ipdb.notes
IPDB This game is listed in Bally's Numerical List of Machines as the manufacturer's reworking of Bally's 1975 'Miss Universe' and with a new backglass. Among the noted mechanical differences are extra units mounted in the backbox with additional wiring, and an extra connector from the lower cabinet. Reportedly, two examples of this modified game are known, one fully operational and one not, and one has a cabinet stamped with serial MU1013, a reference to the thirteenth Miss Universe game from that production line. In fact, pictures we saw of one of the two games (not shown here) show the same cabinet art as Miss Universe. We don't know how many Miss Universe games never left the factory, having been held back to make this Model 1156 'Continental'. This 18-hole game is not to be confused with Bally's solid state bingo game, Bally's 1980 'Continental', which has a different backglass design and 25 holes. used
