1972 Safari - サファリー by タイトー (Taito)


Name: Safari - サファリー
Year: 1972
Company: タイトー (Taito)

In the 40th Anniversary Taito book there is a list of machines, sorted by date.  the list from 1972 includes Safari, but for the longest time I was unable to find any reference to Safari existing.  For a while, I thought it was a reference to Taito's Safari Rifle Range, but I was wrong.   Thank you to KT2 for your assistance.

mention of: サファリー (Safari)


In 1977 Taito would release a videogame called Safari.  Note that it uses the same side-art, but a number of games from that era also used the exact same side art.

In 1980 Taito would release a roulette game called Safari:

That is probably too many games of the same name for one company.  :)
