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.
