It is the first coin operated video game. No it has a CPU and in fact it a computer not just a CPU. It is a 16 bit computer called a PDP-11 which ran the program, in 1971 the PDP-11 cost about $20000 US dollars. The CPU that MAME is using currently is T11 CPU which was the first single-chip microprocessor developed by DEC and compatible with the PDP-11. Unlike most if not all the other files that MAME uses this one is a text listing instead of instead of a binary file. If/when someone ports the PDP-11 from MESS over to MAME, the game will most like run on the PDP-11.
If you look at the code, don't forget all the numbers in column 16 though 36 are in Octal and not Hex and the numbers with a '.' after them are Decimal and not Octal like the rest of the numbers. I am not sure which source code file that MAME is converting the Octal to a machine usable code.
