Watch next month this area will be fill-
ed with Atari video games.
The fluorescent disco playfield on
Atari's innovative Video Pinball™
game is attracting high revenues as
reported by locations of all types.
Players everywhere are responding
favorably to its unique, colorful, 3-D
effect video playfield image, in addi-
tion to the fast, relistic play action on
this one to four player video game.
''It is ideal for the street location
that doesn't have space for a pinball
but could generate the play profits
from one," noted Frank Ballouz. "Ad-
ditionally, it is collecting extremely
well in locations alongside some of the
best pinballs," he repor1ed.

advanced signature analyzer were
pointed out. Practical applications and
use. in defining problem areas were
explained thoroughly.
Those who attended received a com-
plete review of the new pinball elec-
tronic features. Atari's Field Service
specifically planned this special
distributor teehnician school to help
assure the best support for the new
game. Additional general seminars on
the SUPERMAN Pinball will be
planned in the near future.
Su b s (Continued)
mode is also an option offered to
increase location versatility.
This challenging new game will
encourage even more play with its
unique visual experience. The players
try to outmaneuver their opponents.
Each player sees only the view of the
sub he is controlling. Only the oppo-
nent's missiles are seen; their sub is
visible only when it crashes or when
hit by the opponent. The sonar scans
the area to locate enemy subs and help
direct the hits. This adds up to
suspenseful action and strategy play.
As previewed at the fall trade shows,
SUBS has a special attraction with its
dual screen design. Even more play
features have now been added, making
SUBS an exceptional game experience
for players. Atari's proven solid state
circuitry and simplified self-test
system are included to assure reliabil-
ity. "We feel confident that SUBS will
attract high play activity in many dif-
ferent game locations," noted Frank
Ballouz, Atari's National Sales
Manager. SUBS is certainly another
innovative first assuring Atari's
leadership in the industry.
