I wanted to put this stub article up as a companion to 1979 テレコンカラー太陽 Challenge Ball (Telecon color sun Challenge Ball) by 太陽電子 (Taiyo Denshi — Electron) to showcase more how the rise of videogames influenced arrangeball.

| 1980-01 Play Graph プレイグラフ |
And focusing on just the game screens:
 |
| 1) idle message 2) arrange ball screen 3) game start screen 4) Invaders |
This machine has a joystick at the bottom-left of the machine and a Shoot button on the right. The 1979 Telecon only had the single button.
