Bally Astrocade

Bally · 1978

A pinball company's console, and a genuinely capable one: a Z80 with a decent display and a BASIC cartridge that turned it into a programmable computer, with a peculiar combined joystick, paddle and trigger controller. Sold through Bally's own channels and never widely. A small, devoted following.
