1 Million B.C.

1 Million B.C. is a significant piece of coin-op history, produced by Midway Manufacturing Company in April 1968. It is an electro-mechanical gun game rather than a pinball machine, built around a Dinosaurs-Historical theme.

The cabinet's dimensions, advertised at 68 inches high, 26 inches wide, and 35 inches deep, are relatively large for its era, providing an imposing presence on any arcade floor. The game was also advertised as available in a "store model" variant, which included a stepstool for children, a longer line cord, and an extra meter.

The dinosaur theme is prominently displayed throughout the machine, tying it to a wave of prehistoric-themed amusement games of the period, including the similarly themed Bally's 1971 'Four Million B.C.'. Unfortunately, little is known about the game's designer or specific design inspirations beyond its historical context, but 1 Million B.C. remains a fascinating piece of coin-op history for enthusiasts of vintage electro-mechanical games.
