It was determined the combo board was too large and thus impractical for production use and so Bally went to a separate IO driver board for future development. In our Files section are three schematics that Allan Reizman said are correct for these prototypes only and carry the date and initials of Norm Wurz, Bally draftsman. These games did not have speech and used an Intel CPU chip, having three boards: a power supply board, an oversized MPU/IO driver combo board, and a Display board. ![]() Not to be confused with the AMOA talking game, there were also a reported eleven prototype Kiss games made with blue vacuum fluorescent displays. The game was only done as a one-time concept.īally's first talking production pinball machine was Bally's 1980 'Xenon'. Somebody recently reminded me it groaned, "Too much Rock and Roll!" when you tilted it. I believe it said things like, "Shoot the K" and "Kiss!" when you completed a Kiss row. The talking Kiss prototype did make it out of the lab at least once and was displayed at the 1979 AMOA show in Chicago where it was viewed by all. Allan Reizman, Engineering Lab Supervisor at Bally from 1977 to 1983, shares his remembrances of this: It was an emergency response to Williams' 1979 'Gorgar', the first talking pinball machine, so Bally pulled a game off of the production line to experiment with, and Kiss happened to be the game in production. The latter style was used as a double-sig logo and made infamous by Nazi Germany's Schutzstaffel.Ī 'Kiss' prototype was built which used speech. The games shipped to Germany had backglasses and playfields with the word KISS having a rounded letter "S" instead of ones shaped like a lightning bolt "S" taken from the runic alphabet.
