This game has great sentimental value for me. The Jr. High School (some call middle school) I attended had two pinball machines and a juke box. One was a Williams machine and the other was the Bally Ro Go. I loved the horseshoe feature. Thank you very much for posting. Seeing this game in action brought back many found memories. I too loved the artwork.

... those triple rebound shots along with its ample side drains makes it a tough game

This was one of my favorite machines as a kid. I had many. Nothing personal,but you stink playing pinball. In the day, high score was tapped on every machine along with the persons name. Not to brag, but I had my name on 80% of the machines in the arcade. Yes, I the best. Mastering pinball is a lost art. It helped me in theworld of selling. The spider that walked into my arcade web. I would eat alive. Backthen, I was 12 or 13. Betting 50 cents a game. I gave up lawn mowing. I rarely lost.I don't think anyone ever beat me at RoGo, that's a fact. Brings back memories.

When I was a teen, my mom worked next door to a bar that had this game. I would go over with 2 quarters and play it for hours. Was easy to get extra balls and extra games.

Bally Rogo. The ‘Family Truckster’ of EMs. “Ya think you hate it now but wait’ll you play it”. Nice version of it though.

I use to play this game when I was a teen and loved it. I got to were I could get free balls and extra games. I loved it, wish I could buy one now or have a place to put it.

Love my RoGo! I purchased my RoGo in 1980, it was my first pinball machine. Since 1980, I've owned and sold over 150 machines, but I just could never part with my RoGo! I still have it today:) Great video!! I thought I was the only person in the world who owned a RoGo lol;) I don't see them anywhere! Cheers... 64m>:-)

this is a great video. nice tour ..and info about this game I think the pop bumbers are set just fine... the playfield is consistant all the way around playwise..so they are fine.. (some have mentioned that ...I think your ok ) .

Jet bumper switches need adjustment... playfield angle is too steep... adjust to 6.5 degrees for optimal action, score ,and enjoyment. GREAT GAME!

Notice that the play field layout is almost identical to the 1973 Bally Time Zone. Probably Bally's way of cutting costs.

Cool machine. Plays a lot like my Old Chicago. Does look like she might be a bit steep. Is that the correct angle?

Yeah, that's probably a good idea. It's one of those things that you always mean to get around to, but never quite do. :)

My pleasure, what was the Williams game? Also, this isn't that hard a game to find, you could probably pick one up in the $400-600 range if you wanted to have your own...

Your bumpers need adjustment to be more sensitive. ANyway, I think I would slash such a machine after 4-5 right outlanes..

This is a good game? The horseshoe drains the ball half the time so there's no use shooting it. Out of 10 balls played you were able to hit the upper playfield 2 times. Out of those 10 balls you hit the left lane once and the right lane once. I like a challenging game, but there has to be a chance of game-play. This machine's a one-armed bandit. I'd play it once or twice and walk away.
