IIRC, the 1976 G-T Jay Wolpert-created Double Dare used a lighted matrix board by Conrac akin to those that were used at Stade Olympique in Montreal and Candlestick Park in San Francisco.  That board was used for clues and scoring on the "Spoilers" game.

The font used on the Double Dare clue display was a duplicate of the screen font of the Apple ][e computer.  Font was also used on Magnificent Marble Machine (marquee display), Blank Check (center-stage display), and Definition.
