The challenge of a road race
amidst the dangers of a destruction
derby is the essence of excitement in
the new Exidy video, Crash.
Crash is the latest offering in the
driving game field and centers
around head-on collision possibilities
that force the driver to use caution as
he attempts to drive an effective race
by piling up points as he moves his
computerized car over special speed
dots .
Computerized cars block the
racers path as exciting Crash sounds
enhance the activity .
The player must also use the
accelerated speed button while he
attempts to avoid crashes by switch-
ing lanes .
The Exidy video also offers a daily
high score display and an optional
"Beat This Score" read-out.
Crash is designed to be operator-
adjustable as to coinage and plays .
68
Max , the first phonograph in
Rock-Ola's 1980 line , is now on
display at distributor showrooms .
The new compact 160 presents
microprocessor play and profit fea -
tures and a compact cabinet mea-
suring 34 1/ 4 inches wide .
Max includes random compli-
mentary play , the "Hit Tracker ," and
the "Profit Setter ." According to
Rock-Ola distributors , these three
features on Rock-Ola's Model 478
Mystic have proven to be especially
effective in stimulating added play
and profit.
Random complimentary play can
be set by the operator to randomly
select a record at varying times within
a 10 to 30 minute or 20 to 60 minute
sequence after the last record has
been played .
Rock-Ola's "Profit Setter" gives
the operator flexibility in program-
ming each phonograph for a combi-
nation of the best price and the most
effective time sequence of random
complimentary play . A bank of
twenty-four tiny switches enables the
operator to make the desired
changes qUickly .
The "Hit Tracker" contains a
computerized memory bank that will
instantly tell the operator what's hot
and what's not. Hit Tracker will
display exactly how many times (up
to 999) each selection has been
played , starting with either the most
played or the least played record .
Faster . simpler , more reliable
record selection is accomplished on
Max through use of the new
"Opto-Sensor" selector. A tiny beam
of light combined with microproces-
sors speed up record selection time
and simplify service .
