players. The BIKE CITY spellout
rollover lanes with a ball-to-ball
memory offer players clear objectives to
obtain double or triple bonus scores.
Star rollovers, two high scoring spinner
lanes and kickout holes also give
challenging skill shots and exciting ac-
tion to the game. And space age elec-
tronic sounds give SPACE RIDERS even
more attraction.
More options are available on SPACE
RIDERS to maximize versatility. 16
coin/ credit levels, 3 or 5 ball game, op-
tional match credit, replay or add-a-ball
as well as varying special levels and
awards are among the selectable
features.
Atari's built-in self-test feature is
designed for quick checking of all swit-
ches, solenoids, displays and options.
The thoroughly tested solid-state elec-
tronics, including a completely updated
system, insures optimum reliabili-ty.
"SPACE RIDERS is a players game,"
noted Frank Ballouz, National Sales
Manager. "It has many high scoring
strategy features that present exciting
play challenges and insure higher col-
lections.'' See this new game soon at all
Atari distributors.
Atari Football (Continued)
credible realism. Passes, tackles, in-
terceptions and even penalties are part
of Atari Football. Using a special Trak
Ball™ tp control the key players on of-
fense or defense, there is maximum
ability to run in any direction at op-
timum speeds. It is chalk talk in action
with X's for defense and O's for offense.
The teams run off the field and change
players at each ball turnover. And there
are two different types of scoring TD's:
6 points for a pass score and 7 points
scored for a running play TD.
Players' enthusiasm is evident as
they continue to add coins and increase
the time of play with the new add-a-coin
feature. The operator sets the time per
coin at 90, 120, 150 or 180 seconds. A
warning message at 30 seconds re-
minds players that they can still add a
coin for more time.
Enthusiastic players commented on
the game:
''You can do almost everything like
real football!''
''I like the way you can choose plays
and pass."
"You have good control over the
player and can move fast.''
Watching the players on Atari Foot-
ball, it becomes evident that the com-
petition and player involvement is a
high point of the game.
The Atari Football game comes in a
unique convertible cabinet design for
even more location versatility. A
special removable base allows the game
to be a stand-up pedestal at 41", or it
can be converted to a standard 31"
table game. Because of football's wide
appeal, this game is certain to attract
enthusiastic players of all ages in all
places.
Orbit (Continued)
With ten different game level selec-
tions from beginner to super expert
and eight new game feature modifica-
tions that can be added or deleted
throughout the game, ORBIT offers
even more variety for players. Control
is at the commander's fingertips to
maneuver the spacecraft, approach the
enemy and fire. If space station option
is selected a new dimension and inten-
sity is added. Players can return to
their station when partially destroyed
for repairs; sounds as well as a video
message warn the players to return to
base for more ammunition.
Players also control the length of the
game with the add-a-coin feature for
extra time. Operators can select one of
eight times per coin, ranging from 30
seconds to 4 minutes in 30 second in-
tervals.
The dramatic 3-D visual effects with
authentic constellations and the
futuristic stereo sound effects give
ORBIT even more attraction. "We feel
that ORBIT has many advantages over
other space games,'' reported Frank
Ballouz, Atari's National Sales
Manager. '' After. thorough research of
players' attitudes toward these types of
games, ORBIT has been designed to be
the ultimate, including all the extra
features to make it the best.''
ORBIT will be available soon through
all Atari distributors.
