Sea Wolf II
Sea Wolf II was released by Midway Manufacturing in 1978. Other machines made by Midway Manufacturing during the time period Sea Wolf II was produced include Rotation VIII, Blue Shark, Extra Inning, Clowns, Dog Patch, Boot Hill, Checkmate, Desert Gun, Double Play, and Guided Missile. A timed submarine game where players look through large periscopes to aim at ships moving across the top of the screen. Torpedos are launched with a thumb button on the right handle of the scope, but mines floating across the screen can block these torpedoes. The fast-moving PT Boat is the hardest to hit. This cabinet has two periscopes side-by-side and the color scheme is blue. Players look through periscopes to aim at ships. Up to two targeting cross-hairs and the number of torpedos remaining are seen through the scopes. When the players have launched five torpedos, a red "RELOAD" light comes on momentarily. These are not shown on the screen, but are back-lit transparencies reflected inside the scopes. Likewise, when ships are hit on the screen, an explosion "light" is reflected inside the scopes. Torpedos are fired by pressing a thumb-button on the right-hand periscope handle. This time the game is two player simultanious and in color.
