thread of my posts, starting with my latest:
exploring the arcade in the 1978 movie 鬼畜 / Kichiku (The Demon)

each blog entry features an arcade in a movie (mostly from ) and tries to identify all of the machines.
This is an exceptionally difficult task because:

  1. I'm focused on movies from the 1930s-1970s
  2. Japanese arcade machines were not well documented until I got fed up and started my eremeka site

There is actually a bunch of porn in this whole thread, but all the others are "roman porno" or what we used to call "blue movies".

https://pinballnovice.blogspot.com/2023/10/exploring-arcade-in-1992-01-tv-tv-mook.html

This was an incredible amount of work. When someone says "prewar game", we have to specify WW2, WW1, Russo-Japanese war... because some of these machines go into the 19th century.
The translated documentary is also linked.
