Posted by simoniker on from the if-you-like-pat-sajak dept.

Thanks to GameSpot for its article discussing the latest Japanese arcade games showcased at the AOU 2004 show in Tokyo, with a particular highlight, as well as an example of building a play experience unique to an arcade, being Sega's Quiz Show, which "gives the player the experience of being a contestant on an American TV quiz show." The Japanese page for the game has pictures of the massive arcade cabinet, which has players "sitting behind a colorful table, just like a real quiz show", and allows each contestant to answer trivia questions which are "randomly selected by a physical, spinning wheel that's attached to the game booth."
