Leisure's \
Robot
Hialeah, Fla . - " Robot is the name
for Allied Leisure's newly released
video game. Most operators and dis-
tributor s who saw Robot's sneak pre·
view at the MOA Convention will
remember it as receiving constant play
with many interested spectators, the
firm said .
An attraction of the game is that
one, two or four people can play . One
or two players can play against Robot ,
or two people can play against each
other or two team s can play against
each other. When not in use, Robot
plays a game against itself as a con-
stant attention getter .
The modern des ign of Robot's
wood grain form ica cabinet makes it
an attractive lJiece for any location,
the firm adds.

Future scanning projects are planned by the International Arcade Museum Library (IAML).
