Lion and Bally Manufacturing

TCW Podcast Episode 090 - Lion and Bally Manufacturing   What will they do in '32? Ballyhoo! We examine the origins of the Bally Manufacturing Company, makers of pinball and slot machines and operators of fitness centers. While Bally rarely ever created video games under its own name, the company was a domineering force in the coin-operated amusement and gambling spaces and through its subsidiaries nurtured a diverse array of talent that introduced many video game innovations. In this first part, we chart the early years of the company from its start as a printing company subsidiary to the formation of a new Bally out of the ashes of the original in the 1960s by Bill O'Donnell.   TCW 59 - Williams' Crazy Story Part 1: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/williams-crazy-story-pt-1/ TCW 60 - Williams' Crazy Story Part 2 : http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/williams-crazy-story-pt-2/ Punch Board example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvaCjRM_oJE&t=117s Gottlieb Baffle Ball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1jETFi-f_c Ballyhoo Pinball: https://youtu.be/eGAw4oF5bWA?t=84 Goofy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZY8OLp5OLA Airway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1s1Gr-Nh8o Rocket: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPmGtEcjV9M Simpson's Keep Gaming: https://youtu.be/TvXUkE_Xoe4?t=94 1960's Bally Roller Derby Bingo Machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB7RZyfO1J0 More Bally Roller Derby Bingo and History: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfuF4jb-Cqc Bally Malibu Beach Bingo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwaS16HxGJw Money Honey Slot Machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvcTmmCdSi4   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: [email protected]  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's forthcoming book will be released through CRC Press!   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.
