Rare East German Arcade Game Unearthed

Posted by michael on Tuesday July 13, 2004 @07:43AM from the capitalistic-tendencies dept.

Lancey writes "While hunting for work stuff I found this press release about an old Soviet games machine, apparently there are only three surviving units from a production of 1500 - most of them were destroyed after the Berlin wall came down.

The games play you! Hmmmmmmmm.... I want to play Hare and Wolf it looks like a widescreen edition of Pac-Man... Also, this pretty intresting, one of games is Ms. Pac-Man... However, it's in a Pac-Man cabinet and the game is called 'Pac-Gal'. Early beta perhaps?
