| Notes: | A licensed version of Bally Midway's 1985 'Eight Ball Champ'. The playfield shows artist Tony Ramunni's signature and the area between the flippers indicates Bally Midway. The game manual cover page is co-branded with both names of Bally and Maibesa. The inside of the backbox insert is marked with the Bally name. The circuit boards and some pages of the schematic carry the signature E.F.O. which is the engineering firm responsible for these items. Reportedly, Maibesa also acted as a distributor for other companies. We don't know the year this game was produced. However, most of the dates on the schematics we have seen were dated 1986. A few dates were shown as 14/10/85. | |||||

| Notes: | 'Eight Ball Champ' was apparently Bally's first production game to use the 6803 control board for its entire production run. Uses the AS-2518-81 "Squawk and Talk" sound board. Reportedly, there is a printing error in the manual: setting 28 in the manual is actually setting 27 in the game itself. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| Notable Features: | Flippers (2). Pays out in tokens. | ||||||||
| Notes: | Henk de Jager, a collector in Holland, tells us about the manufacturer and this game: "I know the Valco company, owner was Mr. Leo Vale. The Vale family was very well-known in the coin machine business during the 70s and 80s. The brother of Mr. Leo Vale, Harry Vale, had been the official Bally distributor for the Netherlands some time in the 70s. Valco was a small company producing skill games for use on (travelling) fairs. The company's address was Zeelandhaven 12 at Bergen op Zoom (Netherlands). For many years, I didn't hear anything about that firm, so I checked out at the Chamber of Commerce and I found the company was liquidated in 2009, last known address was Plantagelaan 12, Hoogerheide, Netherlands. (Postal code: 4631 CS). "About the "Soccer Champ" machine: I've never seen one, but I found it on a list of allowed skill games for fairgrounds from the Belgian government. The allowance was dated: 01-01-2000. As I said, this kind of machine was for use at fairs. The machines had no legs. Ten, twelve, or more of them were put on a long, circular table at the right height to play. The game is simple: put a coin in (mostly 50 eurocent) and you can play for 30 seconds (adjustable). The ball cannot leave the play Henk also translated the flyer text for us: Mini-pinball "Soccer Champ" The pinball machine exclusively designed for fairgrounds. - A pure game of skill, so no discussion about legal allowance. - Very popular by youth and older people as well, no game explanation needed. - Automatic to - Electronic, adjustable coin system. - Adjusted playing time is displayed in back - Nice sounds and light effects. Game rules: - After inserting a coin there is 30 seconds of playtime as indicated on back - During playtime player must hit as many targets as possible, by using the both flip - The 4 targets scores 1 point each at the score display. - Hitting the "soccer goal" scores 1 to 3 points, depending on the power of the shot. - A score of 8 points rewards one to - At higher scores, more to - Compact dimensions: Front height: 33 cm. (13 inches) Back Length: 87 cm (34 1/4 inches) Width: 45 cm (17 3/4 inches) The playfield is the same as Bell Games' 'World Cup / World Championship'. | ||||||||
