The best of Bally 1980-1981

[Pop Bumper Pete]

The early 80?s were a very good time for Bally

Most games that were produced at this time have become classics and highly collectable

 

Which is your favorite?

[rod71]

Xenon

EBD, but love the look of Xenon.

This is why I put up a nomination thread, I didnt really intend this section for random polls.

Fathom

Any reason why it started at 1980 Pete ??? :unsure

 

My 2 favourite Bally's are from 1978 :

 

-Six Million Dollar Man

-Harlem Globetrotters

 

Both great games to play and have become highly collectible .

Hey, if you want a poll about games earlier than 1980, start another poll

 

AS I said in the opening post, the games Bally made in these two years are classics and very collectable

 

 

Yes, Bally games from 1976-79 are also good, but the game play is simpler than this group, so not comparable

Fathom for me, although ive only played it on pinmame:redface So i imagine the real thing is flicken awesome!

EBD for me, not the best backglass of the bunch though. I give that prize to Xenon and Fathom with Medusa a worthy mention.

Sorry Pete . Wasn't stirring . Just wondered what the reason was behind 1980 - 81 .

 

Well my vote , out of those choices , is definitely EBD . Looks great and plays great .

[Railways]

My Fathom and I will never part company:cool:

[bloodyfingers]

Toss up between Fathom & Embryon for me.

Fathom is a beautifull machine but can be to easy, where as Embryon seems to always throw up a challenge & sounds awsome.

Same here mate. Would LOVE to play the real thing one day!

Centaur keeps me coming back again and again to play - it really challenges me - then there's the cool artwork , colours etc. I currently rate it higher than my Embryon and I have yet to get my Fathom, Medusa and Elektra going so I dont know if my rating of centaur will ever change.

I remember talking to your son in NZ Clive and he said Centaur was his favorite game in your lineup as well.

i haven't played one in recent times (the last 20 years) but will have to find one for a go.

Xenon I don't reckon I've ever played and would love to one day it just looks great so I voted on EBD as I've played all the others and just love this game.

Never ever come across a Xenon wonder where they all are?
