MAMEWorld Forums - News - Re: Flyer Fever Update

Greatest flyer update for this year......imo..speaking for the older generation arcade gamers that were playing arcade games during 1970s decade.

Nice to now know what some of these 1970s Sega games looked like.

Last Inning - Sega (1975)

Super Break Open - Sega (1978)

Sparkling Corner - Sega (1976)

I was always questioning if Sparkling Corner was actually a video arcade game. After reading the flyer that shows the description "tv" printed on flyer, it does confirm that Sparkling Corner is a video game.

Stardust - Irem (1978) [Play Table series]

A game play clone style similar to Ramtek's Clean Sweep.

As for early Nintendo video games and viewing the two flyers, I now believe Block Fever may have been Nintendo's first video game instead of Computer Othello.

Block Fever - Nintendo (1978)

Computer Othello - Nintendo (1978)

Fortress - Sega (1979) [Developed by Gremlin Industries]

A great flyer find since it shows what the game play is supposed to consist of. Player defends a fort against galleon ships. If the flyer year is correct, Fortress was likely another vicdual type hardware game.

Hello Gateball - Data East DECO (1984) [DECO Cassette System]

The flyer shows title as Hellow Gateball.....iirc there was some long ago thread (maybe back in 2004 or 2005) on MAMEWorld forum (now disappeared) of whether there was a mistranslation or mispelling on the Japanese flyer where the flyer was meant to have the word 'Yellow Gateball' instead. I don't recall how the thread ended. Some folks said Yellow and others stated it as "Hello"

Good to see better flyer scans instead of the old Taito Japan thumbnail size flyer images from 15 years ago.

Avenger
Block
Flying Fortress
Front Line

This flyer entry really should be T.T. Block because T.T. (table top) is used for game title description of other Taito tabletop/cocktail table games.

Block - Taito (1977)
