As the name implies, the Bally Professional Arcade (aka Astrocade) was the Neo Geo of the 1970s. While it came out the same year as the Atari 2600, it was far more powerful, on par with the arcades of the time. However, it was too expensive, difficult to code for, and received about no third-party support. Consequently, it ended up with a very small library, mostly shameless ripoffs of popular games. As an upside, with the Bally BASIC cartridge, one could create simple programs. A keyboard expansion to transform it into a full-featured computer had been promised, but it is uncertain if it was ever released.
