Historical Notes
'The Atarians' was the first game by this manufacturer. First Solid State widebody game. First pin game to use inductive under-playfield sensors instead of rollover switches. Atari referred to them as "magnetic sensor switches" in their documentation. Eugene Jarvis informs us that Fred Yates was the original programmer and sounds guy. Eugene was his apprentice and finished up the game after Fred left. Mark Ritchie stated at the Chicago Expo 2012 that half of the production run came back to the factory because Atari had received a bad batch of plywood used to make them.
