PT-109

Actual Entry (non editable)
PT-109 (c) 1976 Mirco Games, Incorporated. 2-to-4 players face off in a naval battle. Each team controls either a PT boat or a battleship, looking to score as many points as possible by blasting the opposing team the most before the timer runs out. It is essentially Atari's Tank but with boats. - TECHNICAL - Only released in a cocktail table model. Used 4 spinners. - TRIVIA - Debuted at the MOA '75 show, which was the same event where Midway debuted Gun Fight. Both games were the first video arcade titles to use a microprocessor (CPU) instead of TTL chips, which would revolutionize video games. PT-109 was ultimately a victim of poor marketing and the decision to only make it in a cocktail model - the cocktail market at the time was in a slump and games like PT-109 were not turning that around. On the marketing side, Mirco threw their budget behind their Spirit of '76 pinball machine, which was also one of the first CPU-powered (solid state) pins to the market, but that bombed thanks an uninspired layout and artwork. - SOURCES - Game's picture. Game's flyer November & December 1975 issues of Play Meter Magazine
