NOTICE
Since we included the modification of
Lunar Lander to Asteroid, we have had a
strong demand for this product. Because
of our normal business in conjunction
with this demand and outrageous long
lead times for materials, it makes it almost
impossible to honor our outstanding
orders on schedule. The purpose of this
notice is to inform our outstanding cus-
tomers that all orders will be honored as
soon as the product is available.
Special notice to pre-paid orders-All
orders will be honored with special priority.
In conclusion, we appreciate all orders
and we know that you will be very satisfied
with the modification as our other custom-
ers are, who have already received this
kit.
Stern Electronics, Inc., Chicago,
announces plans for production of
its latest video game-SCRAMBLE
-scheduled for distribution begin-
ning in late April.
SCRAMBLE, a solid-state one-or
two-player game, has already proven
popular in selected test markets.
The game explodes with non-stop
play/action and synchronized sound
effects.
Object of the game is for the
player to navigate his aircraft through
enemy territory and successfully
penetrate five Scramble defense
systems; then reach and destroy
the enemy base.
Innovative game and scoring
features include:
Player moves aircraft up and
down, accelerates and decelerates
by moving "joy stick" control.
Player destroys attackers by
pressing Laser and bomb buttons.
Player earns extra fuel for air-
craft with destruction of enemy
fuel tanks.
Player is awarded additional air-
craft at designated score.
Level of difficulty increases after
peretration of each defense system
