Manufacturer Mirco Release 1974 Class Wide Release Genre Ball and Paddle Mode 4 Players simultaneous Gameplay Competitive Panel Layout Multiple Player Controls Rotary: Analog
Monitor Orientation: Horizontal Type: Raster: Standard Resolution CRT: Black and White Sound Amplified Mono (one channel) Cabinet Styles Upright Cocktail In March, 1974 Mirco in- troduced Challenge, an upright four-player game that offered a free game to players who beat the computer in player-versus-machine mode. While Mirco claimed it was the first video game to offer such a feature (likely a false claim), it wasn’t enough to cover for the fact that Challenge was another unin- spired game (not to mention that four-player games had already
been on the market for at least eight months). "allincolorforaquarter.blogspot.no" Challenge "Challenge -
