Unleashed by ATW Inc. , that fearless
adventurer of old embarks on this, hi s
latest series of voyages, in which he
faces the dangers of the unknown.
Destroying the forces of the evil
sorcerers, he nees through pathways of
danger with the 'Key of Destiny,'
avoiding the hidden dangers of the e le-
ments and enchantment. Reaching the
golden gate , his hopes of freedom are
dashed, as he tumbles through time
and space into the nest of 'Yirons .'
Fighting against time, he overcomes
them only to be plucked back into the
present to try again in A TW's New
Sinbad 7.
As he pits his skill against even more
powerful challenges and hazards, he
nees again with what he hopes is the
real 'key of destiny.' Will it lead to
success? He is tested seven times over
his skill.
New Sin bad 7 is a new game, leading
the player ever onward through seven
rounds of increasing difficulty. Many
will try,but few will succeed in gain ing
the ultimate bonus awarded for
successful completion of all seven
rounds.
Designed and built in A TW's new
modern factory, Ne11· Sinbad 7 is
available in standard upright, mini-
upright, and table models.

Centuri Inc. has entered into a licens-
ing agreement with Japan-based
Tehkan Ltd. to manufacture Swimmer,
a four-phase aquatic adventure.
Under the terms of the agree ment ,
Centuri has the exclusive rights to
Swimmer in both upright and cocktail
table models for the United States and
Central and South America .
"Our decision to enter into this
agreement was based on the ever
increasing demands of today's player
for different game concepts," said
Centuri President Arnold Kaminkow.
"Sv•immer not only meets these
demands, it exceeds them ."
With the aid of an 8-way joystick
and a left or right-handed "dive
button,'' the player begins an aquatic
adventure.
"The goal of the game," Kaminkow
said , "is to reach Treasure Island. In
order to get there , you have to avoid a
host of predators, while simultane-
ously gathering bonus points."
During the game , the player also
attempts to reach a floating "golden
ring" that gives him momentary
"superpowers." Swimmer also fea-
tures an end-of-game bonus that
allows every player a chance of
extended play.
"Swimmer 's graphics and sound
effects are without peer," Kaminkow
said . "It represents a significant
breakthrough in programming and
provides an outstanding alternative to
current video games."
