Created on 04-20-2020 Well, we got lucky a
few years ago when Mike and Andrew started writing in from Australia and
sharing with us. Especially when they turned us
onto the Baseball Games, which are Bingo Pinballs customized with baseball-themes
to help hide them from law
enforcement. Yes, it seems that at one time the Bingos were illegal there
too. So just like us here in America, they start to
disguise the games and picked a really Cool way to do it – I think is
unique to Australia` Well naturally I have
followed this since, looking for other history, and September last I spotted
these games` Well I tried to get us
some larger pictures, but the website would not let me and today Andrew sold
me, he tried to buy these at one time,
but that “someone had cleaned out their shed.” So these small
ones will have to do` Andrew also shared that
all the modified Bingos came from Melbourne and that he doesn’t
remember any “computer nor space”
related games. Two clues we can hopefully build upon. Thanks Andrew` I missed this when I
looked at the picture. Yes, two of the bingos are space-themes. I was kind of
hoping that “Star Rockets” would be the name of a
baseball team, smile – But take a close look at the graphics on that
backglass – Rockets` …and although we
cannot see the front of Satellite, we now know the likely theme there` So now I am wondering
if Atlas Computer is an advertisement, a special game he kicked out to help
some business. Andrew also mentioned that the
Dedi’s Fun Machine here is different than the one he copied me on
– So this guy did a lot of work` Cool, I’ll keep
looking` …take a closer look at the top right image, it does
say BASEBALL in that blue field` …take a close
look at the two Beach Times` …there are a
couple things here to note` …some sad news,
Andrew let me know that Mike Busetti passed away a few years ago` I will miss Michael, he
really love the games` |
