R90U·20
Video JUllBbOK
Rowe International has introduced
the single-play er R90V-20 Video
Jukebox that incorporates one VCR
tape player and provides 20 video
selections in addition to 160 audio
selections.
Designed to make it profitable for
lower-traffic locations to have video
jukeboxes, the R90V-20 costs less and
requires lower monthly video-tape
rental fees than larger units. Four
kinds of programmin g are available:
rock, pop, country, and urban con-
temporary.
According to Rowe, field tests indi-
cate increased revenues from video
jukeboxes and that the 20-selection
video jukebox will pay for itself in less
than two years:
The R90V-20 Video Jukebox can
accommoda te a second VCR player
to increase its capacity to 40 video
selections. For high -volume locations,
Rowe offers the R90V-40 Video Juke -
box with double VCR players and
three programmin g choices.

Atari Games has sought to recreate
the player appeal of its classic Sprint 2
in the new Super Sprint , a driving
game for one, two, or three players
competing against each other and
against computer-co ntrolled cars.
Players choose a car and a starting
track (eight are available) before
racing for five laps. At the end of each
heat the players go to the winner's
circle to see their racing statistics,
rankings, best lap times , and average
lap times . When players beat the com-
puter-contro lled cars, the race goes
on to a more challenging track.
During the race, players compete
to collect gold wrenches that appear
randomly on each track. The wrenches
can be traded for custom-car features
such as turbo acceleration and super
traction. There are fi ve levels of the
features , or 15 custom-car bonuses.
Players who "max" their cars are
given an unlimited bonus option of
increased score.
Super Sprint has an add -a-coin
feature , detailed animation , and simu-
lated race -track sound effects.
