The Good Old Days
All this can only lead to one conclusion. When it was released, Ballyhoo was untypical for its genre. However, 20 years later, we all know how it developed later on: real-time adventures faded into obscurity quickly, and event-based ones turned into one of the most popular genres for some time. In that respect, Ballyhoo feels much more modern than much of the competition at its time.

Ballyhoo is neither a classic, nor a "must-play," but it is an enjoyable game well worth the time you will put into it, if you can avoid the little land mines surrounding it.
