Promotion oriented
Good to see you're pushing for
promotions in arcades (Play Meter,
May 15). It seems that there are still
some arcades whose success with pro-
motions prove it can be done with
results .
Just wanted to remind you and
those promotion oriented operators,
Promoting Your Game Center is still
available. This book of promotion
ideas for game centers can be pur-
chased for only $5 from Business
Builders.

New Orleans
If I were you, I would have the
AOE either at the Sheraton or the
Marriott- absolutely perfect locations
for everyone.
PI.A Y METER. July 1. 1985
P lease don't frown on the Shera-
ton, because you may have to hold the
show on two floors. R emember
AMOA was held at the Conrad Hilton
for years and two or three noors were
used. It actually makes litt le difference
when there are convenient esca lators
and elevators to serve the two noors. I
don't know what other factors are
invo lved, cost, faci lities , etc., but
having either the Sheraton or Marriott
will enhance the prospect of mak ing
New Orleans a permanent place for
the AOE.
Convenience means plenty to
everyone - manufacturers, operators,
distributors- and is the name of the
game at either hotel.

Disagrees with
compromise
I move for the termination of Leo
Droste's contract with AMOA and
that of the law firm of Jenner and
Block. I would move for the impeach-
ment of president (John) Estridge, but
his term is up anyway. To think we
paid such enormous sums of money to
cut our own throats!
T he Copyright Tribunal was given
the right by Congress to do us in, if you
will, so I don't fault them for trying to
get all they can. However , our side
didn't have to second the motion. This
is America. We had the right to know .
This country was founded because of
Taxation without Representation , and
now we find we're victims of a secret
agreement.
We stick together like sheep with
AMOA because we feel we should
hang together and we like to meet at a
show. That is the only function we ever
got out of AMOA anyway and we've
learned to accept it.
But by being one voice, we can get
signed away by one stroke of a pen -
and worse yet - totally without our
knowledge . We were told to be quiet so
as not to upset negotiations that would
be to our benefit. Fine!
But we , who are responsible for
payment , should have been notified
before it was set in cement.
