- The rules are posted, and any offender
is immediately asked to leave the premises .
-Lack oftrouble involving law enforce-
ment has encouraged public support.
-Specials are also given to kids with
good grades 'o n their report cards, high
scores on games, or even just being on the
local little league team. These specials
include extra tokens, a Captain Video's
hat, or T -shirt.
We are also planning the opening of a
Captain Video's II in our neighboring
town of Thatcher, and we are expecting it
to be just as successful.

Service questions
I want to learn how to repair video
games. Do you recommend Randy
Fromm's Arcade School in San Diego?
Do you have any information you might
relay to me? Or do you know who I might
talk to to get some information?
Thank you.

I could n't believe the response- news
cli ppings coming o ut of our ears the first
day. let alo ne the second and third days.
And the chatt er around the streets from the
a dults is encouraging to sa y th e very least.
Mr. & M rs. Pa c-Man never quits going
fro m the time we open th e door until we
close it. (A nd then it doesn 't always stop-
we need a cra ck at it too .) The Happy
Couple are indeed 'living happily at Bee

I love your magazine . As a new business
person , I sure wish I knew about your
publica tion at first. I too got taken by
Lei sure Time games in Indiana.
It is the new games from the reputable
distributors (or should I say manufac-
tu re rs) that have kept me above water.
Seems I've used the Leisure Time games as
seco nd machines and (eventually) the loses
will be minimized. We have really tried to
make "Lemonade" out of these "Lemons"
we bought.
