Mirco Games Incorporated

Mirco Games Incorporated, founded in Phoenix, Arizona in 1973, was a U.S. coin‑operated games manufacturer best known for pioneering the first microprocessor‑based, solid‑state pinball machine with The Spirit of '76 (1975), a technological milestone that helped accelerate the industry's move from electromechanical to electronic pinball. Mirco's mid‑1970s catalog included notable titles such as Spirit of '76 and Lucky Draw (1978), and the company produced foosball and other arcade equipment while operating from Phoenix, combining innovative electronics with compact, coin‑op design sensibilities. Although Mirco's production run was brief, their early adoption of microprocessor control and solid‑state electronics left a lasting legacy in pinball history and is frequently referenced in pinball databases and historical overviews.
