If
you are Bally`…after releasing an endless stream of OK-games what do
you do`
Well,
you try to step away from the notorious 5x5 bingo cards and release a spin on
Section Scoring`
It kind
of works too`…Bally’s new game Mystic Lines, would run from
Border Beauty in 1965 to Tahiti in 1979
A lot
of old school players missed the 5x5 bingo cards and hated these things, but
all said-and-done there worked`
With spins
like Bonus 7 and Super 7 these are really kind of Cool and became the
favorites of some players`
These
were low in build numbers out of Bally and there are not too many around
anymore,
but it is worth hunting down the ones
with the game within a game features`
It
all started down-on-the-border with a completely new look for the
Bingos
Yep,
my thoughts exactly`…what kind of crazy movement and scoring is that`
Well,
for that center column`…each # moves up-or-down one position`
And
the two columns on the left swap with each other – And the two columns
on the right swap with each other`
Whack`…Yes,
quite a few of us thought so, smile`
Now Don
Hooker was gone from Bally, but I bet if we research the patents, we will find
his hand in these`
I intend
to do just that, so I will leave this note here as a place holder`
To
get us started, here is a drawing set one of one of the manuals`…I
forget which one`
With
this level of complexity`…Bally had to leave us a paper trail`
