ウルトラマン (Ultraman) episode 30 まぼろしの雪山 (aired 1967-02-05)

1961 Egg Head by Gottlieb

pinball lineup, from left to right:
I can't see the first pinball on the left (only half on the screen)
Furidashi - フリダシゲーム by 日本遊園設備 (Japan amusement park equipment)
then 2 copies of Home Run - ホームランゲーム by 日本展望娯楽社 (Japan Outlook Entertainment Company)
Basket Game - バスケットゲーム by 児童遊園設備 (Children's amusement park equipment)

in the back right we see:
1966 Periscope - ペリスコープ by Sega









the back sign says オリンピア・センター (Olympia Center) so it's safe to assume the slots are 1964 Olympia Star by Sega.   The profile lines up, the sign says Olympia, but it's in the background I can't be be 100% sure.





on the left is says "Astronauts" and then beneath it I believe is says "宇宙探検" (Space Exploration)
This is the first time I have ever seen this machine or seen a mention!
     



五番目の刑事第9話 (Fifth Detective Episode 9) (aired 1969-11-20) shared by yartsensei

at the back is 1969 Champion License - チャンピオンライセンス by 太東貿易 (Taito Trading)
on the bottom right is an unknown machine I'm hoping to identify some day.


unknown machine
Any help would be appreciated.







鴨川シーワールド (Kamogawa Sea World) (1972) shared by kncmc2019





1971 Super Road 7 - スーパーロードセブン by タイトー (Taito)
~1970 Football (stand only!  game seems to be missing!)



even though the game is missing, we can identify the stand.

These games were imported from Europe and sold by Taito under their name.


Here is what that game looks like, just with a different name:







on the left is 1970 Magic Card - マジックカード by タイトー (Taito)





we are unable to see any details about the pinball machines, but we can see to the right:
1969 Intelligence Computer - インテリジェンス コンピューター by タイトー (Taito)





特別機動捜査隊 (Special Mobile Investigation Team) episode 741 (aired 1975-11-12) shared by VGL_JP

1973 Davis Cup byTaito
1973 Elepong by Taito
1970s Marry Computer - マリーコンピュー by サニック (Sunic)
AV World Vision










in front it looks like we have a few copies of 1974 Deluxe Skil Diga by Sega.  Many cranes look alike but the marks do line up extemely well.
center of the frame, I think that is a late 1960s バスケットボール (basketball) by さとみ (Satomi).  The glass shape lines up, the button panel, the white top section.








1972 Time 80 - タイム・エイティー by ユニバーサル (Universal)






1975 Play-Mate - プレイメイト by コパルマシン (Copal Machine)
1974 Derby - ダービー by ユニバーサル (Universal)

pair of unknown machines.  Perhaps they are viewers?

Rotamint Fortuna
Rotamint Bingo Royal
late 1960s ニューオリンピア (New Olympia) by セガ (Sega)














秘密戦隊ゴレンジャー (Himitsu Sentai Gorenger) ep 61 (aired 1976-09-18) shared by 1banboshi_


1975 Seesaw Ball - シーソー・ボール by タイトー (Taito)





1972 Speed Runner - スピードランナー by タイトー (Taito)
1972 Border Line - ボーダー・ライン by タイトー (Taito)
1974 Top Card by Gottlieb
1974 Out of Sight by Gottlieb
1975 El Dorado by Gottlieb
1975 Seesaw Ball - シーソー・ボール by タイトー (Taito)










From ザ・スーパーガール (The Super Girl, aired 1979-1980) shared by kncmc2019:
this is probably not a coinop machine as there is no mechanism for automatically setting up the pins.  If you have any information on "Hustler & Bowl" please let me know!

It is still very cool to see 2 of these set up in a store. 

I am including this photo for the signage in the background

1972 Pro-Bowler by Sega
