Taito's Ice Cold Beer.
You have two leaf joysticks which only go up or down.
They place a small metal ball on a metal rail to start the games round.
You control the rails angle by pressing the joys up or down. The raises or lowers the
bars left or right side... which causes the ball to roll either left of right.
Your goal, is to raise the bar, guiding the ball into the proper hole that is lit up.
If your ball falls into any other hole, you will lose a life.
The first holes are easy cause they are near the bottom. Hole #10 is at the top,
and so you have a lot of holes to avoid to get there.
The game is very difficult at first, because the ball moves very fast at the slightest
change in angles.. and most people tend to over-react... which makes things even
worse. heh
The pics shown of the other ICB are the new remake of the game by a different
company. However, the original is a much better looking game Imop.
There was also a version called Zeke's Peak... in which the artwork is different.
This was created because some locations didnt want to promote Beer to
children who might play the thing. heh

Not at all what I thought. Sorta the reverse of Pachinko, except way slower. Doesn't look like there is a great deal of accuracy between the controls and the bar mechanism.
