Game-A-Tron
Game-A-Tron Corporation, of New Britain, Connecticut, was founded in 1978. The company developed, assembled and distributed coin-operated arcade games for amusement and, where allowed by law, for gambling or casino purposes.
Early arcade machines were designed around discrete logic circuits comprising each element of the game itself. These so-called "finite-state machines" performed a predetermined sequence of actions depending on a sequence of events with which they are presented. The next generation of arcade games, like the ones Game-A-Tron (GAT) developed, used system boards with a microprocessor. The game program code was stored in ROM chips mounted on the main board.
Some of GAT's products were licensed to the Bally Manufacturing Corporation.
