Great video. Clever upgrades. I miss my Bonanza!

I love these gun shooter videos on these old 70s games. I remember these near the pinball machines. I was never any good at them, but they were fun to shoot at. I recall the haunted house one the most and maybe one with the mafia??

I have always loved 70s EM rifle games. Chuck E. Cheese had Ninja Gun in the 80s and 90s. It had lighted ninjas that would go across the screen, moving cutout ninja and a day/night cycle. It is probably the best/complex shooting EM games I have ever seen! That CEC opened in 83, not sure how they acquired a 10 year old game.

Clay is a legend...

Hack: When you pull the trigger, shake the rifle a tiny bit. The object is to get the stylus to touch the contact. My best friend had one in his pizza shop many years ago.

Very cool..!

You're using part of a transistor as a diode? It'll work but I've never seen that before. That spring unit is like kicking a tank reverb :)

So, I guess this was the world's first licensed video game?

Here's a vintage electro mechanical arcade game machine. It's about the wild west. 😜

Cool

What does the capacitors do to the relays that are turning on/off the amplify spring reverb for gunshots and mine explosions? relay#1 has a 470uf capacitor and relay#2 has a 1000uf capacitor

thank you. I'm curious if the mechanical gun & cave sounds still work? I kind of love the idea of using the EM soundmakers
