Soccer
Makes
U.S.
Debut (continued)
''Soccer as a U.S. sport is enjoy-
ing an incredible surge of popular-
ity both as a spectator and as a
player sport. Amateur and prof es-
sional leagues are growing in every
city in the U.S. And that interest
extends from young children in
AYSO leagues right up to older
players. That means Atari Soccer is
going to be ideal for street or arcade
locations,'' he continued.
Atari Soccer simulates the real-
ism and cnallenging piay action of
an actual game. Exclusive Atari
Trak-Ball™ controls allow instant
movement and control of key
players in any direction.
The game can be played by either
two or four players. In the four
player game, each player plays
with two controllable men and
allows cooperation between team-
mates. The two player version
allows each player one controllable
man.
There are a variety of options to
challenge players including Kick/
Pass and Offsides. Operator options
maximize earnings like Add-A-
Coin™ continuous play, adjustable
game times, coinage and lan-
guages.
'' Atari is planning some exciting
promotional support for the
game," Ballouz said. ''We want to
make sure players don't miss the
challenge and competitive intensity
this game offers.

Attention Atari Sprint 4 Owners!
As a result of many field requests
by SPRINT 4™ owners, Atari has
developed ALL-NEW SPRINT 4
ROMS to modify the existing game
play . The new ROMS increase
player challenge and competition,
while maintaining the excitement
of driving the SPRINT 4.
The new ROMS are designed to
decrease the size of the cars, limit
the number of drones according to
one-, two-, and three-player games,
and allow a player bonus for the
high score in a four-player game
(option selectable). Any start
switch starts all players with credit
and subsequent coins now start
players immediately into the game.
Operators can obtain the new
SPRINT 4 modification ROMS for
under $1.50. Contact your local
Atari distributor for information.
