Milpitas, CA
In response to many requests from the
industry, Atari has designed a m:mitor
shield for GAUNl'LET, their latest video
game. The monitor shield kit will be sold
to operators through their local Atari
Distributor. The kit includes a tinted
piece of plexiglass, and sealant foam
tape, six screws and spacers for rrounting
to the existing leak-proof monitor bezel.

According to Peter Takaichi, Director of
Design services for Atari, "We are certain
that the existing exposed monitor and
bezel are reasonably shatter-proof and
water-tight. our safety tests have proved
this beyond doubt."
Atari has desinged this monitor shield kit
especially for operators who may be
concerned about vandalism in unsupervised
locations.
Perform the following procedure to place
the acrylic shield on the video display
bezel:
1. On the bezel, locate the six screws
that correspond to the hole pattern of the
acrylic shield. Remove only these six
screws. Do not remove the center top and
center bottom screws.
2. Place six spacers into the holes that
previously held the screws.
3. lay the acrylic shield on top of the
bezel.
4. Secure the shield in place with 11/4
inch screws.

Atari Corp. showed a line-up of its old
video games at the Consumer Electronics
Show in the I.as Vegas Convention Center
this past January. Atari also announced
that a new game machine, first shown two
years ago but never shipped to stores,
would be reincarnated in a sleeker unit
with a smaller price -about $80.
Atari vice president Michael v. Katz, who
formerly worked for Mattel and Coleco, two
other fallen video-game giants, said that
the machine, the Atari 7800, would be
aimed at a new generation of 5-to-10
year-olds who were too young to
participate in the nation's Pac-Man craze
of several years ago.
