off er three games for a dollar and it would
work reasonably well.
TECHNICAL TOPICS
Some technical topics were raised: Intermit-
tent operation of videos; this was attributed
to inadequate grounding systems, faulty
back door interlocks and flaky power sup-
plies. Some operators still have problems
installing coin meters to their converted
games (standardization should help here).
Installing smoke alarms as game security
devices, and the ever-reoccurring problem of
static. The remedies for this phenomenon
ranged from carpets and mats in front of the
games (or operating the entire gameroom on
tile), to spraying anti-static spray around
each game. Also, installing plastic coin slots
e was said to help.
Data East Ghost-
busters ROM Update
Data East Service Department
San Jose, California
SUBJECT
Data East has released a ROM update for
their 3-player Ghostbusters upright game.
CHANGES
This update makes the game less difficult to
play and easier to reach the higher levels in
the game. This should improve player re-
sponse to the game and increase earnings.
INSTALLATION
The update consists of three RO Ms that are
easily accessible on the top board. The
update is available through your local dis-
tributor, contact them for availabiity.
CONCLUSION
All in all, this seminar was not as advertised
but it was informative and valuable (as long
as you were an operator and not a tech) and
professionally presented by the three mod-
erators. ACME has this and all seminars
from this year's Expo on audio tape. Contact
