## Notes

1. ↑ SEGA started as Service Game Japan, and they imported juke boxes at first.
2. ↑ SEGA sells claw crane consoles named UFO Catcher. Uma Musume ones are the parody of them. They were released in 1985, and came into a fashion in the early 1990s. It was at the same time of the second racehorsing boom.
3. ↑ Former Sammy. It formed a merger with SEGA in 2003.
