Abstract

An arcade game in which the housing defines an opening on the front portion of the housing. A sliding panel which carries electronic circuitry is slid into and out of the housing, through the opening, along tracks. The front of the housing has a door for covering the opening, but this door is normally locked and can be unlocked only from inside the housing. To obtain access to unlock the door, the coin box closure on the front of the housing must be unlocked, enabling the operator to extend his hand into the interior of the housing to unlock the door.
