Amusement equipment - Did you know?

"Laser Tag" was a product created in 1986 by Don Kingsborough, Worlds of Wonder founder. Using Laser Tag equipment, players can shoot sensors worn by other players to "tag" them. If you're tagged a certain number of times, you're out of the game. 

 

According to GOLF Magazine's Encyclopedia of Golf, miniature golf (mini-golf) dates back to 1916, when James Barber of Pinehurst, NC built a miniaturized version of a golf course on his estate. He mimicked the features of a regular golf course with little sand traps and small pools of water.

Skee-Ball is the most recognized name in redemption games.
The game was invented and patented in 1909 by J. D. Estes of Philadelphia. The first Skee-Ball games had alleys that were 36 feet long. By 1928, these were shortened to 14 feet and later to the present day 10 feet.

"Computer Space" was the very first arcade video game released by Nutting Associates in 1971. The game was rather simple in design compared to later arcade games, as the display was nothing more than a 13" GE Television housed in a fiberglass cabinet with a paint can as the receptacle for quarters fed into the machine. The designer of Computer Space was Nolan Bushnell who released the better known PONG arcade game the following year. Bushnell decided to have his newly formed Atari Corp. manufacture PONG after the prototype became completely stuffed with quarters on the first day of field testing.

Soft contained play (SCP) or, as it was previously called, soft modular play, is now 23 years old. It was invented by Jack Pentes in 1982 to overcome the safety hazards of outdoor physical playground equipment.

Unlike traditional outdoor playground equipment, Soft Contained Play is very compact, and can be used by large numbers of children simultaneously, making it ideally suited for indoor playground facilities and family entertainment centers.

The popular amusement park redemption game Whac-A-Mole has been around for more than 25 years. Hasbro even sells home versions.
