I recieved a video arcade game in the late 80's. It is a Sega game Called 'Triple Attack'. Plays similar to space invaders. Control console writing is in Japanese. I have searched all around the net for some information and can not find a single listing. Could this be a concept machine that never caught on. Or perhaps overseas only. any info would be helpful. I would like to get it out of my house.

Sounds like one of countless Space Invaders clones. I'm willing to bet that since this machine has Japanese characters on it it's probably overseas only but it's still not worth much since this type of bootleg are a dime a dozen. It's RARE, in that you're probably not ever going to see that particular Japanese machine again for sale, but it's not valuable because you'll come across a ton of similar machines over any given span of time. It is possibly a prototype (I know Sega made several odd Space Invaders knock-offs, perhaps this particular one had its name changed before release) but to your average collector, a normal, common original Space Invaders machine is worth more. Also, many Japanese titles, especially clones, aren't documented on the english side of the web, so it may be common over there, who knows. It's worth submitting it to KLOV for listing regardless.You may get a decent sum from a collector of variations/bootlegs but those are one in a million.

Still, I dig weird knock-off machines, especially of the foreign variety. Any chance you could post some pics?

Came out in 1979.

For some reason I was thinking someone once posted a pic of a cocktail one here a while back, but I can't find it now. Apparently they didn't type the title in the thread...
 
I thank you for the info. I was surprised that anyone would respond, that is why I had not logged back in for a month. I will work on posting pictures( As soon as I can set the clock on my VCR). Perhaps my son can help.
Thank you
