Submarine (サブマリン lit. Sabumarin) is a mechanical arcade game that was released by Namco in September 1979,[1] and was licensed to Midway for US manufacturing and distribution.
Gameplay
The player uses the yellow periscope to aim at the moving submarines on the screen.[2] Pressing the button on the right handle will fire a torpedo, and the goal is to shoot down all of the submarines in the fastest amount of time. The farther the submarine is, the more points the player will receive, with green being the closest, and red being the farthest. The game ends when the timer on the cabinet reaches zero.
Remake
A remake, titled Submarines (サブマリンズ) was shown at the AOU 1999 Amusement Expo in Japan, and ran on Namco System 12 hardware. This version uses a binocular-style periscope with the screen being inside. A prototype was made, but was never released.[3]
