Presented by Medal Game Maniax:
“Looks like Sega wasn’t the only game in
town – in Tokyo.”
A Japanese “Amusement?”
Company named Sigma apparently was in full force on these.
Raymond Watts pointed me
to this very difficult to find site and the sites author “i-sonic” has
kindly given me permission to post use them
 
 
 
You can’t find anything
on Sigma, apparently they never heard of the web or Azure is quick on the
trigger and dumped their webpages after the take over. I guess that might
qualify as a “hostile takeover” – darn sure doesn’t do us any favors. It
would have been nice to have some additional photos to share…………….

Aruze Also
Buys Sigma
Aruze Corp. has
announced that it intends to acquire 4.35 million shares of Sigma Inc. for
1.68 billion yen, which would give it a 61.4% share in Sigma. Sigma
operates over 70 game arcades in Japan as well as manufacturing coin-op
gaming machines.
Aruze, which is
a large pachinko machine manufacturer, will purchase the stock from Sigma
President Katsuki Manabe and other top shareholders, with the deal due to
be complete by the end of February. Aruze also wants to buy 2.5 million new
shares for 950 million yen.
Aruze's goal is
use the profits from its pachinko machines to develop a new business
section operating amusement centers as a new source of earnings. It bought
Osaka-based game software developer SNK Corp. earlier this month.
