Help identify game from my "shaky" memory

[desiv]

OK, I think I am remembering this game accurately????

 

It was a game where you shot at airplanes as they flew by.

I think you might have supposedly been on a ship manning an anti-aircraft gun?

 

Anyway, the "hook" for this game was that the monitor pivoted!

You had handles/triggers that were attached to the monitor.  As a plane would fly by, you would rotate the whole monitor to try to track the plane and shoot it....

 

I remember this game at some kind of store (I think) at Oregon State University in the late 80's/early 90's...

I think....

 

Does this ring a bell/sound familiar to anyone?

I don't think I just dreamed it...  But.. er..  It was college..

 

Thanx!

Oh, that had to be it!!!!  (Although it was near photo realistic in my memory, but I knew that wasn't the case based on the era...  )

Thanx!!!

 

What a creative game.  Cinematronics makes perfect sense....

I would imagine that was possibly a tricky game to keep working, but I loved playing that...

 

Not something you can emulate well with the true feel of the original....  ?

(Well, I suppose maybe with a VR headset.)

No problem!

 

One of the Aladdin's Castles by me had one. I did put a quite a bit of time on it as well. Not sure if it would hold up today for me even with the motion gimmick.
