Here's another train-themed pachinko machine if you're interested. The name of this one is "Yume no Chotokkyuu" and is also a very good machine.

As for Densha De Go, don't give up, I actually saw a few in a parlor this year and, of course, had to play it for the memories.

A little bump to this thread, it looks like at least the cell is available on YJA:

Bump again, it looks like Sankyo's going to release a Version 2:

Oooh, Densha De Go 2. It's about time, the first one was really popular in its time.

[snake1111]

Not necessarily, I saw news on DDG2 a couple of months ago during my 'vacation'.

Hi Densha, I have the SP model (city street scene with the Sankyo building on the East side). It's a 5&10&15. This one came from Game Room Cabinets and I paid a pretty good buck for it because no one had any of these for sale.

Mr. Bryce from GRC made some adjustments to the nails so the start pocket is easier to hit. More spheres also seem to find their way into the other payout pockets too. The shooter tray stays pretty full and the reels are spinning most of the time.

It's a fun machine. The music is upbeat and reminiscent of an urban commuter train. There are some train sound effects thrown in too.

Ms. Conductor Girl, with her blonde hair and doe eyes, makes frequent appearances.

The reaches are pretty comical. One shows a lady hanging out the train window and her hub is running along the platform trying to hand her a stack of boxes. If she gets the boxes, it's fever time.

Another reach has a bookish looking fellow trying to squeeze himself into a packed car as the doors are closing. If he stays inside the car, fever.

The last reach shows the train pulling up to a station platform. As the train slows down, a marker comes into view. If the train stops at the marker, f-e-v-e-r.

During the fever round, the music is a rather catchy pop song complete with a vocalist. While the music plays, the characters from the reach sequences line up and dance on the screen.

It's a nice looking machine. I liked the SP because I think the playfield is more interesting than the others.

Since you like trains, you probably wouldn't be bored with it. The videos are repetitive but they're done in such a way that they're not boring. There are subtle things that happen from time to time that keeps it interesting.

Most of what I've written is from memory. If there's anything specific you'd like to know, I'll try to get an answer for you.

Have fun,
-TW

One shows a lady hanging out the train window and her hub is running along the platform trying to hand her a stack of boxes. If she gets the boxes, it's fever time.

That's actually not her husband, it's a station attendant who is selling "obento" (boxed lunches) and he's trying to make it to the train to sell her one before the train leaves. I used to hate that reach because it's got the lowest odds of winning among all the super reaches.

Anyway, not too important but I thought you might like to know.

I for one love these little tidbits even though I don't own this machine. I find it interesting when our simple perception of what we are seeing translates into the reality of what we are seeing.

Thanks Rupan for all the insight you bring to our group!
