Such a bizarre thing I had no idea Bally made a Hercules-style EM prototype.
I'm guessing it became firewood. Anybody ever seen one, played it, or know the story behind it? Was anybody involved in it eventually involved in Hercules?
Can you imagine the racket that thing made when it was starting up?
Plenty of info on this game at ipdb, from gameroom mag. Apparently the protypes fell apart because they didn't engineer it correctly to withstand the GIANT mechs. I would bet both protos are indeed firewood as they fell apart on test.
The concept was contracted by an independent company who indeed sold it to Atari who turned it in to Hercules. Interesting reading on it at IPDB.org
Quoted from pinsanity:Would love to have this but don't want to risk international shipping on such a rare item. Good luck with whoever gets it.
I've got some brief video footage of Gabe Kaplan and Dan Haggerty playing the Bigfoot prototype on '70s TV game show "US against the World."
That Marty Feldman/Roger Daltrey shot has to be from the same show as Haggerty/Kaplan in the footage are wearing similar attire with country flags.

Pretty cool but they really should have LEDd it.
