I remember this game from when I was 4 or 5. My memories of these electro mechanical games are so vague... it's more like the memory of a memory.... so I've been trying to find video footage of any of them.

It's really quite a thrill... and a bit freaky... seeing this video.

Thanks hugely for posting this.

You have brought back a 43 year old memory! I thought that I would never see this arcade game again! I spent countless hours and all my money playing this on Waikiki Beach in the summer of 1969.

pretty damn impressive for the time it was created. How much would one of these cost today given the condition of the machine You have there ?

That might be the coolest thing I have ever seen.

Honestly ive been researching machines lately. This is pretty cool to look at.

SteveBenway spoke true when he said that memories of electromechanical arcade games are oddly vague. Sometimes I swear I only imagined or dreamed of their existence. But they used to be everywhere - arcades, arena concourses, fairgrounds, truck stops...and they are genuine treasures.

Also I can't tell in the video but does your score Nixie tube work? Its awesome that this game has it to keep score!!

I just picked one of these up today! great classic game. Do you know where I can find a manual? I have the schematic but my manual is so water damaged it is useless and unreadable. If you have a scan, or know where to get one could you send me a message?

Thanks DK.

I've never played this game, but I remember seeing one still in operation in the early 80's in a 10 pin bowling place. This shows you can make video games without digital technology at all. This is very cleverly done.

These were equally popular in the uk at this time,i remember playing this in my younger days! What has happened to them now? i assume many were consigned to the scrapheap when video games came in the 1970s.some may even still be in storage in backrooms of arcades in a derelict state their future uncertain.Now these machines are highly sought after by collectors and this is on my all time wish list of items i would like to have!
