Ice Cold Beer was produced by Taito in 1983.

This game is a cross between am Arcade & Pinball Machine.

Would love to have a bash on this and reminds me of a Shrek Game i used to play on the 360.

Anyone ever seen or played one of these in the wild?[/align:1pz5nlkc]

I think I may have seen something like this before.  I can't remember where, though.

I would love to get a go on it.

I've never seen one before but looks pretty cool.

What about you @arcadeaction?

Funny, I was just playing this game at a friend's house! It is quite fun I think.

It's "brother game" called Zeke's Peak is essentially the same game but has different art and was targeted for more of a family atmosphere, whereas this game was more placed in bars.

What about you @arcadeaction?

Here's one more photo of the game, played at the Jacksonville Arcade Expo where I took this photo.

I think there might have been a couple of different cabinet designs. I have never actually seen the version shown in the sales flyer/brochure. I've found with quite a few games that the game that seems to be on the flyer/brochure is often a prototype game used to get out to distributors and then they end up changing some details of the game when it is mass produced.

Also, check out this game that is sitting next to it: The Irritating Maze. It is kind of another alternative arcade game that is quite fun...



Trek MD: you might have played it at Freeplay Florida last year. Are you going this November??
