We have now surpassed 4000 machines. We reached the 3000 mark just under a year ago.
The site now exclusively uses the Search Interface.
I have a included an option "写真のないマシンも含めます (Include machines without a photograph)". By default we will not show the "Mention Only" entries, but it can be very useful to check this box when doing research. I recommend advanced users select this option. Accessible from the front page, there is also an option to only see the Machines With No Picture.
The main page also now has a link for machines without any year // 年のないマシ. You can expand that and add machines with only a decade given. As well all machines without a solid year attached.
My hope is that people will review these and send information to fill in the gaps.

A number of new companies have been added to the Company search. Japan Amusement Park Equipment, Meisho, Kakizaki Keiki, Japan Vending Machine, Kato, Togo, Tasko, Kurita Giken, Uko, etc plus company groups for European Companies, USA Companies, Asian Companies.
I will soon be including a Japanese version of the Tags. While I can utilize machine translation, there are probably many arcade-specific terms it would get wrong. If you would be able to properly translate the tags, please send me an email.
Reminder that there is a "Toggle Tags" button at the top of the search results. You can use this to streamline your browsing experience.
I added an "arcade history" tag for items that act as signposts of the earliest arcade developments and themes.
Other new tags of note:
- air hockey, shuffle board, foosball, billiards is now its own tag
- bowling, ball rolling, skee ball is now its own tag
- appearance ~ cocktail tables
- gambling ~ spinning discs
- physical ~ button slamming
- physical ~ ball toss, carnival
- physical ~ spinner/roller
- theme ~ hunting
