Make Trax now at Galloping Ghost Arcade

Developed in 1981 by Alpha Denshi and published in North America by Williams, Make Trax is a maze game where you must paint the entire maze without being caught. Eventually, a creature or human will appear to “make tracks” on your fresh paint and they must be stopped to complete the level.

Argus, a never released Gottlieb Prototype, now at Galloping Ghost Arcade, with custom cabinet art by Jeff Lee

Designed in 1982 by Gottlieb, Argus has you playing the role of a superhero protecting the city from assault from monsters, criminals, and supervillains, using a trackball to fly around the screen. The game was never released, making this a Galloping Ghost Arcade exclusive!

The cabinet art was custom made for Galloping Ghost Arcade by none other than Gottlieb’s legendary Jeff Lee, creator of Q*bert.

This is officially our 500th game at Galloping Ghost Arcade!

Released from Gottlieb in 1989, Exterminator is a rare oddball of a game where you go from house to house, killing bugs with finger lasers or crushing them with your bare hands.
