Battle satan
Using a black-light illuminated joy-
stick with an integrated trigger and a
regenerating shield for protection, the
player battles swooping gargoyles and
menacing devils to build a bridge
across a river of fire to battle Satan in
his lair in Bally I Midway's Satan's
Hollow.
Combatting ever changing patterns
of attack by the enemies, the player
gains increased fire power at the com-
pletion of each battle with the devil.
Bally f Midway's computer hard-
ware system is the key to Satan's
Hollow's
video graphics display.
During the course of game play, the
scene changes from daylight to dark-
ness intensifying the player's challenge
and hazards. Satan's Hollow is also
equipped with a complete self-diag-
nostic package providing the operator
with valuable information on player
input, bookkeeping, machine set-up,
channel testing, and ROM and RAM
operation.

position with another fighter by
calling up a reserve ship or by docktng
with additional Tac l Scan fighters as
they randomly appear on the screen .
The number of additional reserve
ships is limited, so the player must
concentrate on docking with other
fighters in order to replenish his forces.

pilots his Ta cl Scan squadron of seve,~
space fighters through three phases of
deep space trvel. Tac I Scan enters a

To destroy the enemy and escape the
galaxy. He destroys the evil armada by
firing missile salvos. He attempts to
escape the galaxy by entering a SQace
Tunnel that places the Tac l Scan
