Background

The table was based on the technology Dave Nutting Associates had created for Bally in 1974. The firm licensed the technology to Mirco Games in 1975 to create the table, since Bally was not initially interested in the system. The table had a fairly small production run and was regarded as having an unattractive design by critics.

gollark: It is being held in reserve as a contingency in case they are irritating wrt. phones.
gollark: They just... don't? And you can't swap the storage out, mostly.
gollark: Flash chips are *tiny*.
