"Bally/Williams" is just a name - don't let the name "Data East" fool you !
DEs are GREAT pinball machines - right "up there" with some of the Ballys.
They are reliable machines and play and look as well as any of the Bally Williams.
very true
both these companies made both good and bad games so as Nino said you should not go on brand name alone
I found as far as the build goes that DE games are as solid as any WMS game but then so are Gottliebs
