non-CPU based Games


For emulation, check out Dice.

For more information on the games, check out Discrete Logic.

Information on these games:
Old games such as Pong didn't use microprocessor ROMs but integrated circuits. Emulation of the actual circuits themselves is needed to get the games in MAME. This emulation is being worked on in a project called Dice, or Discrete Integrated Circuit Emulator. More information can be found at adam's emulation wip. Right now Dice supports Pong, Rebound, and Gotcha.


Computer Space (Nutting Associates, 71)


Pong (Atari, 72)
Pong was added to MAME for a short while, but later removed because the simulation was very inaccurate. It's now emulated in Dice.


Gotcha (Atari, 73)


Soccer (Taito, 73)
Basketball (Taito, 74)


Rebound (Atari, 74)


Clean Sweep (Ramtek, 74)
A game similar to Breakout.


Surround (Atari)
Info from Stefan:
Surround most likely never existed as an arcade game, it was only available for the Atari 2600.

Speed Race (Fuji, 7?)
(From Andrew)
There is a very old (74-77?) vertical driving game I just got called "Speed Race". It has a large cabinet with a BW display, and a timer with a circle of led's to the right of the screen. Game ends when the timer runs out. Graphics are very simple like the earliest Atari games. I have access to another "Speed Race" cabinet. Is it vertical and made of moulded plastic, and very large (well over 6ft). Looks like a statue from Easter Island!
It's made by a company called "Fuji" (not Tatio as I originally thought). There is also a Fuji copyright on the board. I can't find a date anywhere but it is definately mid 70's. The cabinet is very well built with a big realistic woodgrain analogue steering wheel and gas pedal, but it's not as big as I remember. The board uses discrete circuitry, no cpu. If anyone wants more info on this, I would be glad to help.

Maneater (PSE)
Maneater's cabinet was a giant mold of a shark head! This was at California Extreme '99 but the game was not working.
Info from Al: Project Support Engineering (PSE) made these four games.


Cross Fire (Taito, 77)
A ripoff of Bazooka.


Submarine (Midway, 79)
According to the flyer for the game, it's electro-mechanical.

There is a Monaco GP simulator in the works. Pro Monaco GP is the same game, but in a different cabinet.
