increase in earnings, a decrease in those
long ball-tiae values, and aore challenge

ATARI IIIUflll DES SELF TEST
By Dermis Brennan
Active Alluseant Coapany
Philadelphia, PA
There are tNO variations of the self test
used on Atari's INDIANA JMS AND THE
TEMPLE CF IXDt; the full self test 110de,
and a shorter self test ■ode.
The full self test consists of siKteen
separate screens (see chapter two of
operators ■anuall. To enter the full self
test ■ode, you ■ ust turn on the self test
SNitch before turning game power or,. If
the self test switch is turned on while
gaae pc>Mer is on, the game will enter a
shorter test ■ode.
This test will cycle back to the first
test (SNitch test) after the histogram for
level 6, thus skipping the hardware tests.
