exploring the arcade in the TV show Gメン’75 #24 二人組警官ギャング (G-Men '75 #24 Two Cops and a Gang) aired 1975

This is the first of two episodes from this TV show that we are going to explore.



Let's go inside...



1975 Group Bingo - グループ ビンゴ by セガ (Sega)







along the back,

1974 Trak 10 by Atari (archive)
this game was sold as GT-X in Japan

 and 2 copies of Speed Race

1974 Speed Race - スピードレース by タイトー (Taito)





These appear to be from a Super Continental slot.  The bullseye target is not that common.  Only thing that doesn't click here is that on every Super Continental picture I see the third column is red, not orange.

1970 Super Continental - スーパーコンチネンタル by バーリー (Bally)
earliest I've seen in Japan is 1974

 






1972 Super Star by Williams






The machine in the foreground is Magic Toppers

Magic Toppers - マジックトッパー by クロンプトン (Crompton) & imported by ジャパンオーバーシーズビジネス (Japan Overseas Business) in 1973
Originally made in 1969
 

In the reflection below you can see how the side rail says "FIND THE BALL".  You bet on which hat the ball will appear under.  That's about it. :)

This game was so well received in Japan that Crompton ended up making a new version for the Japanese market in 1975.



slot machine on the left is a 1974 Bally 'Treasury'


1974 Treasury by Bally






Slot machine on the far left has a different backglass, but everything else matches up with the 5-Lines, including the 2 different 5-digit score reels in the head.


1970 5-Lines Pay by Bally



There's a blurry slot machine in the back...


Extra Line Continental by バーリー (Bally) & imported by エース自動機 (Ace Jidoki) in 1971





New Penny Falls spotted in the upper left, Spanish Eyes on the right.

New Penny Falls - ニュー・ペニー・フォールズ by クロンプトン (Crompton) & imported by ジャパンオーバーシーズビジネス (Japan Overseas Business) in 1973 (and then other companies imported it as well IIRC)

1971 Spanish Eyes by Williams

 

 

 

A final glimpse of those colourful hats (toppers!)


There is also a pachinko parlor scene.

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, declaring trans life to be child abuse, and banning trans people from bathrooms.

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

The USA is disappearing random brown people off the streets via unidentified masked men and shipping them off to concentration camps and notorious foreign prisons, all with no due process. Solidarity for all who are in the gaze of this American Nazism terror campaign against its own people.
