Comments | Very low cost, the Bally unit has large selection of preprogrammed games and a good display density. However, a calculator like keypad makes programming difficult. The graphics statements are interesting and show that someone special is behind the Bally. Look for incredible improvements in the Bally Arcade soon, particularly a higher-level unit with a unique graphics language called GRAFIX |
