ABSTRACT

Midway also made arcade operators happy in 1976. Sea Wolf, the classic submarine shooter with periscope and side-scrolling target ships, became an arcade standard. Midnight Racer, a 3D driving game with Hi/Low shifter, was a major hit. The company even launched The Amazing Maze, a puzzle game reported to have more than one million patterns. Sega had a major hit, as well, with Blockade. Blockade was a simple enough game where you tried to avoid getting boxed in while you tried to hedge in your opponent and force him or her to crash.
