This reminds me of the Tetris story: Who exactly would own the various rights to this games?

It's a clone of a U.S. product, Sea Hunter. Same for most of the other Soviet arcades.

Do you know if they run on 6502s and other Western chips of the time? Were they cloned, or imported? Or were there Soviet ISA's?
I remember reading years ago about how Russian computer scientists in the cold war were more honed in algorithm design, because they basically had to squeeze as much as they could out of their processors to compete with faster Western hardware.
