Trivia

This game, among other early video and non-video arcade games, were featured briefly in George Romero's horror movie classic "Dawn of the Dead" 1977, the direct sequel to "Night of the Living Dead" 1968. The scene, occouring about halfway through the film, features four survivors of a zombie holocaust who are seeking refuge from hordes of the walking dead in a giant shopping mall, which just happens to have an arcade. The version of Boot Hill played in the movie seems to be without the backdrop.
