I was perusing through flyers for art, and found this. Has anyone seen one of these, or do they even exist? There are no actual pictures of one on the flyer.

Perhaps it's a wall mounted game.

Fixed that for you...


If you are talking about the cabinet on the right it is wall mounted. They were fairly common in Europe, a few of our members have posted pictures over the years of assorted games in these cabs.
 
It's not a bartop, it's a wall machine. Those machines were hung on a wall. It's typical German and they still make these type of wallmachines but than for gambling:

These types of machines definitely exist, I've seen plenty of them, and plenty of them for sale too.

Not 100% sure I ever so the Puckman though...

These silver one's are the nicest IMHO. The "marquee" (The blue plastic) is almost always done in a cool 3D set-up.

They are very easy to work on of course, but playing them is a lot less comfortable...
 
Typical modern-day gambling wall machine, you find them everywhere in Germany:

They even made CD jukeboxes in this format. You can see the mechanism change the CDs, which is cool to watch and the mechanism to select songs is very cool too.

These were also exported to the US, I saw one in a McDonald's not too far from Fun Spot in 2011 :)

I used to own that zero hour wall machine that my good friend level42 just posted, more pics here: http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=179912

They are pretty unique and cool imo, but my game room is very small (7cabs max) so i replaced it with an outrun mini.. Also playing games on them is kinda hard because of the joystick position... Mine had a pretty nice 3d kinda marque which was awesome.
