ipdb.notes
IPDB The Billboard ads shown here each make pictorial reference to oil wells although none are seen on the game itself. One of those ads refers to the Buy-back feature as "exclusive". We know this feature was also advertised for Bally's 1941 'Pan-American' and other games. We previously showed a date for this game of May 1941. 'Boom Town' was a Hollywood movie about oil tycoons released in August 1940. used
