I was reading over one cabinet on KLOV (looking at the pictures and wishing I could find one) when I realized it's sans CPU.
OK, fair enough. Has anybody compiled a list of arcade discreet logic games? Off the top of my head, I can think of the obvious ones. Pong and the variants. I assumed Computer Space is discreet logic but I see nothing to confirm it. Looking around on the KLOV, I found Death Race and Hi-Way. I thought a discussion here about discreet logic games brought up Excite Bike, but I can't confirm if this is the case.
I suppose I could cross reference a list of all known arcade games with what MAME emulates on the assumption MAME isn't emulating discreet logic games, but that leaves a lot of room for error.
So.... is there a list of known discreet logic arcade games out here?

Sprint 2, by Key Games/Atari - 1976 was the first video game to use a micro-processor. Everything prior to that uses discreet logic, TTL components.

From memory Monaco GP by SEGA was also a discreet logic game as they removed it from MAME because to emulate it was impossible due to having no CPU and simulation isn't acceptable to the Dev's no matter whether it's 100% accurate or not. Annoying really as I like that game ....

Atari's Stunt Cycle is discreet. Also the first arcade game I ever played. :)
