did I ever mention I made a super-edit of a #pachinko themed porn?
There is actually a bunch of porn in this whole thread, but all the others are "roman porno" or what we used to call "blue movies".

exploring the arcade in 1992-01 TVムック故郷は欧州　意外なパチンコ進化論 / TV Mook Mystery Journey: Surprising theory of pachinko evolution

This was an incredible amount of work. When someone says "prewar game", we have to specify WW2, WW1, Russo-Japanese war... because some of these machines go into the 19th century.
The translated documentary is also linked.
