディガ by セガ (Sega) |
The next 2 games also appear to be Skill Diga machines, but with a brown cabinet.
The 4th machine down is a mystery. It has a slant, with the back side higher than the front, but no backglass.
In a later image we can see it from the rear. There appears to something on the right of frame here, like a handle, but it could also just be a gun that a props person left there, as it is not visible in the first scenes. You can see by the cables run along the ground that some things were moved between filming takes.

| 1 (front left): コインゲーム (coin game) 2: (back left): 1972 スペースクレーン (Space Crane) by 三共 (Sankyo) 3 (right): unknown machine ??? |
 |
| 1972 スペースクレーン (Space Crane) by 三共 (Sankyo) |
 |
| コインゲーム (coin game) 1969 or earlier |
 |
| コインゲーム (coin game) & a New Space Crane (the sequel to Space Crane) as seen at 相模湖公園 |
To the right of the Monster gun, and immediately above the Skill Digas in this frame, we have two gun games. One I don't know, one I know:
 |
| 1: Prehistoric Hunter - カイジュウX (Kaiju X) by サニック (Sunic) [presumed] 2: 1968 Chū Hunter - チューハンター by 三共 (Sankyo) |
Update 2023-08-07: FOUND THIS GUN GAME!
 |
| Prehistoric Hunter - カイジュウX (Kaiju X) by サニック (Sunic) [presumed] 1 |
 |
similar body to Chu Hunter below, same orange/red panel in front of the gun |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| 1968 Chū Hunter - チューハンター by 三共 (Sankyo) |
 |
| 1973 ミニドライブ [15 year version] (Mini Drive) by 関西精機 (Kansai Seiki -- Kasco) |
 |
| 1972 Grand National Race - グランド・ナショナル・レース by セガ (Sega) |
Just around the corner of Grand National Race we can see the tail end of another machine poking out of the frame:
 |
| Grand National, Gun Fight, and then an air hockey table which we'll get a better view of later |
 |
| 1969 Gun Fight by Sega |
and then let's get to the right of the frame...
On the left we have a racist "Little Sambo" kind of caricature. Ugggh.
 |
| ズッコケメダマ(自動販売機) circa 1973 |
Then there's a domed basketball game, but we'll get a better view of that later.
And then we have some vending machines.
but did you see that gun that was in the bottom right corner, at the front of our vision? Well I found it.
 |
| 1972? |
The men walk to the back of the arcade where we find them at a blue+white shooting gallery, with the 2 Jockey Club machines in the background
 |
| Target Bowling - ターゲットボーリング by 栗田技研 (Kurita Giken) & タイトー (Taito) |
I swear they just cut to this scene to mock the poor guy staring at the bouncing ball. He's not even playing it.
 |
| 1973 Pong-Tron - ポントロン by セガ (Sega) |
First up on this frame we have the Monster Gun, which we listed above. The new games are:
 |
| 1972 Pro-Bowler - プロボウラー by セガ (Sega) |
 |
| 1972 King Kool by Gottlieb |
 |
| 1972 Grand Slam by Gottlieb |
 |
| 1969 Joust by Bally |
We pan over a little bit on the pinball row and reveal 3 more titles:
 |
| 1971 Now by Gottlieb |
 |
| 1972 Fan-Tas-Tic by Williams |
 |
| 1972 Fireball by Bally |
 |
| 1: 1973 Target Bowling - ターゲットボーリング by マル三商会 (Marusan Shokai) 2: that racist caricature statue / ride 3: 1971 Jockey Club - ジョッキー・クラブ by セガ (Sega) 4: 1972 Desert Fox by MCI 5: train kids ride 6: driving game 7: pachinko stand 8: 1972 Crown Basketball - バスケットボール (basketball) by タイトー (Taito) 9: 1973 Speed Hockey - スピード・ホッケー by セガ (Sega) |
UPDATE 2022-02-26 - found the yellow cabinet
 |
| 1972 Desert Fox by MCI distributed in Japan by Taito |
I do not know this game:
 |
| This looks similar to Champion Rally, but there is no top marquee, and the vertical stripes are a bit different. The rest of the cabinet is the same, so it is probably the same company. |
 |
| Champion Rally - チャンピオンラリー by 三共 (Sankyo) came out 1969 or before |
When you see a 1970s pachinko machine with no upper feeder tray, it is usually a payout machine. You insert a coin and get a limited number of balls to meet a goal.
 |
| 1972 Crown Basketball - バスケットボール (basketball) by タイトー (Taito) |
 |
| 1973 Speed Hockey - スピード・ホッケー by セガ (Sega) |
What a lovely arcade! We're off to a whole new part of the arcade with so much more.
 |
| and they're off! |
 |
| 1: 1972 リンゴの木 (Apple Tree) by 関西精機 (Kansai Seiki) 2: 1973 Pong-Tron - ポントロン by セガ (Sega) 3: 1972 Attack by Sega |
we'll see a better shot of this one later
 |
| 1972 リンゴの木 (Apple Tree) by 関西精機 (Kansai Seiki) |
 | |
|
 |
| 1972 Attack by Sega |
 |
| 1972 Attack by Sega |
 |
| 1: 1969 Post Time by Williams 2: 1970 Snow Derby by Williams 3: 1972 Turkey Bool - ターキーボール (Turkey Ball) by 関東電機 (Kanto Electric) 4: 1970 Trail Drive by Bally 4: 1967 Rifleman - ライフルマン by セガ (Sega) 5: ~1969 ソロッタ (solotta) by 日本自動販売機 (Japan Vending Machine) 6: 1972 んごの木 (Apple Tree) |
We need one more frame to properly identify one of the pins:
first pin on the left, we just see a sliver of it but can identify it as:
 |
| 1969 Post Time by Williams |
Next pin we get a decent blob of it's colour and can point it out readily:
I am unable to figure out which pinball machine this :
 |
It seems to have text near the upper left with a font like Bally's 1969 Joust. It has a black-trim cabinet, which is something Williams did for some games starting in the late 1960s, but which was more common indicator of early Sega pinball machines in Japan. Every Sega game from 71-73 has black trim on the headbox, and all have the white paint on the neck, with the exceptions of Crazy Clock and Explorer which have pink and blue paint on their necks, respectively. There is a white-ish angular streak going towards the top-left side. What looks like maybe a woman's face on the left? It might just be a reflection, but the glow in the bottom left might be a nixie tube display? I am at a loss as to what game this is. |
Update 2022-10-27: I have found this elusive pinball machine! I saw this photo of a 1972 arcade and was able to loosely match up the colour smudge from the movie frame to the black and white smudge here.
Then I noticed the peculiar coin door that had an encircled button on the metal coin door itself:
 |
| 1972 Turkey Bool - ターキーボール (Turkey Ball) by 関東電機 (Kanto Electric) |
there is basically one single frame where we get a smear of colour of the 4th pinball machine...
 |
| we work with what we've got |
 |
| 1970 Trail Drive by Bally |
There are technically 2 more pins continuing that row, but we get no real view of them.
Across the aisle, we have 3 more machines:
Hey look at that vertical red stripe on the left! Look familiar?
 |
| 1967 Rifleman - ライフルマン by セガ (Sega) |
 |
| 1967 Rifleman - ライフルマン by セガ (Sega) |
 |
| ソロッタ (solotta) by 日本自動販売機 (Japan Vending Machine) 1969 or earlier |
the last machine is 1972 んごの木 (Apple Tree) which we featured above.
New scene! We've seen much of this before, but the new angle shows us four machines behind the gunman on the right.
 |
| we are going to focus on those 4 machines on the right: 1: 1973 Pro-Football by Gottlieb 2: 1968 Dixieland by Bally 3: 1972 Sand Buggy - サンド・バギー by セガ (Sega) 4: 1972 Time 80 - タイム・エイティー by ユニバーサル (Universal) |
 |
| 1968 Dixieland by Bally |
 |
| 1972 Sand Buggy - サンド・バギー by セガ (Sega) |
The fourth machine is hiding. No, not the coin machine, the vertical machine behind it!
 |
| 1972 Time 80 - タイム・エイティー by ユニバーサル (Universal) note: this might be a "best guess". There were similar games to Time 80 released in a similar speckled cabinet. |
We cut back to this angle, which reveals two smaller games on the right. These two have proven to be very challenging.
Let's grab some snaps and do some colour correction:
 |
| UNKNOWN MACHINE |
UNKNOWN GAME: The first machine seems to be a pachinko-style game named "Diamond Punch". I cannot find any reference to this. Does anyone know?
It seems reminiscent of this game by サニック (Sunic), and based on the font alone I feel it's a machine by Sunny Tokyo / Sunic.
 |
| Coin Punch - コイン パンチ by サニック (Sunic) |
 |
upper center oblong light (there is a bulb so it glows from the inside)4 lights in the mid sectionlight above the center goalvertical white column (goal)
 |
UPDATE 2022-03-03: Found it!
 |
| Rich-Ball - リッチボール by サニック (Sunic) released sometime between 1970-1973 |
One last glimpse inside our majestic arcade:
The first side-row of fresh machines is hard to see.
The 2nd machine there looks like another Time 80 but it's not. There are lots of machines that were in this kind of cabinet. Lucky for us, friend of the blog James alerted us to how there is a short scene earlier in the movie that reveals the lineup:
The movie actually prefaces this with a shot of JUMBO, but sideways. Let's rotate it for a nice look at the playfield:
 |
| 1973 Jumbo - ジャンボ by 昭和遊園機械 (Showa Amusement Park Machinery) |
Another photo of these two kinds of games next to each other, showing the height difference:
 |
| 1973 Jumbo - ジャンボ by 昭和遊園機械 (Showa Amusement Park Machinery) |
The next one in the line:
 |
| 1973 Derby - ダービー by ユニバーサル (Universal) |
The last machine seems to be a setup similar to Spiral Ball, but all I can say is that it is this kind of stand. The one in the movie seems to have a score (ascending 1-10) on the right of each machine, which we do not see in the Spiral Ball setup below. Also note that there is no sign for it in the movie, and the game slots actually seem to be currently empty.
 |
| 1971 Spiral Ball - スパイラルボール by 中村製作所 (Nakamura Seisakusho) |
 |
| the cabinet shape in the movie looks more like Spiral Ball, but I show this one as an example of similar cabinets on the market. |
 |
| unknown game |
The rest of the machines, 6 more EM upright arcade games:
 |
| 1972 Matchlock - 火縄銃 by セガ (Sega) |
 |
| 1970 Night Rider - ナイトライダー by セガ (Sega) |
This next one is hard to see. We only get a sliver, but can still identify it:
 |
| 1971 Sky Fighter II - スカイファイターII by Taito |
 |
| 1970 Jet Rocket - ジェット・ロケット by セガ (Sega) |
 |
| 1971 Rapid Fire - ラピットファイヤー by Taito |
 |
| 1971 Monte Carlo - モンテカルロ by セガ (Sega) |
We are done! There are a number of games in this arcade I could not identify. If you have any further information, please leave a comment below or email me at thetastates@gmail.com
Definitely amazing.
ReplyDeleteExcept for the difference between DERBYDAY and JOCKYCLUB, there is nothing to add to your research.
The "extra red button" is the start button. The player selects "My Horse" from the 1 to 3 buttons and then presses the start button to start the game.
JOCKY CLUB does not have a start button. JOCKY CLUB will start the game as soon as the player selects the "my horse" button.
