A1 Bettelman of C.A. Robinson Co.,
Los Angeles commented on Triple Hunt
“As usual. Atari has come up with
something completely different from the
ordinary game with three games in one
unit. We are looking forward to Triple
Hunt and believe it will be one of the top

arcade pieces available.”
A1 Rodstein of Banner Specialty Co.,
Philadelphia said, “Triple Hunt is an
attractive game with the three-dimen-
sional target effect. The concept of being
able to change the theme of the game at
will should prolong the income producing
life of the unit considerably. For very
large arcades 1 would recommend placing
three of the units in a bank. We plan to
