1966 Periscope - ペリスコープ by セガ (Sega)


Name: Periscope - ペリスコープ
Year: 1966
Manufacturer: セガ (Sega) 


Once again, we defer to the article Who Created Periscope? to hash out the details we have now, but it's safe to say the Sega models are more well known internationally.
Sega would release a single-player version in 1968.

A year prior, Nakamura Seisakusho released their massive Periscope game.  While it is not know if Sega licensed it or copied it, I think it is safe to assume that Sega's design is a copy of it.











It is delightful to have some of the technical details for games of this era:

Periscope can be seen in the background of ザ・ガードマン (The Guard Man) episode 118 大泥棒一家.  (you can find a detailed breakdown of the machines pictured here in the post exploring the arcades in a few Japanese TV shows)
