Broadway Handicap - The Home Movie Horse Racing Game!

[Douglas Meltzer]

I hadn't taken this Official Films release out of the closet o' film for years.

Does anyone know of any other games involving projectors that were put out?

[Joerg Polzfusz]

Wow! I didn’t know that anything like this existed/exists!

[Chip Gelmini]

I wonder if someone would transfer that to video cassette

(V)ideo (H)orse (S)h&t

perhaps?

Sorry Doug, I couldn't resist......

Comes from a private joke with one of my best friends concerning the war between super beta and VHS and extended play being the worst that it could of the format that eventually won the battle

I remember something very similar to this on 16mm years ago. My family was at a very large camping convention and they used the horse races as an activity to keep the kids occupied.

(I found the projector much more interesting than the horses!)

Another time I remember they showed a John Wayne Western (Don't ask me!: I was maybe 11 or 12). I was really impressed at the way the scenery looked on screen.

Would still be a nice game, until you have done that a few times and the projector left marks on the film.

[Paul Adsett]

Sounds like a great item for CineSea, with players actually putting down a small bet of a few $ !

[Douglas Meltzer]

Paul,

Then it might look like this!

[Paul Adsett]

Blue Note to win, $500,000. Now roll the projector!

[Steve Klare]

I think we need to find more of those exercise films.

(-I mean: -with all that food...!)

[Joerg Polzfusz]

I wonder if you could buy additional racing films for that game back then.

Yes and I own two of them (I don't know how many they released, maybe just those two ones) but there no (as far as I know) accessories like tickets provided with the films.

[Brian Fretwell]

I seem to remember Derann selling off some 16mm horse racing prints that they used to hire (or add to film shows they did for events) out when the hires (not the prints) faded out.

Would still be a nice game, until you have done that a few times and the projector left marks on the film.

Better than cleaning up after the horses!
