The arcade games currently in my gameroom are all electromechanicals. They are as follows:

1) Kasco Ninja Gun (late 1970s). One minute, unlimited shots, to kill ninja warriors, including holographic ninjas during daylight and at sunset.
2) Sega Gun Fight (1969/70). Mannequin gunfighter puppets and cactus collapse when shot.
3) Sega Monster Gun (1972). I have 2 Youtube videos posted of this fun nylon pellet projectile shooter game. Only two examples of this game are known to exist. Here's a link:

4) Keeney Deluxe Texas Leaguer (1940s)
5) Chicago Coin Basketball Champ (1947). For sale, by the way. I have the cabinet stencils.
6) Genco Two Player "Super" Basketball (1954)

If you need reference photos for Ninja Gun's rifle, don't hesitate to send me a private message. I'll be glad to send you photos of my game. The first 3 photos below show my game, with the correct, original rifle.

Years ago, a collector on KLOV was able to retrofit a pistol (see 4th photo below) in lieu of a rifle on his Ninja Gun. A KLOV search of "Kasco Ninja Gun" should easily disclose that thread. On many rifle games, the rifle is vulnerable to damage by careless movers, no doubt.

Congratulations on acquiring this extraordinary game. Unlike many rifle games, Ninja Gun has longevity in a collection. I know a local collector who was considering the purchase of this game (or perhaps another missing the rifle), but passed, against my recommendation, because of the missing rifle. I'm glad to see that a pinsider, who will most certainly appreciate this game, was able to add it to his gameroom. I consider Ninja Gun to be the apex of its genre.

I'm excited about setting up my vintage late seventies/early eighties Kasco Star V, delivered a few days ago. Fortunately, my driveway is level. The delay is that I need to separate the halves before taking her into my basement gameroom.

Below is a video demonstration, taken by the former owner.

I am hoping that a fellow Pinsider can help me locate the missing "swirl-style" Bakelite globes (or something similar) which flank the marquee for my project 1953 Exhibit Supply Space Gun arcade. It's possible that a woodrail pinball machine utilized such globes.

Photos 2 & 3 show my game, which is missing the correct Bakelite globes.

Photos 4 & 5 are stock photos showing the space gun and the targets.

Photo 6 shows a friend's Space Gun which has the correct Bakelite globes, for reference.

The object is, of course, to shoot moving targets, in this case, 4 eerie glow-in-the-dark spacemen. When struck, the spaceman target is knocked down. Unlimited shots during the timed game which runs for 60 seconds. The targets are painted fluorescent colors and are illuminated by a black light. A bell audio feature is activated with successful shot.

I am very excited about the launch of the documentary film: Welcome to Arcadia. The scope of the subject matter is tremendous and the footage is unprecedented for a movie about our hobby. I'm one of the film's advisor.

Please feel free to share this link of the trailer on social media, if you like what you see and/or support the project. Thanks.

https://www.arcadiathemovie.com

The official launch is this Monday, April 13th.

The film's vibe is sort of MTV meets PBS. The music is going to be heavily influenced by the eighties, although not exclusively.

Fun times. Thank you for your support!

Bruce

Yes. The launch has been delayed to take advantage of some last-minute developments which enhance the project's reach. However, I expect the launch to occur very soon. Thanks for inquiring and for your support.

My son wore a Mario shirt for his high school class casual picture, proof of the adages: like father, like son and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. So proud!
