American Horseshoes brings a traditional backyard game to the arcade: aim and toss horseshoes at a stake, scoring points based on throw accuracy. It's a rarity within the arcade sports catalog, almost always dominated by football, baseball, or boxing.
Its value today lies precisely in that rarity: it's a testament to how much the industry experimented in the years when any recreational activity seemed like a candidate to become a coin-op video game.
