These videos are just invaluable. Not only for video game history as well, there is no other place I could enjoy watching a show like this.

Great Job. An old Bally engineer that loves your videos. This game came out when I was at Bally in the early 1980s. We fought for years to get the zipper-flippers in a digital pin. Another bit of trivia you may be interested in, Bally was stuck with thousands of leftover 6-digit displays when we made the switchover to 7-digit. That is why so many games from that era featured the display under the playfield. It was an excuse to use them up.

What neat information Allan! I will share it with our next Bally game that has a display underneath the playfield! And I owe you a lunch one day!

this was done the same year they did Fathom and Centaur, two incredibly awesome pin ball games in their own right, but even they don't laugh at you like one does or have the awesome "zipper flipper".

Destroy centaur. Good memories!
@endotherm2 жыл бұрын
Centaur has "Ha, ha, ha" in the ROM, you can hear it in the self test. Not sure if it comes on during the game, I'm ashamed to say after 30 years of owning one I can't recall how to activate it (maybe the coin or tilt switches)? Centaur did like to mock you though -- "Slow aren't you", "Bad move human", "No class human". I never played Medusa before, but I'm surprised by the similarity of voices between it and Centaur. Medusa could have also benefited from Centaur's "Say-It-Again" sound reverb card if they could find somewhere to shoehorn it in.

Now that's some funny stuff Todd, keep up the good work. I called the number for the Terminator 2 fan club that was listed on the Midway's Terminator 2 arcade game. Just goes to a telemarketing company that selling T-Boost.

you got a brand new one. yours is in a very good state. i didnt know that it was a rare one before i bought my medusa. only payed 300 euros for it. does anyone know some prices how much a bally medusa is worth? great video!
@paulsolfelt84528 жыл бұрын
they could not have been that rare in the day because I played on both those tables but I remember both of them, unfortunately the spectrum I played on was in a fire at a bar and the place was destroyed,I still have both games on mame. medusa is a bitch to play but I remember kicking that games ass on location without the quarter on a string!!! I remember the unlimited credits when u cleared those top targets just right until you drained what memories!!!
