Bally Old Chicago Pinball Overview

Another year, another hobby?
I only have so much space for this kind of junk.

Great informative video,I have the same "old Chicago" I also found it on Marketplace for $300 it has no issues and I'm always searching for videos and info on it

I love it. I had on growing up. Played many years. I'm the best at this game. Sadly my stupid sister put it outside for storage I never brought it back in it still sits there to this day. When so many people want it.

Cool find, indeed. Somehow I got the idea before that you weren't the biggest fan of EM machines. I remember you did a video where you showed a P133 machine that had the Microsoft Pinball Arcade demo and you stated you didn't care for the older tables in it. Btw, when did you get that Atari 400 I see on the shelf? I have an 800 myself and I'm quite a fan, I'd much rather have it than a 5200.

Yeah, some of the earlier games in that collection are rather boring, but I did like slick chick and spirit of 76. The ones before those two are boring as hell. They feel more like playing a pachinko game than a pinball. Yeah, that's an atari 400. I need to get a power supply for it. It was kinda crazy how I found it, we were up in the mountains camping and we went on a four wheeler ride like some 20 miles out of where we were to a small town of like 300 people or something and saw a garage sale, picked it up there. It's on the big long to do list of stuff to get working.

@@Tr3vor42532 I admit, I actually like playing Baffle Ball in it. Idk why, maybe it's the slow physics, but I find it relaxing. That's pretty cool, btw. I've actually never camped before in my life. Hope you can get it working sometime, I think it's a very cool machine. I personally like it about the same as the C64.

@@thepirategamerboy12 as far as I know, it only needs the power supply. I'd guess I'd enjoy it more than a C64 since I do enjoy me some 2600. For me, C64 doesn't quite live up to the hype that the internet gives it.

@@Tr3vor42532 The Atari 8-bit does have quite a few enhanced 2600 game ports, that's one of the things I like about it. I think it has more of those than the C64. The machine also can do those cool colorful gradient effects like the 2600 except with much better graphical detail. There are plenty of other cool games on it, too. Some of those I'd recommend are BallBlazer, Master of the Lamps, Alley Cat, and Rainbow Walker. Also, in my experience games that are on both the C64 and Atari 8-bit where the Atari version was the original, that one tends to be better. Frogger II looks way better on the Atari than the C64, it has a much nicer color palette.
