'..riot gun'

The old 'ARCADE AMUSEMENTS' ("the West’s oldest amusement arcade..") in Manitou Springs,Colorado has been a cornerstone of childhood and the whole town of Manitou is pretty much the last place i can relax and be myself around the Southern Colorado area. I grew up with the arcade which is a work of art within itself as well as a history of arcade games ranging thru' most of the 20th century.. the 1920s-1990s and beyond. With that..it also serves as an interactive museum!! Not to oddly enough..i am home there..

One lonely night in late August of 2004 .. i snapped some odd pix here and there around the arcade..

.this is an older 1963 Chicago Coin 'Riot Gun' .. this is the upper panel of the game for the score ..you can shoot a 'riffle' at robbers who are stealin' from the bank.. and you get higher in rank as a cop .. somthin' outta Dick Tracy....it's just a game !!

..YAh ..SEE.. YAH SEE..YAH YAH,COPPAH..YAH YAH !!
