SERIAL # DATABASE
Star-date 14-02-2009Black Holes identified: | The Black Hole serial # database has the most entries of all the System 80 games, showing the game's popularity. The serial #'s registered suggest that Gottlieb started numbering production games at 04000 and did not skip numbers in producing the 8'774 games. That said there is 1 game in the 03000 range and there are many games in the 04000 range with an "S" prefix, which Gottlieb used to indicate a sample game. Sample games though are always in the 01000 range, as is also the case with Black Hole. It's difficult to know then if these games in the 04000 range were really sample games or if including the "S" was just a mistake. | ||
