This game was manufactured by Wales Games Systems, Inc., a division of Wales-Strippit Corporation in North Tonawanda, New York, USA. It was later slightly modified to fit in with the western theme of Wales Game Systems' other games, having a cowboy hat added to the drawing of Joe and becoming "Tagalong Cowboy Joe," a "64-32 Ranch Game."
