Sega Missile
Missile, released by Sega, June 1969. Basically the same game as Midway's SAMI. Has electronic sound, and the fired missile can be
steered by the player after it is launched by using the joystick. Cabinet is covered in a Formica-like material and is very durable
(and heavy). Game uses a looping film strip to show the planes on a projection screen. Player moves a small motorized tank left and
right via two buttons (left and right) which moves the motorized launcher, and then fires ahead of the incoming missiles. Once the
missile is launched, the missile can be slightly steered into the oncoming planes ("flight control") by moving the joystick left or
right. If a plane is hit, an explosion is heard and an explosion flashes on the projection screen.
