I've spent a small amount of time trying to find references to this game, but haven't been successful yet - outside of one thread on RGVAC.

Anyone know anything about this game? It sounds like it may not be a vid, maybe something closer to a pinball...

Neither actually.

It's a pretty cool shooting game. I worked for a guy not too long
ago but sadly the mall his arcade was in was razed and I don't know what
became of the game when he closed up.

The machine was about 6 feet long. The bottom was wood and the
top had a plexiglass enclosure. An air gun was mounted on a base
and the front of the plexi enclosure had a slide thing around the gun.

The gun fired 1/2" delrin balls (powered by air compressor).

The back of the game had a revolving wheel with hinge mounted targets.
If you hit the target, it knocked it over and registered a score.

It was redemption piece that gave out tickets.

I've attached a crude drawing but don't expect much from it.

It was a lot of fun but the damn gun loader was always jamming.

Thanks John for the info, and the illustration - it gets the point across.

I wondered if it might be a redemption game.

It would be cool to see some photos of the game, if anyone has any.
 
Couple of pix I found from the old web site I did for him.

Unfortunately no direct pic of the machine but you get a
general idea of what it looked like.
