== Additional arcade hardware == Sega has developed and released additional arcade games that use technology other than their dedicated arcade system boards. The first arcade game manufactured by Sega was ''Periscope'', an electromechanical game. This was followed by ''Missile'' in 1969.<ref name=":113">Horowitz 2018, pp. 8-13</ref> Subsequent video-based games such as ''Pong-Tron'' (1973), ''Fonz'' (1976), and ''Monaco GP'' (1979) used discrete logic boards without a CPU microprocessor.<ref>Horowitz 2018, pp. 16, 28, 56</ref> ''Frogger'' (1981) used a system powered by two Z80 CPU microprocessors.<ref>Horowitz 2018, pp. 36-39</ref> Some titles, such as ''Zaxxon'' (1982) were developed externally from Sega, a practice that was not uncommon at the time.<ref>Horowitz 2018, pp. 48-50</ref>
