Play Meter

~QUIPMENT POLL Buying the right game is a "make-or-break" proposition for the operator, who must have both monthly and ongoing analyses of game performance. This chart is designed to give the operator information he needs to guide his purchases. The "longevity indicator" will tell him how long the game has remained high on the chart. The number of months on the Top 10 is important, as is the total number of months on the chart. Future months will include how long the game was in coin-op before being released for the home market. Look to the chart each month for additional polling information. VIDEO & PINBALL COMBINED GAME 1. TMNT 2. Smash TV 3. G-LOC 4. Final Fight 5. Fire Shark 6. Whirlwind 7. Four Trax 8. Hard Drivin' 9.
