Re: Rhode Island games

There was a game from Midway called Shoot Out (I think, it was a LONG time ago)
that was supposedly the first to use the hologram. It was a shooting game where
the big deal was the game announcing "It's time for the big shootout" and then
this holographic gunfighter would appear through tavern doors in the center of
the "screen". If you shot first it would have a death sequence. If you didn't
beat it I think it blew the smoke from the end of the gun and smiled.

Not a damn vector related thing about it, though. It would have been in the
VERY early video games days.
