IS THE MOST
BRILLIANT
NOVELTY GAME OF THE YEAR
https://elibrary.arcade-museum.com
To be succes~ful, an Amusement Game must be fun
to play. The new Pike's Peak is such great fun, its
novel appeal and tantalizing playing action are so fasci-
nating to players that we predict the majority of Pike's
Peak games will be operated without giving awards.
Unlike reel gam&s, dice ga!"'es, marble games, an entirely
new playing action has been built into Pike's Peak which
makes the player full master of his destiny; it gives him
full control over any of the five balls. Yet the conditions
which he has to meet, the obstacles which he encounters
change from step to step, ever new challenges to his
skill and alertness arise, decisions have to be made quickly,
muscular reaction has to be immediate, for such is the
playing principle of Pike's Peak that TIME becomes an
important playing element.
Once a ball enters the playing field there is action at
once and action, without a let-up. It requires cool judg-
ment and perfect coordination to have the ball climb
from one sloping, moving level to the next higher one-
within a given time-until it reaches either the "Peak"
or skids into a lower score ravine.
Adjustable Hi-score feature enables operators to vary
the "hancUcap" of each Pike's Peak, to suit territory and
prevalent player skill.
Seldom has there been a game with the come-on of
Pike's Peak. It creates that "let's try it again", appetite
which brings players back time and time again. It satidies
that basic human urge for self improvement and excel-
lence over others; its player appeal, will never diminish
because it offers constantly new combinations of chal-
lenge to players.
.
Pike's Peak skill features are so obvious that authorities
everywhere are pronouncing it as I 00% legal, you are
assured of record collections with complete secu~ity.
