About This Machine

Ready...Aim...Fire! is a scarce release from Mylstar Electronics' brief 1983-1984 tenure using the Gottlieb trade name. Released in November 1983, this solid-state machine was designed by Shing Lam with artwork by David Moore, running on the Gottlieb System 80A platform. Only 390 units were confirmed produced, making it one of the rarer Gottlieb-branded titles of the era.

The gameplay leans into its Circus/Carnival target-practice theme, built around ten standup targets, two flippers, five pop bumpers, and two slingshots. The dense arrangement of targets gives the game a shooting-gallery feel appropriate to its theme.

As a lesser-known machine from a transitional period for the Gottlieb brand (Mylstar's ownership was short-lived before the company became Premier Technology), Ready...Aim...Fire! remains a sought-after collector's item today, prized for its rarity and its carnival theme.
