.. ... Funds of which the Tournament Games,
Inc. "Spectacular" was short after the
AMOA show week event in Chicago amounted
to $170,000, according to TGI President
Lee Peppard. Peppard said that amount
included a $90,000 cash shortage plus at
least $80,000 in "Tournament Bucks" cou-
pons which at present cannot be redeemed
by winning players for promised prizes.
Attempts were being made in the industry
to raise funds to cover the shortage to
players, including Play Meter's acting as
a clearinghouse for donations to a Tour-
nament Fund. Meanwhile, a class action
suit by the players, against sponsors of
the "Spectacular," Atari, Inc . and TGI,
is being considered by those individual
players pending results of the industry-
wide effort to raise the funds shortfall.
A full report will follow in Play Meter ..

Heubsch, would be " as thorough as we can
make it," to show local officials the
positive effects of arcade games and
well-run arcades. An announcement was
expected by December 1, to signal whether
AMOA's board of directors agree to the
cooperative industry - g overnmental rela-

. . . . . From AMOA, "no comment'' was the
official word from its Executive Director
Leo A. Droste as to why gray area games
were not required to carry a notice of
their potential gambling nature, while
they were on exhibit at the AMOA Show.
Droste told Play Meter that a last-minute
decision to rescind this earlier policy
decision had been made by AMOA but he
refused comment when asked if AMOA•s
backing down on this matter was a result
of a threat of a lawsuit by one of the
g ray area games man ufact urers ... , . .....•.
