I played on a few including a football game as a kid...the pitch is a bit wonky though as it's made out of tin ;)

You live that way then? I go past on my way to Devon several times a year, and every time I see it I can't help but laugh - there's a big sign in the M6 that says 'Welcome to Wookey Hole'. Chewbacca in prison?

Post by: cyapps on October 07, 2009, 08:31:51 pm: I grew up around a lot of things from that era and I am only 26! My dad is a huge collector of gumball and peanut machines as well as antiques of all sorts and as such has acquired a few older arcade games such as a Chicago Coin Defender Machine Gun http://marvin3m.com/arcade/defend.htm, Sea Raider http://marvin3m.com/arcade/searaid.htm and a US Marshall shooting game http://www.pinrepair.com/arcade/usmarsh1.jpg as well as some other penny arcade games. I hope to get some time to take a look at some of these and maybe get them up and running someday. Even though I grew up with these in my basement I have yet to see if they work... They should fit quite nicely into a game room whenever we get the basement cleared out.
