I expanded this blog post into a conference paper last year, and that version of the article does mention the Marvin Glass & Associates connection, along with a few other interesting historical things, like the fact that Bally/Midway chose to Budweiser-theme it mainly for distribution reasons, as they were hoping to get it sold through Budweiser's distributor network (many people assume it was an advertising game commissioned by Budweiser, but Budweiser basically didn't care either way, letting their name be used but not otherwise getting involved or funding it).
