BALLY MIDWAY - Production from 1988 to 1999
« on: September 30, 2012, 01:19:10 PM »
BALLY MIDWAY - Pinball Production from 1988 to 1999 incl.

Here is a list of pinball machines produced by Bally/Midway who were purchased and merged operations with Williams.

The Bally name dissapeared after the 1999 production of Revenge from Mars which was the last pinball machine designed and branded by Bally.
The titles below were all branded by Bally although alot of people sometimes mistake some of these titles as being Williams in the later years.
An example is Revenge from Mars Pin2000 which was Bally, but the Star Wars Episode One variant is branded Williams !

1999-01 Revenge From Mars  

Bally games speak for themselves. They are very popular and are highly collected.
Addams Family holds the world record for the most machines ever produced for a single title. A 2nd Gold collectors edition was produced 2 years later in 1994.

Alot of the later Bally games are known for having very pretty artwork and playfields. An upmarket design philosophy was used during this later period.
Mistakenly, alot of people believe Cactus Canyon was the last pinball title produced by Bally, but infact it was Revenge from Mars. This generally mistaken belief, has led people to pay crazy prices for Cactus Canyon which had dropped in price dramatically over the past 3 or 4 years.
Cactus Canyons production was stopped earlier than first predicted due to the Pin2000 production, leaving the code for the game to feel "unfinished" to alot of Cactus Canyon owners.
Generaly, half of the titles produced between 1995 and 1998 have held very high resale prices due to game production numbers being quite low pro-rata on alot of these games and the fact that Bally designed some great non licenced themes during this time.

I hope this list helps people remember the great games produced by Bally !  ^^^
