Jeez, still have to do this...
Sorry...
BUT......today I solved a riddle that puzzled me for a long time. Well, not really a riddle, but simply one of the cabs that I failed to ID on that video (keeps bugging me).
The reason is mostly because I actually remember playing that game.
It is the game that is showing movie tracks of (model) warships on a sea. You have to blast them out of the water with a huge gun with a big red button on the back.
You can see it in action on video from 07:14
Today I was at a retro-gamers fair in Apeldoorn (almost 100% console/homecomputers, but still very nice) and was browsing through a book (in French) about one of Nintendo's designers (sorry, forgot his name). It showed all the history about Nintendo games and there....at a certain page I see it ! THAT IS THE GAME I FAILED TO ID !!!!
A huge red cabinet....that IS it...: Nintendo Battle Shark !!!!
It indeed uses (pieces of) 16mm film to show the images. It's almost completely mechanical.
I was completely unaware that this was a Nintendo game !!! However, a long time ago I do remember reading about someone finding one of these huge red Nintendo machines with film projection, but I never made the link to the game I remembered.
The KLOV description is wrong by the way, it mentions you have to shoot at airplanes, but in Battle Shark it is boats only. I did see another (even larger) likewise game that _did_ seem to be about shooting planes in that same book....
If anyone can tip me what book it was....I'd love to own it (in fact there were two, one in French, one in English they looked about the same, but one was about the designer, the other about the history of Nintendo.
Anyway, however trivial this may be, I really was so exited to finally find this HAHAHA
The cool factor is that (without me ever realizing of course) the very first Nintendo product I ever played was.......Battle Shark !!!!
