The Vectorbeam Scramble flyer find is a great find.

I wonder if Westlake used Meadows pcbs or Fun Games pcbs for their own cocktail table product since both Meadows and Fun Games probably already had their products on the market.

> Hustle the Gremlin girl for a $100 bill!
Skip Hustle and go with ‘Bump n Grind’ instead like Benny Hill would have done. ![](//www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tomato.gif)

For the challenge, I would choose Gremlin’s wall game of Trap Shoot instead. That’s where the real action happens.
off topic: The advertisement mentions June 1977. Going by memory trip road, I moved onward from elementary and on to junior high for grades 7 to freshman years. On the first day of junior high beginning level band practice, the band director had indicated I would be in Intermediate band when junior would begin on first day of school year 1977-1978. And within first week of school got promoted to the Big Leagues of advanced band and would be 1 of 2 members of the marching band as 7th graders that year. I played tenor drum that year and snare drum the following 2 years.
Years 1977 to 1979 were damn great years for coinop scene because Knott’s had Buffalo Nickel arcade while Disneyland had Starcade built as part of Space Mountain. I played the various Nintendo film reel games, Exidy Circus, PSE Desert Patrol, Atari Canyon Bomber, Gremlin Depth Charge and Gremlin Frogs. Loads of memorable games that I enjoyed.
