ABOUT

According to the book Pinball Memories, of the 994 games made, less than 500 were sold. The rest were ultimately scrapped or salvaged. Based on the 1970 2-player board game Mastermind. Using Bally documentation, we corrected our unsubstantiated Project Date of 4-29-81 and Manufacturer Date of August 1982. Unlike other Bally electronic pinball games, their documentation for this game shows the model number only as 1262, not 1262-E.

Go crazy on drops till a column or two is filled so you have some guessing material

Rollovers = bonus multiplier. Even wrong guesses are worth bonus. Full grid = 60-120k times 1-4x multiplier.

Center kickout can tell you which bank to shoot if you hit it reliably

Flashing light in grid = correct guess. Solid light = incorrect. Swirling = current guess. Don't guess colors in same row
