ATARI WORLD RALLY
WITH
25'' IIANTAREX MONITOR

SUBJECT
Some time ago, I purchased
several Chase HQ video games
with both 25 and 19 inch moni-
tors. I am now noticing about a
40% increase in
total earnings
with the big
monitor.

version with World Rally is

earning money, you need to
have a new 25" big screen
monitor for your game.
The numbers
that are important are 22-5/t'
wide and 16-5/8" deep and 20:
5/8" high. This monitor weighs
almost twice what a 19" moni-
