Pinball published 34 years ago:

Comet (c) 1985 Williams Electronics Games, Incorporated.

- TECHNICAL -

Williams System 9
Model Number : 540

Main CPU : M6808 (@ 1 MHz)
Sound CPU : M6808 (@ 1 MHz)
Sound chips : DAC, HC55516

- TRIVIA -

Released in June 1985.

'Comet' was named after a popular ride at Chicago's now-closed Riverview Amusement Park.

8,100 units were produced.

It was the first solid-state machine to feature a one million point shot, using Steve Kordek's voice to announce 'One Million!'. An example of an electro-mechanical game with a million point shot is Williams' 1957 "Arrow Head".
