COIN-OP NEWS •••
ATARI TAKES SEGA TO COURT
Atari Games Corporation claims
an infringement on its video
game patents on the part of Sega
Enterprises.
The company is seeking a ban on
sales and compensation payment
from Sega USA. The complaint
has been lodged with the San
Francisco Federal District Court.
Atari claims Sega has unlawfully
used three patents for its scroll-
ing technology for horizontal and
vertical motion on video game
screens.
The amount of compensation
payment has not been disclosed.
NAMCO JOINS SONY
SEGA PASSES NINTENDO
Namco and Sony Corporation
announced that they have
reached a basic agreement on li-
censing for the next-generation
home video game system that will
be developed and produced by
Sony Computer Entertainment.
Under the agreement, Namco
will supply game software for the
new system under license, and the
two companies will cooperate on
R & D for a Namco arcade game
• based on Sony technology.
Namco intends to produce a
lineup of low-cost, high perfor-
mance coin-op game machines
and hopes that this will increase
its share of the arcade market.
Sega of America is poised to
overtake Nintendo in 1994 as
sales leader in the home video
game market. So says the private
research organization called the
Toy Retail Sales Tracking Ser-
vice, which showed that Sega's
sales in the home game machine
market topped Nintendo in both
July and August. Sega's 16-bit
machine, Genesis, came out
ahead of Nintendo's 16-bit prod-
uct and Sega CD has been out
since 1991-Nintendo's CD-Rom
product is due n~xt year.
Also, Sega is set to launch a bi-
directional cable game software
distribution service this March.
