Dream Palace (ドリームパレス) is a crane game initially released by Sega in early 1992.
Dream Palace is an eight-player UFO Catcher, similar to the one (UFO Catcher Mini), two (New UFO Catcher) and four (Dream Catcher) player crane games Sega were producing in the early 1990s. The same rules apply as with all UFO Catchers, however, accommodating eight players leads to Dream Palace being a very large cabinet, ill-suited for smaller venues. The unit consists of eight separate single player UFO Catchers on a rotating carousel-styled platform. In this early model, the mechanism to raise/lower the claw is driven by compressed air, rather than the mechanical parts used in later versions. The powerful pneumatic system tends to slam the claw down very hard, causing excessive wear and tear on the machine, and the air lines malfunction frequently.
