Ever Play A Bingo Machine?

Many pinball fans are not knowledgeable about Bingo Machines, and few have played
them. HERE'S YOUR CHANCE!

Visual Pinball is the FREE program that lets you play simulated
versions of REAL pinball machines on your computer. It is not difficult to load
and use Visual Pinball. True, it's not the same as playing the real machine,
but where can you play hundreds of simulations for free, on machines that work
fine and require no spare parts? The simulations vary in quality from so-so
to drop-dead, right-on perfect. Check out Bullet6 Pinball Nirvana, Bullet6 IRPinball, Bullet6 Pinball Originals and Bullet6 VPForums for Visual Pinball.

Malibu Beach by Hung

In 1977 when I got Roger Sharpe's beautiful book Bullet6

Pinball!,
I saw some photos of complex pinball machines which had no descriptions. It
took a while and some traveling for me to find and play a Bingo, but YOU can
be playing one a few minutes from now.

An author named Hung from Taiwan has written 2 programs for
Visual Pinball that simulate Bingo pinball machines. Bullet6

Malibu
Beach is an EM Bally game from 1980, actually a re-make of Bally's Bullet6

Laguna Beach (1960). Bullet6

Continental is a solid state machine derrived from Bally's Continental (1980) and some later European solid state machines.

On both programs you can adjust the tilt bob from very sensitive all the way
to no tilt at all, completely changing the character of the game. Both games
have no flippers (like pre-1947 pinball). The player inserts coins, and is paid
off on the credit meter. Both sport the features and complexities of the prototypes.

The author's native language is not English, so I have written very explicit
instructions for each machine in its' TABLE Menu/Table Info section of the Visual
Pinball editor.

If you're a pinball fan and are not using Visual Pinball, you're not playing
with a full set of balls. Don't be afraid to try it. And the Bingo simulations
are unique, historic, and a lot of fun.

After you use Visual Pinball, there are over 400 MORE simulatins
of solid state pinball machines with Bullet6

VisualPinMAME.
But that's for another day.
