Highlighting some probably under appreciated games.
A great gem you may have overlooked is Bally Sente's 1984 Hat Trick. It's a two person 8-way joystick (KLOV lists it as 4-way, but it's 8-way) competitive game. The gameplay is superb and well controlled, with some simulated inertia on the ice to be dealt with. It's the type of game that holds up well under prolonged play, the novelty being the skill of the opponent your up against.
Bally Sente isn't known for any giant blockbuster game titles, but they have some excellent titles to their list worth checking out.

Agreed. Speaking of which...was "Euro Stocker" never released, only released as a prototype, or what? Have we been able to determine that yet? I remember looking for clues back when I was heavily involved with dumping efforts and not being able to find more than the sketchiest possible information about the game.

I talked to Lee Actor - formerly of Bally/Sente - two years ago. At the time, he said "Euro Stocker was designed by my old business partner, Dennis Koble, though I'm not sure if it ever made it to production."
