Peppy the Clown
Description
The game is a creation of art all of its own. It looks like a regular arcade game but, it has some class to it. Instead of a screen inside that might show an action fighting game, there is a cute clown in a red, blue, and yellow clown costume that is made to be a marionette (puppet on strings). The top says "Peppy the Clown and the Three Ring Circus" It runs on dime. When the money is in place, circus music and an organ come on. There are four buttons on the front. You can make the marionette dance. You control both of his hands and feet. He moves his mouth and sings on his own. It would be a great hit at any local or party store. This game is run on an 8-track. Later on, another company made a game with the same puppet but it was called "Bimbo the Clown and the Three Ring Circus" Bimbo was supposed to be Peppy's twin brother. This is, in my opinion, the best arcade game ever!
