About This Machine

Baby Sharpshooter is a Game Plan game that was designed on paper in 1985 but never actually produced. Artist Larry M. Blazek created a carnival-themed "Target Practice" concept for a solid-state cocktail table machine, submitting artwork for it around the same time as an already-approved sister title, Lady Sharpshooter. Game Plan opted to produce Lady Sharpshooter first, intending to follow it with Baby Sharpshooter — but that follow-up never happened, and the game remains unbuilt.

Because it never reached production, no confirmed details exist about Baby Sharpshooter's actual gameplay, rules, or specific features beyond its intended carnival/target-practice theme. It survives today only as a piece of pinball history: an unrealized cocktail-table design from the twilight years of Game Plan.

As an unproduced concept rather than a manufactured machine, Baby Sharpshooter is chiefly of interest to historians and collectors of pinball ephemera and unrealized designs, offering a glimpse of what might have been rather than a machine anyone can actually own or play.
