As I have purchased some used games from Bally Midwest in Chicago, I am on their mailing list. I don't think their mailing list programs know how to tell a home customer from an arcade owner. About two weeks ago they sent an invitation to see Marble Madness converted to another game while everyone watched, so it must be fairly easy to do. Their showroom is the only place I have played but I agree, it is fun to play and easy to learn. Maybe, this kind of game can save the sinking arcade business. Bally is cutting back and laying off every time I go there. How depressing. Rick Schieve ...ihnp4!ihuxf!rls
