4) The Internet Archive has copies of Game Machine Magazine, a twice-monthly Japanese magazine and newsletter about amusement devices and arcades, dating from 1974 to 2002. Some really great covers in there!

Just some retro arcade games I was really happy to spot here, especially the bar top ones. And yet I still didn’t didn’t actually put in any coins, it was just fun to walk around and gawk

the real highlight here for arcade nerds is the 978 遊戯機械総合年鑑 (1978 Amusement Machine Comprehensive Yearbook)
this is a catalogue of arcade games for operators to purchase.
The other huge offering is a wonderful 288 page arcade magazine, one of a handful a friend and I purchased together: The Amusement Industry (アミューズメント産業) - Vol. 22 No. 1 January 1993

more goodness up for the #retroarcade nerds.
I've put up scans for most of the Gremlin/Sega arcade games.
I also purchased 3 rare Japanese game flyers, from about 1970, 1975, and 1985!

Paid silly money for 2 old pachinko documentaries on VHS. Having them shipped from Japan to Canada and then I hope to digitally preserve them.
Any advice in regards to VHS preservation / digitization?

Also after I digitize them they will be for sale, so if you're a rare VHS/pachinko/arcade collector, let me know if you're interested.

At some point I need to do a #retroarcade 'iceberg of obscurity' graphic. Willing to field suggestions from #arcade nerds.
Here are the books I had out on my desk... The Spanish pinball, coin machine history, and the British arcades ones are all new arrivals
