A video clip of Skyhawk film reel gameplay was posted and I also briefly described how the hardware works.

And a film reel of Nintendo Skyhawk arrives to eventually be restored / preserved. Skyhawk uses a single film reel for gameplay. Take note that the half of the frame plays the explosion effect when airplane target is declared a hit in the film reel target frame. It was an ingenious engineering design back then in which only one projection player is used instead of two projection units used with WG.

I hope reproductions can be made and available for purchase. The film would still require a process to capture the frames to some digital format that could be useable within some emulation / simulation environment, DarthNuno did that with a film reel of Kasco’s The Driver back in 2014 iirc. I recall reading the thread elsewhere and it was an expensive process iirc.
