exploring the arcade in the Yaffle - Reconnect music video

My daughter wanted to see some of the Pokemon 25 music videos and hey it has some candystore games!

To borrow my favourite Pokemon catch phrase, "Let's enter this building!"

Operator hack on a Duomat

FoghAndersen has revealed another operator hack, this time on a Duomat.  Someone had put 4 metal straps to remove 4 different stopping points, and thus reduce the odds. 

Go check out his post!

updates

The post "exploring the Japanese arcades in this tweet..." has been mostly redone, adding a few machines and more clarification.  There are still 3 pinball-style machines I have not been able to identify.

I have redone the post "exploring the arcade in ずべ公番長 ざんげの値打もない (1971) aka Delinquent Girl Boss: Worthless to Confess aka Delinquent Girl Boss: Unworthy of Penance" with all my knew research.  All machines seen are identified, except for what I assume is a generic arcade pachinko cabinet.
