Game Story
I am not a big fan of Gun Fight. How did I end up with 5 of them in my shop?
It is a fine game. Monochrome with a monochrome yellow overlay. It is two player, which is good. The pistol grip controllers are nice to feel. Still I prefer Boot Hill.
Here they were, though. More Gun Fight projects than I wanted.
3999
This one arrived with the Space Encounters deal. It was actually sold to Robot City for 12 hours before it blew a fuse and had to be returned to the shop.

Picked this up in Perth Amboy. It had the odd style power supply.

Not sure where this one came into the picture. It had no base so it was 5 inches shorter than the others. Slowly the monitor was repaired, a power supply was found and the boards were repaired. It is now a nice specimen playing in Binghamton, NY.

David’s 3904
David had his own Gun Fight. It gives him never ending problems. The cabinet is not the best.

The Spare (1028, 1924)
Really just an empty cabinet. This poor thing gets gutted to help the others live. We have 1924 stamped in the cabinet and a door with 1028 stapled to it.
