After I saw Elvana's post

I went to the 1994 archive of Joypolis (there) and found a video, without any article.

As more and more links seems to be dead as soon as we want to share them, I downloaded the video, cause I dont want to talk about thing without having anything to show. I went back to check the website few hours later : the 1994 archive was gone. 

I'll let you watch it, but I have several comments to make, I'll post them tommorow morning I guess (I live in France so we are not on the same time slot I guess) 

(Note before I go to bed : I don't believe it's Ito's Pinball BUT there is something strange with this footage, including the sound !!!)

oh this is so chilling, there's definitely something in there...amazing find

(also im in the uk so at least there's one other person in the same timeslot :p)

Okay, I'm at work, I'm in the break room, and I'm taking five minutes to write down what I was thinking yesterday after finding this video:

TEXT

- First, the text cropped at the top of the screen. I tried to figure out what letters it was, and I found : 

H or M / I or T / O or S / again I or T / again S or O / maybe an M ? (but the second word seems to have an M and doesn't look like it / an O a C or a G / 

for the second word : Definitly an F (very far from the other letters) / I or T / E or L / M / S or O

- No idea what the time and "AR 34" stands for

VIDEO

- I don't understand why the video is so low quality, even for 1994 video (but i'm not an expert) - maybe a really amateur footage ? with an old camcorder

- the pinball doesn't look like the pinballs describedby you and several testimonies (no spiral involved, no strange design) BUT what caught my attention was the sound

SOUND

- someone is speaking. Not sure if it's american or japanese -> is there anyone that could confirm ?

- This kind of relaxing music playing in the background doesn't seem to fit with the atmosphere described at Joypolis

- the sound of the flipper could match the space Invaders pinball machine 1980 vfx (have to confirm this soon)

- in the end the intonation of what seems to be a girl talking sounds very japanese to me (but again not a specialist in japanese language)

Well, I really have to go. I'm running late, and my coworkers keep saying I seem distracted. I almost caused a pretty serious accident, and I really don't want to get in trouble with the boss.
