Time for my Friday cabinet of curiosities, where I share fun and interesting links that caught my attention this week.

Today: retro arcades, nostalgia from the future, oral histories of old software, and more ✨

  1. A long, detailed thread about arcades, pinball, and pachinko machines in (mostly) Japanese Showa-era (1930s-1970s) movies, with accompanying blog posts https://mastodon.social/@cpi/110198558398621807

thread of my posts, starting with my latest:
exploring the arcade in the 1978 movie 鬼畜 / Kichiku (The Demon)

each blog entry features an arcade in a movie (mostly from ) and tries to identify all of the machines.
This is an exceptionally difficult task because:

  1. I'm focused on movies from the 1930s-1970s
  2. Japanese arcade machines were not well documented until I got fed up and started my eremeka site

exploring the arcade in 1992-01 TVムック故郷は欧州 意外なパチンコ進化論 / TV Mook Mystery Journey: Surprising theory of pachinko evolution
https://pinballnovice.blogspot.com/2023/10/exploring-arcade-in-1992-01-tv-tv-mook.html

This was an incredible amount of work. When someone says "prewar game", we have to specify WW2, WW1, Russo-Japanese war... because some of these machines go into the 19th century.
The translated documentary is also linked.
