> What's that 1st game on the left? See who can get high score on a grinder/buffer?
I think it's a strength test, you pull on the handle and get scored based on how hard you pull. It's supposed to be a turnip, based on some Russian folk tale about pulling a turnip out of the ground. The have the same machine at the arcade museum in Moscow, there was a little more about it in the article here: http://35summers.org/2010/01/05/the-museum-of-soviet-video-games/
Come to think of it, I recognize most of those games from the Moscow museum, which makes me think that was probably pretty much all they had. It's kind of sad, SovietMAME would only have to support about 15 or 20 ROM sets.
