SEGA EM Arcade Games

[dj10555]

I collect Sega EM arcade games such as the ones found on http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=838.
Does anyone remember these? I would be interested in any parts for these games if anyone has them.

Hello and welcome.
I don't have any spares, I'm afraid, but thanks for posting the link to the System 16 Arcade Museum
Definitely worthy of a place on the Archive links page.
Some great pictures - I didn't realize what a diverse assortment of arcade games Sega made. Many would appear to have been original concepts although a few are clones or developments of other manufacturers' designs.
I remember playing the futuristic multiplayer Basketball on a French camp-site as a kid - very entertaining and I now own one (awaiting restoration...)
The Mini Futbol is a copy of Albert Leslie Cane's Minisoccer of 1969 (see Patents) and was presumably made under licence. The Soccer is a clone of Alfred Crompton's Star Soccer of 1967 (see Patents).

Full flyers for many of these games can be seen at Marvin's Marvellous Mechanical Museum
The Jumbo and Speedway can be seen working here.

I remember working on a "Killer Shark" machine - I worked at a fairground when I was a student. I thought it was an ingenious mechanism. The shark images were screened around the edge of a perspex disk that was turned at about 5 frames a second by a Geneva mechanism, then there were two mirrors at right angles that rocked slowly back and forth to move the image around on the screen. I didn't delve deeply enough to find out how the spear gun detected the image.

I have a couple of Sega EM arcade games but they are difficult to find. I do have a lead on a Killer Shark game which I am hoping to try and get. Thanks for the information on the patents. I did not realise these were originally made by other companies.

Thought I would revisit a very old post! Just wondering if anyone has come across any Sega EM arcade games?

I have a Sega punching bag. And will be picking up a moto polo soon. Not sure if it's a
Keeper or not

Dan, so, how many machines haven't been keepers then?!

Anything newer than 1966 has to be pretty special to make the grade these days ;)

That system16 page is super, thanks! It's missing a few IIRC, but whatever. Still good.

I've reinstated the System16 site to Archive/Links.
