Editors Note: Based on the game art, Sea Devil appears to be based on the earlier commisioned Sea Devil. See the previous page for details
The object of the game is fire torpedos at ships sailing across
the horizon. See ships below. Each ship registers tonnage
as scoring.
Torpedos are aimed by viewing thru the periscope and fired
using a button on the periscope handle. The direction of the torpedo
can be adjusted for about 1/4 of the travel after being fired by adjusting
the periscope direction. You must lead the ships with your torpedos
and this is the skill/challenge of the game.
After the torpedo is fired you can watch it streak just under
the water surface towards the enemy ship.
There are 2 windows on either side of the periscope so others
can watch the action.
In the background you hear sonar beeping and once a ship is
hit you see and hear the explosion.
In the picture above we can see the blue/green water vinyl sheet and the white bar bar houses the lights that sequence as the torpedo travels. As the periscope is aimed the vertical white bar swings to follow.
The picture on the right shows that this white bar as attached to a chain which is gear driven. At the very bottom is a 2 way motor that drive a chain with the ship image carriers attached.
