Im writing up my cab build as part of a college planning project and Im just trying to get some background info. I think the first upright was Pong in 1971 (correct me if im wrong) but does anyone know what the first cocktail was? Thanks. |

or google! Othello seems to be the first... http://www.cs.colby.edu/~rjones/courses/cs398/history.html 1978 First known ``Easter Egg'' put into an Atari video game. Bushnell leaves Atari, agrees not to compete with them for five years, and buys Chuck E. Cheese chain. Nintendo releases cocktail tables that play Computer Othello. Atari releases Atari Football using trackball controller; huge hit. Midway releases Space Invaders; huge hit, causes coin shortages in Japan. Intel develops the 8088 8/16-bit processor. |

Thanks Lilwolf, your googling power is superior to mine! |

well, pong still came out in a table like fom before that, right? i mean, first it came out in that tabletop box thing, and then they started making...oh wait. it wasn't pong, but a variant by nutting associates. they made those round topped tables for playing pong on. i'd call that the first cocktail. |
