All Sport
Wall-mounted two player machine with fast gameplay. For a penny, ten balls (or fewer, if the operator was greedy) are alternately delivered to the right and left bat by turning the crank. Goals scored can be counted in the recessed windows next to the knobs which control the bats. |
Bryans 1937

Bubbles
Insert two pennies to start an electric pump which shoots balls upwards. Two players compete to catch as many balls as possible by manipulating the two brass nets. The winner gets to keep the returned coin when a timer ends the game. |
Ahrens 1930s

Double Top
This was the last wall machine produced by Bryan's Works and the only one designed by Jim Bryan (son of William Edward). After inserting two pennies, two players compete on the two allwin-like games. |
Bryans 1970

Ice Hockey
These robust, oak-cased games were a common sight in arcades of the '50s and '60s. Play is fast-paced as the two chrome manikins swivel on the spot, trying to fling the puck (ball) at each other's goals. |
Ruffler and Walker 1950s

Ice Hockey
A late model of the well-established and already old-fashioned two-player ice hockey game. The flyer advertises 5 BALLS for 1d ALSO AVAILABLE AS 3d AND 6d PLAY WITH UP TO 9 BALLS. |
Cromptons 1960s

Satellite
Two pennies are inserted and the first player to orbit their satellite around the earth wins a penny back. As the satellites progress, the planets revolve on their axes. This is one of the smallest two-player race games (most of which are robust, floor-standing machines). Characteristically, Mr Bryan protected it from overenthusiastic competitors, designing it to reward those who wind the handle at optimum, rather than maximum, speed. Wind too fast and the drive disengages. Appropriately, this game arrived at the start of a much larger race which began with the launch of the Soviet Union's first satellite, Sputnik 1. |
