5.4 - What are Solid State games? (Pinball History)
Basically, anything that came out after EMs died out. The first solid state
game came out around 1976. The most obvious changes in these new machines
were the use of 7-segment displays for score, and more electronical-sounding
noises (computer-generated beeps and boops).
The first SS game available for general operator purchase was Freedom (Bally,
1976). Several games from the 1976-1979 period were made in both SS and EM
versions.
