Massive 1966 Sega Periscope Arcade game. Firing Torpedo's is fun!

Never saw this one.  I would have loved it.

I remember playing a standup periscope game in the late 1960s, and I loved it.  I would have been around 9 years old.

It was the first arcade game I played, and it was in a long-gone pizza shop near the river in Madison, Indiana.  

I would take a bigger interest in arcade games in the 1970s.  First was a really lousy racing game (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09D8tek091s) in a "dime store" in downtown Columbus, Indiana.  Then I found a mechanical shooting game I liked at a department store.  Then my sister and I became hooked on a mechanical baseball game that was in one of those really small corner grocery stores.

Apparently, arcade games have a long history.

Columbus got its first mall around 1973, and an arcade opened a year later, which changed my life forever.  The arcade started with mechanical games.  The first video game was Pong, which I didn't find very interesting.

I'm repeating myself.  Sorry.
