Stunt Pilot (1971) - Electromechanical Arcade Game from Midway 

You shouldn't rate these according to how fun they are but the MARVEL - the absolute technological marvel they were when they were released those many years ago. I would totally play this game if for nothing else to congratulate the developers of this fine mechanism.

I have a very clear memory of playing this as a child. The little ambulance coming out each time you crash fascinated me.

This was my favorite game as a kid growing up in the 70s.

Pepper's ghost is what that technique is called and it's brilliantly simple and effective. Imagine being in the theatre in 1862 and a ghost that literally passes through people appears on stage.

When we were kids we could never figure out how they managed to get so much depth in the playfield of those classic electromechanical arcade games. The playfield would be twice the length of the cabinet, sometimes more! Crazy engineering went into those machines, thanks for showing it some love.

Magical, these types of games they really are.

Definitely a flash from the past, thanks for sharing this. I remember playing this and not enjoying the game so much but loving the holographic(ish) look of the biplane. It felt like the future.

As a small boy, only knowing about rubber band powered balsa wood planes, when I saw this game at 10yrs old it was "mind blown". Thanks for the upload experience!

Good stuff.. I can remember playing this in the early 70s at our local Amusement Park's arcade in Upstate NY.

Awesome thanks. Not a lot of footage of these games left.

This cabinet may still be at an arcade in Seattle. I played it in 2014

Fun? This game blew my mind.

Wow, thats great. Very cool.

This game was at the Santa Monica Pier arcade in the 70s. I never got a chance to play it because it never worked! Its really interesting to see it operating.

I played that back in the day when it was new one time and I think I was on vacation at the time

The game low key reminds me of the hologram-like early CGI aesthetic

I appreciate these types of games more than most modern games. When I run into these types I head to them first.

huge memories on this one , was very common together with the Blue shark right before videogames start to hit

That looks amazing

OMG, I totally forgot about playing this game in the Isle of Man when I was a kid. I agree as I remember (now) that it looked cool through the window though the gameplay was rubbish lol. Many thanks for posting!

I played this a few hours ago and it was glorious!

Hey, this place is in Chester County! That's my county! I need to visit this place!

Nobody remembers these but me I thought. Cool

Who are all those people fighting in the background? Tell them to get along with each other

They have this game at the Kraken Dive Bar in Seattle. And don't blame the game for your poor flying skills 😜

Very cool
