Heh, I didn't see it the first time, so I'm glad you dredged it back up.  Definitely an interesting read.  The funniest part to me was the basketball game that I know I played in an amusement park at some time in my youth.  Definitely a cool piece of engineering, but I wonder if it was really a soviet game, and if not, why it was in the collection.  Did that one look familiar to anyone else?

I've seen something like it.  Prob. just the russian version/copy.  I mean, they didn't invent Bubble Hockey either but they have them there. :)

Yeah, SEGA invented that in the 70's.  But the basketball game got some attention in the article, whereas the bubble hockey game didn't.  It also seems identical to the one I remember, other than the color scheme.  Makes one wonder how many of the "soviet" games were just machines made elsewhere and re-dressed /  re-marketed inside through a soviet company.
