<p>A microcomputer based pinball game controller having three distinct memory devices for control of game operation. A first memory device utilizes machine language programming instructions for control of the game independent of specific game rules thus lending itself to mass production for a large number of different amusement games. A second memory device employs a higher level language set of instructions for controlling the game in accordance with specific rules of the game. A simple set of higher level language instructions renders this second memory device conducive to game designer programming and easy modification of the game rules, a marketing procedure traditionally used in the design of the electromechanical pin all machine. A third memory device, employing a matrix of operator adjustable binary switches easily accessible to the exterior of the game, permits a degree of game mode control, such as the degree of playing difficulty and the number of games for a given coin denomination.</p> |
