scans: 14 Japanese eremeka flyers, 1979-2013

Here is another batch of Japanese eremeka flyers I purchased.  ty to Joey for scanning them. A big range of years here.  The 1979 Caribbean Pirates is the obviously priziest of them all, but also of note is the super rare 電流イライラ棒 バベル (Electric Frustrating Stick Babel) which is a machine that made it to the amusement expo but I do not think it entered full production. (the flyer has an illustration, but we have seen a photo from the 1997 show)

This blog stands in protest against the USA's horrific attempts to eliminate trans people from society. Trans people have always existed, in every society, but the administration has embraced a moral panic, declared a war against reality, and says that trans people can no longer be allowed to exist. This includes making their healthcare illegal, censoring books and school curriculum from university level down to elementary school, banning trans people from bathrooms, and declaring trans existence to be child abuse.

This blog stands in solidarity with all of the youth who are being terrorized by a fascist president that has declared them to be threats that must be eliminated.

The USA is disappearing random brown people off the streets via unidentified masked gestapo and shipping them off to concentration camps and notorious foreign prisons, all with no due process. The world witnessed ICE execute a mother and a nurse and then lie about what we saw. Solidarity for all who are in the gaze of this American Nazism terror campaign against its own people.

scans: eremeka flyers from Taito

Some rare Taito flyers courtesy Mike Minchew. I love the 1960s machines!  Those 2 basketball flyers are probably not from 1967, but that is when those games first appeared. They were built and exported for a number of years, especially the 902 model.  The Taito Stagecoach flyer is interesting, as it is a Kasco product. Taito was probably handling the exporting.

Mike Minchew is a prolific collector of Pinball and Arcade/Video Flyers with over 12,000 spare flyers available for sale/trade.  He is always looking to buy flyers for his collection - from a single flyer to entire collections. Mike can be reached at mike.minchew@verizon.net

scans: 5 Komaya (こまや) flyers from Japan

I love Komaya machines!  Many of their machines make me think of pre-war trade stimulators. Spin Ball and Rock 'n Roll are essentially gambling machines, but wouldn't you much prefer to gamble like this instead of at a computer screen? Mountain Climber is a much-loved action game.

Thank you to Gerry Halle for scanning these for me.

eremeka.com - my other blog

It came to my attention that I should probably broadcast this again. I have a project cataloguing Japan's electromechanical arcade history.

http://eremeka.com

aka

a foreigners' guide to eremeka arcades - 外国人のためのエレメカアーケードゲームガイド  

I've documented 5700+ machines. The database is tracking Japan's arcade history from the earliest traces to the introduction of coin-op machines to the post-war reconstruction and on to arcade dominance.

I want to point out the research publication list link where it gives you a full list of our acquired research materials. Scanned items are linked, so it gives you an idea of the materials that are left to scan.

I gave a presentation on the database for Replaying Japan 2025, video and transcript included.
