| Remember that old arcade game of the 70's?
Killer Shark was made by Sega in 1972 and featured in the film "Jaws". It was one of those rare fully analogue games. The player aims gun at a moving shark to kill it. When the player shoots the shark, it flails around as if electrocuted (with appropriate sound effects) for a few seconds, before the next shark appears. The game is timed. The imagery of the swimming shark was made from a series of still slides on a wheel inside the machine. The wheel ratcheted around in a circle, timed with a strobe. When the player hit the target, it switched over to a different set of images with the shark flailing about bleeding.
