Canyon Bomber

It was the late 70's.  It was 1977 or perhaps '78 and the family was eating at Jack's Back.  In addition to being able to throw peanut shells on the floor this restaurant was exciting due to their strange alien amusement device.  They had a game called Canyon Bomber and it blew my mind.  I would later play a game also called Canyon Bomber on the Atari 2600 which expanded the formula to include launching torpedoes at ships and colored planes and blocks instead of glorious black and white blimps. But I believe my journey began here.
