decide the winner . During a break at
the end of the first half , players plot
their offense and defense for the final
half.
In Mach Rider, a futuristic motor·
cycle adventure, players become the

their video driving skills to rid friendly
neighboring sectors of invading
enemy forces . Enemy vehicles , called
trikes, can be destroyed by shooting
laser bullets from the Mach Rider's
motorcycle or by bumping them into
roadside barrels. Each sector defended
has road obstacles, such as nying
bomber balls, road rocks , tacks, and
oilslicks.

Bally Sente has introduced the
nation's first no-hands video game,
Stompin', and a new concept titled
Floorplay.
Part of the Sente System of inter-
changeable video games, Floorplay is
controlled by a player moving his
entire body, not simply his hands .
Players don't use their hands at all.
The game works with a pressure -
sensitive pad attached to the base of
the game cabinet. The pad synchro-
nizes player foot position and weight
to the action on the screen .
Stompin' is the first Floorplay
game. Players crush an armada of
critters, including mice , frogs , and
spiders , trying to descend on a food
item in the middle of the screen. A
player's success depends either on the
amount of food remaining at game's
end or on the number of critters
stomped .
