- ipdb.notes
- We estimate the date for this game as early 1970s.
Our listing for Chicago Coin's 1973 'Trap Shoot' rifle game discusses an unnamed rifle game popular in Italy upon which it was based, invented by a man named Luciano Ceccaroni and manufactured by a man named Franco Chinea, both from Italy.
Lanfranco Chinea was the general manager of Model Racing, a company very well known for their "model racing" stock cars which were popular in the Italian arcades.
No doubt, therefore, that 'Shot Now' is that unnamed game and we offer here the USA patent US3918714 granted in 1975 to Luciano Ceccaroni (who was 91 years old at the time) for a rifle target mechanism depicted in that patent document as similar to the optic lens mechanism(s) shown inside this 'Shot Now' game.
Patent #3918714 [FREQUENCY RESPONSIVE LIGHT TARGET] filed May 16, 1974. Granted November 11, 1975 to Luciano Ceccaroni.
