CR Urusei Yatsura CR Urusei Yatsura CR うる星やつら
Release Date: December 2001
Published by Okumoto, this is a pachinko game, similiar to pinball games in the west, though with a much more vertically oriented set-up. The object of pachinko games is to capture as many steel balls as possible which can be redeemed for prizes. Because gambling for money is not technically legal in Japan, the balls are exchanged for things like shampoo or tokens inside the pachinko hall, and then these cheap prizes can be exchanged at a booth outside the hall for some monetary value. |

Pachislot Urusei Yatsura Pachisuro Urusei Yatsura パチスロうる星やつら
Release Date: May 2007
Pachislot games have very little in common with traditional pachinko machines, instead they are essentially slot machines. Their popularity stems from the skill factor that is incorporated. Pulling the arm starts the reels spinning, but there is a button under each reel to control when it stops. There are video screens built into the cabinet as well that prompt the player with increased payouts and other teases that will get them to continue playing. |
