I plan to start posting again sometime, but I'm not sure when.<br />Someone recently dug up some more documents from the Magnavox v Bally case as well as the Bally v Williams case on Bally's microprocessor pinball patent. they had a few tidbits, including details on Bally, Ramtek, Williams, and Gottlieb's early solid state pinball projects. I may do a post on them soon.<br />Keith Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08421308095592306594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8167179463808604240.post-57565948872399048362017-08-08T14:28:18.319-05:002017-08-08T14:28:18.319-05:00Keith, you still doing posts?Keith, you still doing posts?Tighe Loryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09637298437238958865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8167179463808604240.post-78147692729855819492017-03-22T15:26:39.338-05:002017-03-22T15:26:39.338-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01584155369555038719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8167179463808604240.post-91311118031391639142016-08-28T22:53:18.663-05:002016-08-28T22:53:18.663-05:00The nature of a release date, for me, has to rely ...The nature of a release date, for me, has to rely on either contemporaneous company acknowledgement or the date where it goes into full production for the local area. <br /><br />For example, Atari Coin Connection lists and exact date for Breakout: May 11th, 1976. However, the leaked Atari production document says that it started production in April. What I think the former date means is that is when it went nationwide to distributors, that *any* operator in the country could order it. It's a vamping thing. When you consider a release date depends on your ability to waver from the "finishing" date.<br /><br />I think based on the available evidence that Computer Space came out in November, but I'll talk about that a bit more when I do my Nutting summation. <br /><br />I'm glad you found some supporting evidence for Alex's info. It's great that there's an archive like the Stanford Daily, right in the heart of the explosion, which is available for us to research!AguyinaRPGhttps://www.reddit.com/r/GamesHistory/noreply@blogger.com
