3-D BIIBCIS
Subroc-JD, a new video game from
Sega, brings authentic 3-dimensional
video and stereo sound effects to the
amusement game industry for the first
time, Sega officials said.
The new game also features a "two-
scenes-in-one" playfield in which the
player can maneuver his flying Subroc
craft to skim the ocean and battle sea-
ships, or to soar the stratosphere for
high-flying excitement against enemy
spaceships and flying saucers.
The game's objective is to score
points by defeating a barrage of enemy
warships on the sea and in the air. .. and
to destroy the elusive, barrier-protected
Command Ship at the end of each
round .
Subroc-JD's dimensional effects are
produced with new hardware and
software systems. The playfield is
viewed through Sega's unique 3-D
viewing system that allows the player
to view a true 3-dimensional image
without 3-D eyeglasses. Special
shutters operating at 30 images per
second alternately display the video
images on the monitor in rapid syn-
chronization. By looking at dual
images with the right and left eye
separately, a 3-dimensional picture is
formed .
During game play, the player can
freely choose between air and sea
battle as part of the special player-
control features built into the game.
At sea level, the player faces various
seacraft enemies that fire torpedoes
and space charges. Ominous battle-
ships head directly toward Subroc.
Other warships, called destroyers,
move horizontally across the screen at
varying distances from Subroc, their
point values changing in proportion to
their distance.
From the air, Subroc is attacked by
Flying Saucers and gargantuan Air-
ships firing lethal rockets . All the air
and seacraft, their rockets and torpe-
does , are targets for Subroc, and when
hit, they score valuable points for the
player.
The game is over when all player
craft are destroyed. Subroc-3 D is a
one-player game and is operator
adjustable from three to five player
ships and various skill levels. Sega 's
one-of-a-kind Subroc-3D game is
available in upright or sit-down cock-
pit models.

its new children's prize vendor, Clown-
A-Round.
The unit is constructed of durable,

with mechanical reliability, including
a photo-electric cell in place of con-
ventional micro-switches.
Clown-A-Round comes in a super-
size 76-inch unit. Standard size is 58
inches and the mini is 48 inches. Both
feature a synthesized sound program,
as well as a rotating clown.
