    ipdb.notes
    The first 'pitch & bat' baseball game by Williams to use solid state electronics. For several Williams games (especially before 1987), Speech Processing was a separate task than Software Programming and may have been done by a different person than whom we list as having done the Software. Larry DeMar did the Speech Processing for this game. Included in this listing is a game located in Australia having a green cabinet and a green control panel overlay, and with a sticker on the cabinet back showing a handwritten serial number 13005, the lowest known number compared to other games in this production run. Mark Ritchie identified it as a prototype game, one of a few. The stencilled number 101 on the sides of this cabinet probably was put there by a location operator as the plastic key tag also has 101 handwritten on it. Later Production games in the USA have been identified as having the green cabinet, although we have no pictures of them.
