Ballyhoo is an interactive fiction game designed by Jeff O'Neill and published by Infocom in 1985. Noting its difficulty, Antic concluded that it "supplies enough escapist entertainment to make it seem as if you have [run away to the circus]".
Legacy
The Lost Treasures of Infocom bundled 20 Infocom releases, including Ballyhoo. This package as shipped lacked some information necessary to complete the game; the final page of the souvenir program was omitted. This page was an ad for a classical music radio station; at one point in the game, the player must tune a radio to the frequency listed in the ad (AM 1170) in order to proceed.
