Russian Arcade machines

Dizzy · 13 December 2007, 17:14

A Danish newspaper got an article about old russian arcademachines

http://e.avisen.dk/aarhus/index.php?...s=1485&p=33788

Here is some picture of the machines:

The first one is an machine for grabbing some toys (not really an arcade machine but:

The nex is a game where you answer some question about traffic rules

This one is an airbattle game where you shoot down airoplanes

This one you control a tank.

This one you shoot at small targets

This one is a submarine game, shoot the submarine with missiles

This is some really buttugly machines, but they are from the old soviet union, so maybe someone can tell a little about them

Nice screenies there Dizzy, I bet all the arcade machines were built like T60's too, weighed a ton or two and would just keep going

Zetr0 · 13 December 2007, 17:45

I would love to see more of these!!! anyone got any linkies or more pics?

Well take a look at this handheld

Shoonay · 13 December 2007, 18:06

That's one of those "handhelds" everybody had back in the days, around 1991 IIRC.

Dizzy · 13 December 2007, 18:14

I also found this link to a site about old computers in Eastern Europe

Atari 8-bit version:

Shoonay · 13 December 2007, 18:22

Didn't think there would be an even crappishist version than the one on that handheld...

Don't change the subject s2325, and tell me you had one too.

thor · 13 December 2007, 18:29

That handheld looks familiar, IIRC I played on this (but didn't had it). But it was definately before 1989. It's based on a popular (at least in East Germany) Russian comic.

It seems there was an arcade in East Gemany too, but I haven't seen this one in real

s2325 · 13 December 2007, 18:29

No, I had computers only, never console/handhelds.

Don't know about a comic (manga, lol) but there was certainly an cartoon showed in all (2 of'em

) tv stations! *THE* most popular thing at that time.

thor · 13 December 2007, 18:35

You're right, it were cartoon movies only

Zetr0 · 13 December 2007, 19:18

@Dreamcast Dizzy

Thank you for your efforts!!!

an interesting read.... i do hope these 3 chaps can make a go of the museum there about half way to collecting all the arcade machine produced by the military.

I know those old machines look decrepit and somewhat beaten but its easy to fall in love with them...

Dizzy · 13 December 2007, 19:24

Glad you like it, I find it interesting hearing about machines from "the other side"

maybe they could release some romz for mame

viddi · 13 December 2007, 20:49

Yeah, interesting. Thank you

NOB · 13 December 2007, 21:08
