Accepted [+] [X] Paddle Battle Update submitted by NPI_WOL
Re-release
Paddle Battle (c) 1973 Allied Leisure.
100% copy of Atari's "Pong"
- TRIVIA -
Released in March 1973. Paddle Battle was designed for Allied Leisure by Universal Research Labs, who would later produce their own games as well as games for Stern.
Jack Pearson : "Allied Leisure heard about Pong and we got a distributor in California to send us one and we paid him about twice what it cost him to buy it. We didn't know anything about solid-state games. We were all relay logic so we took it to a company in Chicago called URL and they more-or-less copied the circuitry and started making boards for it. We came out with Paddle Battle and I think we sold more than Atari did.".
With various sources reporting 22,000 units sold, this was reportedly the best selling "Pong"-clone of them all - perhaps even outselling Atari itself.

Refused [+] [X] Scramble Update submitted by NPI_WOL
Unreleased
Scramble (c) 1978 Vectorbeam.
- TRIVIA -
It is not known if this ultra-rare game was ever actually released. Even the game play is unknown and has been variously described as a video pinball game and an 'inside-out Breakout'. It was the first original game Vectorbeam produced and was shown at the 1978 AMOA show. Larry Rosenthal vaguely recalls 65 units being sold to an overseas distributor (adp-Automaten, Germany) but notes that it may not have been released in the U.S. at all.
