Well, there's a photo in the National Geographic Book : Inside the
Vatican, from about 1991 which shows the boys playing Gottlieb's Texas
Ranger...so that's my guess.

Don't know the answer, but a GORGAR would be great
at that location! Scare the snot out of the alter boys!
Even better if connected to the PA system during mass...

I'd suggest a caption contest for that pic, but I'm afraid some of the
replies would send people straight to hell. (including me for starting
it)

So I'll just say: Cool pic bro. d;^)

Even though the answer was named, I would've like to see this thread
go on a little longer. I'm sorry, but I laughed my ass off at some of
the answers. It's nice to see that some of you guys have a good sense
of humor...Thanks.
