Photo Odds and Ends and Undocumented Games

Not much narrative this time, just some interesting photos I've found in various trade magazines:
 
May, 1978
 
 
Jews For Jesus was sued by Bally/Midway for infringement over this Pac-Man-themed religious tract.




From the 1978 JAA show. I like the Nintendo Shooting Trainer in the bottom row.
Courtesy Cash Box magazine.
 
 
 
A few scenes from "The Video Game" gameshow (short-lived follow-up to StarCade)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Some rare shots of a P.J. Pizzazz (Sega's answer to Pizza Time Theatre)
 
 
 
 
A few unlisted (or rarely listed) games:
 
 
UEP's Beam Shock
 
 
 

 
 
Here's another Kamikaze (I'm not sure who made this one - love that 'fro, though)
 

 
 
 
 
From Play Meter, January, 1976
 
 
 
Rare cabinet shot of Rock-Ola's Rocket Racer
 
 

Elcon's Diversions cabinet (1981)

From the 1975 MOA - Meadows Star Shooter video pinball game in a pinball cabinet. Never made it into production.
 

Another rare cabinet photo - Alstate's Battle Back




 
 
 
A couple of non-video games I found interesting:

From Play Meter, 6/15/80

From 1984

 


 
From April, 1976 - I don't think PSE ever released this one.
