  • Patent number: 4174836
    Abstract: An amusement game which includes a rotating column and viewport for simulating the periscope column at the conning station of a submarine. A video tube is mounted within the column and is operated to form a video display simulating periscope scenes projected along the line of sight of the viewport. An enclosure with transparent walls which confine a liquid is carried within the column and is disposed across the line of sight for creating a simulated water line which is superimposed together with a graticule on the video display. A speaker is carried on the column for simulating the audio environment at the conning station. A deck and railing are mounted about the column, and the railing supports a simulated overhead above the column. A cupola having a peripheral panel of transparent material is mounted on the overhead, and a backlighted drum displaying a panoramic scene is mounted within the cupola for rotation with the column.
