Does anyone remember the medieval shooting gallery at the Contemporary Resort?

I'm feeling a little nostalgic and suddenly had flashbacks of a trip to WDW in Orlando as a kid in the late 1970's/early 1980's. I remember we stayed at the Contemporary Resort which had a huge arcade in the lobby. One of the coolest things I've ever seen was the shooting gallery there. My memories of it are that it was a huge medieval castle scene. There was a wizard and lots of skeletons and stuff like that. Specifically, I remember a huge smoking breathing dragon that you could bring to life by shooting the right targets. Anybody else remember this? Have any memories or pictures of it?

Yes -- fighting swords on the castle wall, and lots of sound effects too.

Yes, sir! The fighting swords! I found a couple of different design drawings for the gallery that have a Marc Davis vibe to them. I'm just glad someone else remembers this besides me.
