Obviously, the more the
players like a machine, the
more they play it. The more they
play a machine, the more you
find in the cash box at the end of
the week.
The Rapid Fire r .. continuous
fire conversion kit will make
any game you install it on more
liked and more played.
Every week
hundreds of
games in Japan
and
Taiwan are
being
converted to
continuous fire
type play and it's
paying off daily in
increased cash box counts.
A proven idea.
What Rapid Fire n• does is
enable the player to get
continuous fire action when he
holds the fire button down. It
gives players of Defender,
Space Fury, Asteroids,
Phoenix and other popular
games an added thrill, and a
tangible reason to come back
and play y..QUI games again and
again.
Rapid Fire "' also makes the
single shot games like Space
Invaders and Galaxian more
exciting to play, especially
when the action gets close to the
laser base ... similar to the
automatic fire feature on Atari
Centepede, and you can count
on a renewed interest in games
like Space Zap and Rip Off
when they are Rapid Fire "'
equipped.
It makes your game special
The kit, including the circuit
board plus front glass and fire
button decals, (which identify
your game as being Rapid
Fire"' equipped), is a low cost
investment that should pay for
itself in increased game income
every few days, over and over
again.
On cocktail tables or games
with two separate player
controls like Armor Attack or
Wizard ofWor, two kits are
required.
On location
installation.
The circuit board
comes complete with
all necessary leads
and connectors.
It installs on
Operator most video games
adjustable using a fire button,
circuitry
quick and easy ...
even the person who wrote this
ad installed one in less than
10 minutes!
Service is a snap too. The unit
is proven to be virtually trouble
free and comes with a 60 day
full replacement warranty
against defects in materials and
workmanship.
