SEGA's first game...Arcade game that is!


Periscope


Last post I went over how SEGA was created in 1964 when Rosen Industries posed a merger and Service Games accepted, it was not until five years after the merger that SEGA brought out its first game.

In 1969 SEGA brought out a coin operated aracde game called Periscope, this game unlike arcade games nowadays was electro-mechanical, meaning it was operated by pullies and cogs.

To play periscope you had to look through the periscope (something like a submarine telescope) and shoot at the shipe you see.

The game below while not periscope is quite similar and is also an electro-mechanical aracde game, it's called Missile.
