Soviet arcade machines

Thought I should share this. Interesting stuff, even though it's in Russian:

For those of us who are still not overly confident when it comes to Slavic languages, there's a page in English explaining the thing: http://www.15kop.ru/en/

Haha, awesome. I've played Снайпер-2 actually, and seen Авторалли-М machine. Can't say they're very thrilling to play. :D The thing is, I don't remember needing any kopecs to play.
