Space Shot
About This Machine
Space Shot, manufactured by J. F. Frantz Manufacturing Company of Chicago, Illinois, and first shown at the October 1980 AMOA trade show in Chicago, is a pure mechanical gun game rather than a pinball machine. Its simplicity and straightforward gameplay make it an interesting piece for collectors and enthusiasts interested in coin-op shooting games from this later era of mechanical devices.
Space Shot uses a pistol to fire shots, giving players 10 shots for five cents. This made it an accessible, affordable coin-op attraction. Detailed information about its layout and specific rules is not well documented, leaving room for exploration by collectors.
Little is known about the design, art, or theme of Space Shot beyond its basic mechanics, which adds to its appeal as a lesser-documented entry in J. F. Frantz's catalog of mechanical amusement games.
