All Bally Astrocade Games in One Video 

This was an impressive machine for it's time.

Just saw an old episode of Price is Right where an Astrocade and a set of games was part of a showcase.

Got goosebumps watching this, brings back a lot of memories the astrocade was my first console as a kid. Really cool to see it again. Remember zzzap and Red Baron was played a lot

So cool seeing the home versions of Wizard of Wor and Space Zap (Incredible Wizard and Space Fortress) using basically the exact sounds from the arcade. Also cool seeing the Galaxian games using both the color scheme and the sounds from GORF.

What an amazing machine for the time.

Those pac man,space invaders and centepi clones are definitely must haves for it😁

It's a shame that this console never caught on because hardware wise it was far superior to the 2600... The Atari 2600 ONLY had 128 BYTES (not kilobytes, BYTES) of internal ram The Astrocade had 4 KB of internal RAM, and the RAM was actually expandable up to 64 KB with expansion modules CPU: Zilog Z80, 1.789 MHz (Atari's was only 1.19 MHz) RAM: 4 kB (up to 64 kB with external modules in the expansion port)ROM: 8 kB (Atari didn't have ANY internal ROM) Cart ROM: 8 kBExpansion: 64 kB total (2600 had NO memory expansion options) Ports: 4 controller, 1 expansion, 1 light pen Sound: 3 voices + noise/vibrato effects (played through the TV) (Atari only had a SINGLE sound channel)

This console is severely underrated and I mean it

Never heard of Astrocade. That's astonishing.

Bally were a bunch of idiots for not pushing this harder. This thing is amazing for a 1978 home console. It's really quite close to the arcade at home. The price point was $300, but I think if Bally / Midway had leaned into this harder they could have beaten out Atari.

There was a glitch in Red Baron: There was a spot in the clouds you could shoot, and accumulate points every shot. Also, Wizard was the best! I had so many hours on it. After a while, you would know exactly where the Wizard would spawn and I'd shoot before he showed, so at the exact time he spawned, my bullet would strike him. Star Battle was awesome. Great sound effects. Brickyard was addictive, and Clowns was cool. If you angles the "ball" just right, you could clear almost all the balloons without the ball even coming down. Same with Brickyard. There were other games you could download from a cassette tape into the Basic Cartridge. It was a tricky and finicky process. I think one was called "Sea Devil"? I think that's right. Great game, like underwater Defender with a submarine and sea life. Maybe I'm misremembering that one. Great video! Thank you!

Loved Artillery Duel, Bally Pin, Cosmic Raiders, Galactic Invasion/Galaxian, ICBM Attack, Incredible Wizard, Muncher, Red Baron, Seawolf, Treasure Cove. I always thought it was the superior system when compared to the 2600. It was particularly strong multiplayer.

I have one and hope to fix it some day, but games like Wizard of Wor illustrate the possibilities of this console.

GORF used the same hardware as the Astrocade. Such a lovely piece of kit (for the time)

The Wizard of Wor clone is remarkable for a home console of that era.

Sound was awesome

Hi. Can I use this footage for a video I am making on the astrocade? You have some games here that I am having a hard time finding anywhere else. I will give you credit of course and link back to this video in my video description. Thank you in advance.

Missing "Checkmate"...

Bally made a game console? I knew they made games but they were more of a Pinball Company rather than a arcade or video game company.

Sloched is a real game?
