Does anyone remember a game from the 1970s that was a semi-transparent blue plastic case probably two foot wide and probably a foot and a bit high, which involved sinking (or targetting) enemy ships (clear transparent plastic models) using a combination of two dials to control the horizontal and vertical movement of a small bulb underneath, which if it happened to be under the model counted as a hit?
I've found almost every game I can remember from my childhood online easily apart from this one. I'm not 100% certain it was called Salvo but I believe it was, and I doubt it could be mistaken with many other games as very few would involve a pair of dials to move the gun's impact area (a small light-bulb) independently horizontally and vertically under a plastic playing area, on what must have been a spring-mounted target as it was very spongy in movement, which made the game that much better as the calculation for the gun firing (your ship to the target ship) more random.
