    I remember a similar type of game in the early 70s that used a helicopter and it landed on Rome, Paris, etc ...

    This is so cool! If I ever won the lottery, I'd have a house stuffed full of these electromechanical games. Cheers!

    Interesting and unique game for sure! Happy I got to play most of these rare games as a kid on location, and yes, I still remember how most of them played! Thanks Again Clay. 🤠

    A neat game for its time. Thanks for showing both the guts and a run through in play.
    What you called a stepper motor looked to me like an AC synchronous motor. I think steppers weren't even a twinkle in an investor's eye at that time. 😉 Featured heavily, as expected, were numerous relays to accomplish the switching functions.

    i love these old gems. There was a top-down jet attacker game I used to play in the late 70s over a rolling map full of SAM launchers and other tasty targets inside a dark dome with an illuminated playfield, it gave me much more of a sense of immersion then the video games of the time. I wish I remembered the name.

    There they are. In the late 1960s and early 1970s I use to go to the big arcade at Santa Cruz Boardwalk. Today it's all video game and claw prize machines. I assumed all thegames I loved went to museums and collectors. Some of those games were more fun than some modern video games.

    Wired were the eyes of a horse of a jet pilot, one that smiled when he flew over the bay

    Great video, Clay. Thanks. I had the pleasure of playing a Motorama at the Miller and Miller auction in near Kitchener, Ontario last year. The innovations they were coming out with in the 50's still astounds me.

    The silver dimes going in that machine were worth something, unlike the garbage metal dimes today.

    I love seeing these old type games, and even better when they work and an expert player can figure it out! Thanks! Great video, I played these in NYC in the 70s (Penn Station?, Chinatown?). Ever play the game with a live chicken in it playing cards? Lol.

    Have you ever come accros a cabinet of a air combat game that used old ww2 gun camera movies. I only saw it once.

    I wonder if this was ever employed at British Airways as a training device?... 🙃

    Real planes will "bounce" too, if you don't land correctly. But in real aircraft, that is NOT a good thing.
