Pursuit

๐Ÿข Kee Games ๐Ÿ“… 01 Jan 1975
Decades before modern first-person flight combat games like Star Wars: Squadrons, Ace Combat 7, and IL-2 Sturmovik placed players inside the cockpit to lock onto enemy bogeys, Kee Games engineer Lyle Rains designed Pursuit in early 1975. It stands as one of gaming's earliest cockpit-view aerial dogfighting simulations.

๐ŸŽฏ Performance & Launch Trajectory

A vital stepping stone in first-person arcade flight combat and pseudo-3D sprite scaling.

Pursuit is a 1975 combat flight simulator video game developed and published by Kee Games for arcades. The player controls a World War I flying ace who tries to shoot down enemy planes. Gameplay is from a first person perspective.

Gameplay

The player uses a flight stick to steer the plane up, down, right, and left to get the enemy in his or her sights. The top-mounted fire button is then used to shoot the enemy plane and gain points.

Release

The game is housed in a custom wide cabinet modeled to look like a World War I biplane cockpit. It includes a similarly modeled flight stick with top-mounted fire button. The game’s PCB is composed of discrete technology and includes Atari/Kee’s Durastress technology. One overlay provides the onscreen crosshair.
