On the BingoButch forum, Cayt Pea has been filling in some of the blanks on the Bingos from Japan

And the best detail he shares is the release dates of the games from Sigma

Which are not only interesting, but it helps us better understand this Parts Catalog I stumbled across`

I always wondered “why” this manual covered (9) different machines, but now the answer is obvious`

If you look closely at the text right below the cabinet of Queen of the Knight, it reads:

CAT NO. JAN 30, 1986 H.S.

And naturally, that means that all of the Bingos were finished by that date`…dah`

So here are the dates of the games as listed on Eremeka Arcades

1981 Circus Circus - サーカス・サーカス by シグマ (Sigma)

Circus-Circus, the very first Bingo coming out while Bally was still trying to market in Japan

1984 Atlantis - アトランティス by シグマ (Sigma)

1985 Andromeda by シグマ (Sigma)

1985 Artemis - アルテミス by シグマ (Sigma)

1985 Cherokee Rose - チェロキーローズ by シグマ (Sigma)

1985 El Dorado - エルドラド by シグマ (Sigma)

1985 Kasandra - カサンドラ by シグマ (Sigma)

1985 Queen of the Knight -クインオブザナイト by シグマ (Sigma)

1985 Rebecca - レベッカ by シグマ (Sigma)

1985 Lady-X - レディ・エックス by シグマ (Sigma)

The nine fantasy Bingos coming next, all before 1986 and the Parts Catalog

1986 Moon Light [MENTION ONLY] by シグマ (Sigma)

1986 Pin-Up Girls - ピンナップガールズ by シグマ (Sigma)

1987 Pastel Shower by シグマ (Sigma)

Followed by three additional Magic Screen games, with fanciful themes

1987 Avenue by シグマ (Sigma)

1989 Sea Island 89 [MENTION ONLY] by シグマ (Sigma)

And last, the two “CRT” based Bingos that likely never made it to Sales

_ So, Japan was very busy`…Cool _

And they must have felt the (9) had promise and warranted the release of a Parts Catalog

Nice`….Thank you Cayt

The release dates Cayt shares are from Caitlyn’s website for Eremeka Arcades
