Star Soccer - スター・サッカー by クロンプトン (Crompton) & セガ (Sega)



Name: Star Soccer - スター・サッカー
Year: 1967, 1970
Company: クロンプトン (Crompton) & セガ (Sega)


Star Soccer is made by Crompton, from the UK.  I am told it was first made in 1967.  The earliest appearance of Star Soccer in Japanese documents is the 1972 machine directory.  I have been informed that Sega initially began distributing it in Japan in 1970: there is apparently a document for converting it to play using Japanese yen that is dated from 1970.

The 1972 and 1973 directories list this game as being provided by セガ (Sega).  I do not know if Sega added their logo, but it is safe to assume they were distributing it in Japan.

On many Japanese games, Soccer is written as Socker
