I was guessing Taito Attack might have different type of targets. I am guessing both might be possible to use.

I have a hunch that a Taito Attack pcb might be found later and actual prom images (assuming prom(s) are readable) will be dumped. Andy has a good track record finding these types of Taito pcbs.

Thanks. If he were still posting here on MW frequently, I might have messaged him.

>anyway, he told me that his Play Rally machine isn't real Play Rally, but a Pong clone.
>or is the original game a Pong clone itself? i'm not sure.

The link to the cab shows a For-Play's Rally cab and I had thought maybe it had a Rally pcb in the cab. That is a bummer that he didn't have a working Rally pcb for that cab. I wonder what pcb his cab is using now.

There were a lot of different pong clone variations (if strictly going with 2-player variations...not the 2 to 4 players pong versions) to Atari's original Pong.

Allied Leisure Paddle Battle was most seen, but there were other 2-player pong variations such as Midway's Winner, For-Play's Rally, Williams Paddle Ball, Nutting Associates Computer Space Ball etc.

The unique feature with For-Play's Rally is the ability to switch the game selection to play either against another player or player versus machine. That wasn't a common feature with early generation of arcade pong hardware until the next generation of 2 or 4 players arcade pong hardware did have the versus machine option capability. The versus machine option was a common feature with pong console's since many of the brands of consoles had the pong games programmed down to single chip.
