Does anyone have pics of games that are not North America / US centric? I would love to see what kind of games and cabinets were popular in other countries in the 70's and 80's...

Thanks!
 
Tim Hunkin (inventor, tv host) has the coolest collection
of unique coin-op games ever. He made them himself!
(most from scratch, a couple are conversions)

The Russian ones are really cool! I had seen those before but it is fun to look again!! Any others? What about Europe, SA, Asia?


Thanks!!
 
For those who have played them, what games rival US centric ones (fun factor)?

Are there any games that were Pac Man, Asteroids, Donkey Kong, Galaga, etc... level that never got ported over to the US??

I would imagine that even back then, anything super popular would have made it here in one form or another...?
 
Tower Of Druaga was hugely popular in Japan but never made it here... i don't think there were any dedicated cabinets in North America and possibly not even any kits, just a few random boards that made their way overseas. i'm sure someone knows better than i do about the actual numbers in the U.S.
