    Kind of depends on your criteria a bit I suppose.

    Many System 1 machines mimicked the EM equivalent for functions. Any bugs on these?

    I've always felt the software from Larry Demar seemed pretty solid. Often taking into account situations that one might not normally consider, and then having software accomodate for various and potential mechanical malfunctions. A bit of a segue, but if you are looking at situations where you could intentionally try to mess with the mechanical switches, in ways which would not normally occur or be anticipated, this could be the way to create some odd software situations which some might consider to be bugs.. but the Demar code seems to somehow think of everything.

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    I seem to recall mention of solar value scoring and jackpot bugs.

    Form the pembot fixes:

    Bug Fixes. A surprising number of fairly serious bugs in the original game have been fixed in PEMBOT. These affect the solar value, the energy value, dual-scoring during multiball, and the chest skillshot. A few more minor bugs were fixed as well.

    The splash on the chest was quite interesting to me. Always noticed it.. Never thought of it as a bug, but yeah. Slight advantage timing on the left as opposed to the right.
