ing 450 colleges and universities at-
tended the Association of College
Unions’ International Show held in
Minneapolis, Minnesota on March

ATARI
SOCCERTM
was
a
highlighted attraction at the show
and, for most attendees, it was a
preview introduction to the game.
College delegates told Atari repre-
sentatives that this game will be
successful at campuses due to the
high popularity of the sport nation-
wide. With Atari’s reps coaching,
show attendees intensely developed
The
Cabaret
Concept
game strategy and were soon
challenging others to compete on
ATARI SOCCER,
ASTEROIDS™ was also a favorite,
and campus delegates reported
record high earnings from cam-
puses across the country, ATARI
FOOTBALL™ and BASEBALL™
were also exhibited at the show.
Those who had never seen or played
these games were enthusiastic
about how realistically the games
simulate space adventure and
sports action. Those who were
familiar with ASTEROIDS, ATARI
FOOTBALL, and BASEBALL empha-
sized their satisfaction with these
products.
Atari has just introduced a
revolutionary new cabinet
design concept named “The
Cabaret”. A product of ex-
tensive human factors en-
gineering and market re-
search, the Cabaret cabinet
is specifically designed to
help open new types of loca-
tions and expand player/
profit potential.
The Cabaret’s advanced contemporary styling and compact
size is an ideal solution for use in a variety of more
sophisticated environments and for locations where space is
very hmited. Features include:
• Space-saving design
(occupies only four square feet of floor space).
• Rich wood grain side panels.
• Illuminated attraction panels.
• Less weight for easy mobility.
• Standard two mech coin door.
• Shielded monitor to eliminate glare.
Asteroids™ is the first Atari hit available in the new cabinet
design. Future games with proven popularity in standard con-
figurations will also be offered in the new Cabaret model.
Asteroids Cabaret wHl be available from Atari distributors
in limited quantities domestically
and
in larger quantities for
European distribution in June.
