December 19th marked the end of Atari's
highly successful Gauntlet II Player Quest
Contest. Operators should now switch off
the contest "secret code" option on their
Gauntlet II games.
'ID RESET THE OPl'IONS:
1. Enter self-test by turning on the
self-test switch.
2. Press the Warrior Magic button until
the Game Options screen is displayed. Note
that the default (recommended) settings
are in green.
3. Move the joystick up or down to select
the Enable secret Code option. Move the
joystick right or left to select the .liQ
~setting. Press the Warrior Magic button.
SUBJECT: Potential shock from solenoid
asserrbly on Skee Ball games
PROBLEM: It has come to our attention that
a potential electrical shock situation
exists from the Skee Ball solenoid
assent>ly if the solenoid, located within
the underside of the runway structure, is
touched during operation of the game.
S0111I'ION: Skee Ball offers to all of its
customers, at no charge, a retrofit kit
which eliminates the potential of the
above hazard. All concerned parties should
contact Skee Ball, Inc. 215/362-0300.
4. TUrn off the self-test switch.
Refer to the Gauntlet II game manual for
further information on how to set game
options.
By turning off the "Enable Secret Code"
operators will decrease the non-earning
game time of Gauntlet II where players
enter their name to obtain a secret code.
Gauntlet II's secret rooms and special
tasks remain as part of the unique game
play; however, players will not be asked
to enter their name if they successfully
complete a special task.
