On motion simulators, I recall an amusement arcade ride where you simulated a combat mission from an aircraft carrier. Expensive at £3 a go but it had 360 degree motion in pitch and roll and was really quite involving. You got strapped in tight. Was fine as long as you kept focus on the screen in front of you but a bit sick making if you looked out to the side.

I only ever saw it in Bournemouth and this was in 1994. Presumably it didn't pay, but someone somewhere must have patent details for it.

The great thing was you not only had unlimited ammunition but you also had unlimited lives so in that respect superior to the real thing.
