How would it appear on a pinball machine?
Electronic displays started
appearing on pinball machines in the 1970s (if Wikipedia is to be
trusted), the same era as the introduction of video arcade games.
But you don't need an electronic display for that: all you need is a
small lightbulb behind a coloured glass: when the game is over,
the light bulb lights up.
These "electromechanical" pinball machines have been made from the 1930s
until the advent of electronics.
True enough. Do we have any examples of that existing so we can fix
the [[Game over]] article?
