Bally Videocade, Astrocade, et cetera

Recommended Posts

I just purchased a Bally Videocade. The title permutation is "Bally Computer System."

 

First, I am very impressed with this little system. It's very innovative, I love the controllers, and a lot of the games are pretty unique, which I like. :)

 

So, I have about eight games, and I am wondering what some of the "must haves" are.

 

Here's my list:

 

  • Bally Basic
  • 2002 Sea Wolf and Bombardier
  • 2011 Galactic Invasion
  • 2018 Solar Conqueror
  • 3005 Bally Pin
  • Elementary Math and Bingo Math
  • 2019 Cosmic Raiders
  • 2004 Clowns and Brickyard2017 The Incredible Wizard
  • 2012 Space Fortress

 

So, what should I set out to buy next?

Mine is a NIB 'Astrocade Arcade' :cool:

 

The Bally really is an awesome and overlooked console. It is a shame that they appear so fragile however. Though I'm betting that tearing out the large amount of shielding (or tin foil insulation wrap in the first models! :-o) would go a long way towards making them less prone to breaking. I stripped the shielding down in mine and added the highly recommended AV mod to the unit.

Go to http://www.ballyalley.com

 

You can download BASIC games from your computer to your Astrocade.

I saw that. I printed some up and I'm going to program them.

 

I was wondering if there are any really great retail games that I am missing out on.

 

If you have the BASIC cart with the built-in phono jack you can hook a cable between that and your speaker/headphone output of your computer and play all these games:

Or burn a CD and play them from a cd player. You don't need to type anything in.
