I am not aware of any pinball machines that used the 4004, or perhaps I
should say commercial pin ball machine. The only arcade game I am aware of
is BioRhythm which used the 4004 as the processor (can't remember the date,
and the docs are buried.) My life with arcade games began in 1972 with
Atari Tank (still have the boards and prints, just no game.) The earliest
TTL game that *I* recall was Spirit of '76 by Mirco, but it didn't have a
microprocessor IIRC. Got introduced to that one when I went into an arcade
that had it sitting there not working, and I volunteered to find the problem
(I did.)
