Arctic Gun

The Arctic Gun, manufactured by Williams in 1967, is an electro-mechanical gun game with a snow and world-places theme. It is one of several gun games Williams produced in this era, inviting players into a wintry target-shooting challenge.

Notable gameplay features include adjustable time limits, allowing players to test their skills within a predetermined timeframe. The machine costs 10 cents per play, and players are given a minimum of 25 and a maximum of 35 shots. A unique aspect of the Arctic Gun is its use of black lighting in a recessed target gallery, creating an immersive atmosphere that enhances player engagement.

The Arctic Gun's design and art are characteristic of Williams' distinctive style during this period, with snow-themed artwork depicting various global locations that adds a touch of whimsy to the machine's aesthetic. The game's mechanical components demonstrate the ingenuity and craftsmanship that defined gun games of the era.
