The machines are widespread in establishments called "pachinko parlors", which also often feature a number of slot machines. Pachinko parlors share the reputation of slot machine dens and casinos the world over - garish decoration; over-the-top architecture; a low-hanging haze of cigarette smoke; the constant din of the machines, music, and announcements; and flashing lights. Modern pachinko machines are highly customizable, keeping enthusiasts continuously entertained.
Because gambling for cash is illegal in Japan and Taiwan, balls won cannot be exchanged directly for cash in the parlor. Instead, the balls are exchanged for token prizes, which can then be taken outside and traded in for cash at a business that is nominally separate from the parlor, and may be run by organized crime (yakuza).
There are many types of pachinko machines and parlor regulations, but most of them conform to a similar style of play. In order to play pachinko, players can buy metal balls by inserting either cash, a pre-paid card, or their member's card directly into the machine they want to use. At parlors offering an exchange rate of 4 yen per ball, 1000 yen will get you 250 balls. These balls are then shot into the machine from a ball tray with the purpose of attempting to win more balls. The pachinko machine has a digital slot machine on a large screen in the center of its layout, and the objective here is to get 3 numbers or symbols in a row for a jackpot.

Space is no longer the final frontier. Suddenly Earth is only a short space-warp away from the most hostile aliens in the galaxy. The United Earth Defences are overwhelmed, but one pilot, James Bryant, remains trapped behind enemy lines, facing the might of an unknown alien fleet.
With ten levels of combat, which develop in both linear and non-linear ways, the way ahead is edgily unpredictable. Motherships come out of nowhere, missiles bounce off their targets, and however much you pitch and roll your craft to escape, the pressure never lets up. The graphics are epic in scale, with planet-based combat sequences and massive enemy ships that threaten to crush your screen.
