Wow. Memories. I was 6 years old, and always too scared to play this myself, but it fascinated me all the same.

I remember playing this at Dorney Park Allentown, Pa in the mid 80s. My parent would get so upset, they played to get into the park and all I wanted to do was hang out in the arcade the whole time. Game freaked me out, I thought the voice was real and was like the arcade attendant hiding somewhere watching me play using a microphone or something! I am almost certain that the cowboy was dressed in all black on the version I played. Ill never forget that stiff armed draw!

I remember marshalls arcade , clacton, uk having one of these. People were drawn to the machine and it generated a lovely group spirit among strangers.

Holy cow, this game looks awesome!

I remember playing this at OpryLand as a kid back in the early 80's. I remember sometimes if you missed, he said, "Where the hell did that one go?"

[@ryanbarker5217]

it had to be in the 70's when i played a similar version, pretty sure it was in some restaurant type place in the west when we went on vacation. i can see it scaring other kids my age, but i was always fascinated by them.

I can hold off on the Zoltar, this is just great. I think I saw one of these on the NJ boardwalk as a kid near Atlantic City. Theres also that cool Brain one.

Oh my gosh! Lump in throat remembering playing this in the arcades!! Im thinking 70s but im not sure maybe 80s??

[@Tomsonic41]

I remember the American Adventure theme park having one of these in the 1980s. I also remember it being replaced by a newer version that I think was all solid-state rather than using a cassette tape for the speech. Anyone know what that was called?

[@MikeGervasi]

This was fantastic. Clever how they accomplished everything. Lots of stuff on that could be upgraded to less mechanical/wear parts now. I think at a minimum I would remote the compressor and extend the connections to reduce the noise.

[@REpsycho]

great video! im suprised you could find one of these, there pretty rare i hear.

[@js012a]

What was the name of that arcade game in the late 70's where you stood in front of a full height projection screen and (like this game) had a shootout with cowboys? The difference being that you were actually watching a film but interacting with it.

[@unorthdoxcleric6953]

Isn't he suppossed to drop his head

[@finstersrc30]

Once again Clay thanks for a another Great EM video! Your place would be my Disney World. Does he say "Smart Ass"? LOL

[@SoraRoxasdude1]

How does it know when the cowboy has "shot" at you? Does it rely on the cylinder's airflow being a fixed value?

[@soulfortheweekend9366]

I used to work there , that could well have been assembled by me . We akdo used to make a female gun slinger called calamity jane .

[@Thebandboxman]

Do you have any more info on the Calamity Jane version or where I can buy one.
