SubRoc-3D DescriptionA fairly strange first-person perspective shoot-em-up. The play involves switching between firing at underwater and air enemies. The interesting feature is that it is in 3-D thanks to a special eyepiece.Cabinet InformationThe upright model features a pull-out platform for kids to stand on.Game IntroductionSubRoc is a fairly boring shoot-em-up that has one special feature: 3D. The game itself is modelled after old submarine style games in which the player targets enemies through a "periscope" like eyepiece. The play is from a first person perspective, with enemies approaching from the air and underwater. The 3D effect is implemented as a pair of rotating disks in the eyepiece, along with a pair of shifted images displayed on the monitor. Each of these disks is painted half black, with the other half being clear. A circuit in the eyepiece synchronizes the two disks so that when one eye is covered by the black part of one disk, the other can see through the clear part of the second disk. The game had problems on location because the disks would get stuck occasionally. Usually, this was a result of the cheap Mabuchi motors used to spin them.MiscellaneousThe title is an acronym for "Submarine-Rocket".VAPS Arcade CensusThere are 7,003 members of the Video Arcade Preservation Society / Vintage Arcade Preservation Society, 4,025 whom participate in our arcade census project of games owned, wanted, or for sale.
