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".

https://pinballnovice.blogspot.com/2023/10/exploring-arcade-in-1992-01-tv-tv-mook.html

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.
