true :-)

| 399.2 | A500 boards, actually... | LEDS::ACCIARDI | | Wed Mar 25 1987 11:24 | 11 |
| Actually, I heard a more detailed rumor that Bally and two other
manufacturers were in fact buying A500 motherboards for their machines.
With the cost of an A500 projected at $600-$650 retail, and if you
throw away the keyboard, floppy, case, and power supply, your probably
left with a $100 board, complete with RAM.
Makes a lot of sense, if you think about it.
What excites me is that now we can expect to see the ultimate arcade
games at about the same time as they appear in the arcades.

pg 2, in the HEARD AROUND column
"Commodore has been working hard to get away from the entertainment
image associated with its computers in the early days, but there's
still money to be made from its expertise in the area. Commodore
has signed a pact with Bally Mfg. to supply Amiga grapics technology
for development of the next generation of coin-op video games.
Bally plans to introduce its first Amiga-based arcade game, Moonquake,
at the Amusement Coin Machine Expo March 20-22."

| haven't heard much about Bally since way back when... Did moonquake
every make it out the door? (I haven't seen it for sale anywhere,
CBM got the rights to market the computer version if I recall the
agreement correctly)
Arcadia is supposed to be trying to get it's Amiga games into the
arcades.

| 399.6 | ATARI RULES IN THE VIDEO ARCADES | GUCCI::HERB | AL | Sat Sep 03 1988 11:59 | 10 |
| I go to the arcade often and I have nevere seen moonquake,I have
nevere seen any bally games either.Atari and Sega make the best
arcades.Atari has a game called final lap,it is like pole position
except 4 people race at the same time.Sega's Afterburner is my all
time favorite game to play also the most expensive.I wish they had
afterburner for the amiga so I did not have to pay a $1.00 each
game.

Read the notes here on Interceptor. While not as fast or flashy
as Afterburner, it is a far better flight/combat simulator, and
a lot more enjoyable to use.
