SG-1000のチャチャチャってセガフリッパー？

The exact flyer number is SPC-83007.

The game says チャチャチャ (Chachacha)
It looks like a flipper game.

The games surrounding it are Orguss (G-1015) and Pop Flamer (G-1019)
Sega Flipper is G-1018, so I suppose Chachacha became Sega Flipper?

Neat! Quite possibly you are already aware, but Cha-cha-cha was also an actual Sega pinball machine from ca. 1978, and the SG-1000 "Cha-cha-cha" advertising appears to be using a photograph of its playfield — compare with picture in the gallery here: https://pinside.com/pinball/archive/cha-cha-cha/gallery (from https://pinside.com/pinball/archive/cha-cha-cha ). The physical table's advertising describes it as a "wide-type CPU flipper" and shows a fairly different layout, so maybe the name change reflects the no-longer-matching table layout?

*edit:* also the SG-1000 game was released shortly after Yello's 1982 "Pinball Cha Cha"; maybe they wanted to avoid confusion?

Didn't know any of that, thanks for your post!

I guess cha cha is Japanese onomatopoeia for a pinball game?
