News briefs .... news briefs .... news I \
. . ... The AMOA's 1982 exposition will be held in Chicago rather than
Las Vegas as originally set, AMOA President Norman Pink announced on
April 27, after this issue of PLAY METER had gone to press. He had
recently traveled to Las Vegas with Executive Vice President Leo A.
Droste to negotiate with planned Expo site, Caesar's Palace, which
agreed to cancel the prior AMOA agreement without any penalty , Pink said
the AMOA is "holding space at two locations in Chicago, and an announce-
ment will be made soon as to the specific Chicago location." {See story
inside this issue on the manner in which AMOA officers formed their
decisions regarding Las Vegas.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
•. ... European manufacturers were holding an April 28 meeting in
London to discuss possible actions to ward off copycat games.
An invitatation was extended to representatives of the Japanese
and American producers' associations, JAMA and ADMA respectively,
to have input into an international effort against games piracy.
Business schedules prevented chief officers of JAMA and ADMA from
attending, but spokesmen said joint meetings between the three
groups, including the new British Video Manufacturers Associqtion
{see story inside this issue), will take place this summer .
..... The &~OA has been given a re-hearing before the Copyright
Royalty Tribunal on the mqtter of jukebox location lists which
are required to be given to the CRT by operators. At press date
for this issue, AMOA General Counsel Nicholas Allen could not
detail the procedures open for qrgument in the new hearing, set
for May 13. However, the l~cation lists have apparently never
been used by the agency in securing per-jukebox fees whi e h are
collected to produce royalties for mugic copyright owners--as
reported by PLAY METER, July 1979 issue, pages 24-28 . . . . . . ... .
..... Stern Electronics, which has taken court action to prevent
apparent copies of its video game, Astra Fighter, from being
distributed, recently announced its intentions to take legal
measures to protect its rights in manufacturing a new game,
Scramble.
(This game is introduced in the New Products section,
this issue.) Details of the action will follow in PLAY METER ....
..... Nintendo of America, Inc. will be introducing two new games
at a special distributor preview in New York City at a date t o
be announced, in June, said a Nintendo spokesman. Nintendo is
currently marketing the color video game Radarscope . . . . . . . • . .
