Game Details
Features possibly the most controls on one game - difficult to learn - featured many hidden secrets and tactics. Minor classic.
This was the first game produced for Williams by Eugene Jarvis' company Vid Kidz.
The title refers to the teleportation "gates" present in the game- this title was dropped by Williams/Midway for reasons that have not been made clear. There have been claims that it infringed upon a trademark held by a board game manufacturer.
Elements of Stargate can be found in the two Defender spin-offs, Revenge of Defender and Defender 2000.

Williams Hardware Description
The older Williams games (Defender, Stargate, Robotron, Joust, Bubbles and Sinistar) have very similar hardware inside. These machines have five PC boards: CPU/Video- the main board, containing the CPU, RAM and video circuits The game CPU is a Motorola 6809E. There are 24 4116 RAM chips, giving 48K of DRAM, most of which is used for the video display (38K). There is also a 1K by 4-bit CMOS SRAM that is battery-backed-up. This retains the game configuration and high scores when the power is off.

Pinouts for MAKE TRAX (Williams, 1981)
Submitted by shu@cco.caltech.edu / essayes@telerama.LM.com
Here are the Make Trax pinouts, as promised.
Unfortunately I can't confirm it's 100% correct, as my board has a bad
RAM so I couldn't test any of the switches. At the very least the video
and power contacts are correctly identified.
Like I mentioned, the board is not the big multi-unit Williams setup used
in Stargate, Robotron, etc. It's a single board, kinda small.
