Bally Computer System
Color vs. B&W
This is an animated GIF and close-up created by Richard Degler to emphasize the differences
between the B&W and color versions of the "Bally Programming Keyboard."
Here are Richard's comments on the animation: "Looks like the same pictures to me, just that the B&W
version had some gold trim drawn back in, plus the interior and two switches airbrushed out."
The keyboard close-up shows the switches at 50% and also the Cursor D-star below. Richard says, "Those
reset and on/off switches are too close to the top row of the keyboard anyway! What's that circled-plus
key on there with the shift-for-BREAK for? And where's the BackSpace key?? I need that more often!!"

Zgrass 32 - One picture is from Atari Gaming Headquarters (I think), the other is
from the Digital Press CD, from 1997. I wish that I knew where this picture originated.

Zgrass 32 - The grayscale version is a high quality photograph from Bally. This picture is LARGE; try zooming in with a
software program... there is all sorts of detail here. The color version is a low-res scan taken from
a sales flyer. Both are of the same hardware.

ZGrass-32 and Add-Under Animation - Created by Richard Degler. Here are Richard's
comments: "[I] was struck by the similarity of the Z-Grass 32 picture [to the programming keyboard].
Stretched it to the same width and added gray bars to match the height, then animated between the
two add-unders. Not quite the same angle but definitely influenced by the first, as you can see
in the grayscale."
