I'm in a book! Specifically @lostincult.co.uk's fab Arcade Adventures anthology. I interviewed the founders of New York's Barcade®, Bury's Arcade Club and Melbourne's Bartronica about how arcade bars keep the past, and some particularly venerable cabinets, alive.

AMOA 2001 was also the North American debut (and probably ONLY sighting) of Boong-Ga Boong-Ga and thankfully I got proof. I did not try it. Details in ALT caption.
Boong-Ga Boong-Ga (Korean: 붕가 붕가, Japanese: 開ウン!ケダモノ占い), sometimes advertised in English as Spank 'em, is an arcade game developed by a South Korean company, Taff System. It is the first arcade game to simulate kanchō—a popular prank in Japan and Korea where the victim is poked with two fingers in the anus unbeknownst to the victim. ... While an initial contract was made for distribution of 200 units in Japan, only 5 units were ever actually distributed in the country. [Source: Wikipedia]

Interestingly, this version has a large "whack-a-mole" hammer attached to it. Was the game adapted for the US by making players spank the ass instead of poking it with your finger? Hmm.

just remembered that when i lived in Brixton in 2012 there was a fabric shop on Electric Avenue that used to be an arcade and it still had a Sega/Sonic the Hedgehog carpet
photo of the interior of a shop where a strip of floor between piles of rolls of fabric and pallets against a wall with fabric rolls stood on them reveals a gray carpet decorated with small white, red, black, and blue triangles and a big alternating motif of the Sega logo and Sonic the Hedgehog

Britain in the mid-1930s does not seem like a time or place of leisure innovation with the circumstances of war in Europe, yet it proved a fertile ground for the evolution of #arcade games. Today we'll look at one of the most fascinating games from this period: Spotlight Golf!
