SUBJECT
This is the first year for a coin-op game show in San
Antonio and advance registration is up from last
year. Attending the show gives you a preview of a
lot of equipment that some of the local distributors
might not have on their floors. And the seminars
are always of value.
UsEIT
One thing that needs to be done more at the shows
is letting the manufacturer know if you have a
problem. An example of this is the dedicated games
now being produced.
Some of the games in the past have had press board
floors and fronts. Many of these games will not
make much more money than paying for them-
selves at best. This leaves us with a cabinet to be re-
kitted. If the base gets wet, we can sweep the game
up into the trash! We don't need a repeat of the first
''Disposable Cabinet" (Double Dragon).
Look at how Williams builds their cabinets and
then listen why some others can't do it. Look every-
thing over and tell the manufacturer what you
want. This is how things get better.
GOTTA GRIPE?
Some things may seem too minor to mention, like
breaking flipper links or new power supplies going
out. How about new games not working out of the
crateoryoucan'tgetpartsfora$10,000game(Steel
Talons) for 4 weeks. What about CD boxes ruining
their discs. Speak up! This is your opportunity.
We as operators need the manufacturer-and they
need us. Get to know them at the show and the open
houses that follow at your local distributor. You
will find most of them are very concerned people.
Besides, as the old saying goes "The squeaky wheel
~ets the grease".
