1972 Champion Basket Game - チャンピオン バスケット ゲーム by 昭和遊園 (Showa Yuen)

Name: Champion Basket Game - チャンピオン バスケット ゲーム
Year: 1972
Company: 昭和遊園 (Showa Yuen)

Here is an advertisement with Champion Basket Game published in the 1973 machine directory, which came out at the end of 1972.

This machine is identical to a version of Sega's Basketball.  This model appears in the 1971 Sega pricelist.  Similar to チャンピオン・バスケットゲーム (Champion basket game) Showa Yuen seem to be putting their own name on other company's machines, and we can only speculate on the reasons.  These were sold for a number of years, so in my mind that rules out bootlegging.

Champion Basket Game also appears in the 1978 machine directory.
