scans: 3 flyers from Japan

We purchased and scanned 3 more flyers from Japan.  Click on the name under each to go to the Internet Archive to download

The first 2 are basic early-70s medal games.

I think Super Boy is just another fly-by-night bootleg machine that was used for illegal gambling.  It uses the same kind of backglass as a number of other "XXXXX Boy" machines, but with the logo removed and a "Game Over" light put in the bottom right.

The Nippon Vending one is fairly generic, but we bought it because of the smaller flyer attached to it.  If you zoom in it reveals that the photographs are actually from the USA. "US     Open Slingshot Tourney" is on the sign, and it says it was shown on NHK TV.  Perhaps a very short-lived fad, if it was ever even sold within Japan.
