1979 Piccadilly Fever - ピカデリーフィーバー by レジャック (Leijac) & コナミ工 (Konami)


Name: Piccadilly Fever - ピカデリーフィーバー
Year: 1979
Company: レジャック (Leijac) & コナミ工 (Konami)

Piccadilly Fever is a cocktail table entry into the long-standing Piccadilly series.  Our database currently has 25 machines with Piccadilly in their title.

Starting at 3:12 in this video, you can see Piccadilly Fever in action:

In the video they show us the maker's plaque:
TAN # 91-11-11723

I find it interesting that the game is labelled as both by レジャック (Leijac) & コナミ工 (Konami) here, so I have included both companies in this entry.  I am unsure if Leijac is a brand for Konami, or still a separate legal entity.

  1. Hello Caitlyn,
    I wrote an article about Leijac on the GDRI site a long time ago. Unfortunately, the article still remain in the WIP section. https://gdri.smspower.org/wiki/index.php/Leijac

    1. Thank you, I have added your link to my Company Notes page: https://earlyarcadesjapan.blogspot.com/2022/03/notes.html
      Does the GDRI site contain writeups on other companies that were part of the electromechanical wave? I'm hoping to find much more details on Sankyo and Satomi etc, but I'm assuming that place only tracks companies making videogames?

    2. Unfortunately, that website only focuses on video games. It's unlikely that there is any information on EM games.

    3. sometimes the company history can be useful enough. I'm surprised Sigma isn't listed on that site.
