the 85 Directory of Amusement Machines & Amusement Park Equipment [遊戯機械総合年鑑] is up! Don't you want to know what arcades & amusement parks were buying in 1985 Japan? of course you do, that was a dumb question. I feel shame.

If anyone would be interested in helping transcribe the (mostly Japanese) tables of contents from my scans, please reach out/let me know, thank you! 💛
