Hit me was the first Black Jack arcade videogame and maybe the first card videogame ever. Only [Video Blackjack](/software/video-blackjack/) (for The [Fairchild Channel F](/museum/fairchild-channel-f/)) was released the same year. It's not clear which one copied the other, though arcade versions are generally first...

The game is in black & white. Up to 4 players can play against the computer.

A cocktail cabinet was also available.
