banjodeano Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I was talking to a friend about old 1960's amusement arcade machines, and i recall one called something like "Aladdin's Cave", it was an elephant on a small track that went round and collected some cheap trinket in a cardboard box from the rear of a cave, and then it tipped it up and dropped it down a hole for you to collect, i also recall two monkeys that climbed up a pole, and you had to race each other by winding a handle to move the monkey up the pole, no idea what that was called. Anyone got any fond memories of these bygone machines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
