    Anyone know what the first game was with LEDs on the playfield, in a mech or behind the backglass. Not on the pcbs as we saw those in the 70s. Jpop?

    AFM had them in 1995, but I'm sure there are some before that.

    So did The Atarians in in 1976 (LED scoring).

    Here's a video of Xenon w/ Custom Led's and a 1979 Atari " Middle Earth "

    I don't think the led score display's count ....

    You're right, after I reread John's post. He wanted to know the earlist LED's installed in a game, not on printed circuit boards. That nullifies any display and light tubes since they use pcb's too. This makes things a lot tougher to figure out. Back to square one for me.

    AFM that's right. I also thought ARENA from 1987 had them in a ball lane or something for a feature? Jpop
