BALLY · 1984
Granny and the Gators
'Granny and the Gators' is a combination of a scaled-down pinball machine and a video game. The manual in our Files section is missing several pages but reportedly the full manual from the manufacturer mistakenly contained a "Vidiot Module Theory of Operation" useful only for Bally's 1982 'Baby Pac-Man'. A different vidiot board is used for 'Granny and the Gators' thus it has different led flashes at boot-up. We separately present in the Files section the correct document "Vidiot Deluxe MO81-00114-AO41 Theory of Operation". We incorrectly showed Jim Patla as the designer of this game. Claude Fernandez told us Patla had no input or had any contributions to the design which was his follow-up to Baby Pac-man.
