Another USSR Arcade Cabinet

That just screams Dragon's Lair hellcade. The shape is so close to a Cinematronics cabinet with the marquee section cut. Damn, even in USSR they support hellcades. :eek::D
 
I wonder if there are any great USSR hidden gems out there? Tetris was created in USSR, afterall, so obviously there are some very talented people out there. It would be cool if USSR games were on MAME.

Poly Play seems sort of interesting; it was the only arcade game made in East Germany before the fall of the Berlin Wall:

You can play the games here (click on the text on the bottom to start, select the game, hit CTRL, hit g to get through the instructions, and then either g or ctrl act as the action button):

The water catching and the butterfly capturing games are kinda interesting. Their skiing game is kinda fun too. The pac-man rip off is pretty lame though (can't even eat the enemies!).

Are there any other countries that have long lost arcade games that can be brought to the light? I'd really like to uncover some hidden gems from random countries in the world (France, Spain, China, India, anywhere).

So the physical machine couldn't trick you, but nobody questioned the games theme of a version of polo played with the carcass of a dead goat?
 
I'm going for HOAX!

That's a DL cabinet, and the artwork doesn't look beaten upon like the rest of the cab.

It doesn't look remotely fake to me.

BTW, here is a closeup screenshot of the game, and here is another one. This is a closeup shot of the side showing the crudely painted letters, and this is another shot of the machine from the other side.
 
Nice laser player drawer too.... definitely a hellcade DL cab. I wonder how they managed to get an American cabinet to USSR? I don't think the Euro DL cabs were the same as domestic.... I always thought they were different.
