i see a few flip flops. i assume the score count is digital, but most other things analogue
edit: looking closer, there are a lot of logic gates, so idk anymore - Oct 14, 2026, 3:20 PM
@Haijo7 I recall reading it being discrete digital: registers for bat/ball positions and arithmetic comparators for collision detection, much like a digital calculator or wristwatch of the era. Though perhaps that was the mass-manufactured version on a chip.
