Post by: mznb1u on September 15, 2011, 11:55:44 pm
Just saw this on Yahoo!  I would love to have one of those "Donkey Bray Lifter" games.

I really like the Target Skill game it reminds me of when I was a kid in  72' they had the " MARX Electro Shot Shooting Gallery"  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCiL1vqe3wU remember that one Tim?

Also, a cool place that has  allot of these old style games  to check out in the metro Detroit area is Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum  http://marvin3m.com/

I had an Electro Shot Shooting Gallery.  It was my favorite toy.  Now I have a Bally Shooting Gallery, it also shoots balls, but no rapid fire machine gun.

I actually bought a Marx ESSG, when my kids were small, off of Ebay.  We used that game until the motor crapped out.  A few years ago Marx released a remake, but not as cool.

Thanks for sharing that link.  I have the Ballyhoo pinball machine - it's great fun.  Since procuring it, I have found myself very drawn to the non-electrical coin op games.  There sure are some neat ones out there!
