Operators were mailed "ballot sheets" listing games in active operation in U.S. locations and game centers and asked to "rate"
the earningper10rmance of each on the "1 to 10" measure: 10for "power-house earnings, "g for "excellent," 8 for "very good
game, " 7 for "good game, "6 for "decent game, "5 for ''lust average, "4 for "below average, "etc. The written votes were tallied up and divided by the actual number of times the specific game was rated. Hence, the decimal points.
The percentage of the surveyed arcade and street location operators who have the item on location. No upright videos rated

II faut reconnaitre qu'une vaste
place dans I'AM.O.A etait tenue
par un type de jeu qui eChappe au
domaine d'activite de I'exploitant
fran<;:ais.
IIs'agit d'appareils qui, au lieu de
parties gratuites, distribuent aux
joueurs des points sous forme de
ticket.
A tout seigneur, tout honneur.
Nous commencerons par ATARI qui,
ces derniers mois, caracole en tete
des classements par recette aux
U.S.A Sur ce stand, la promotion
PIT-FIGHTER eta it assuree par un
catcheur rappelant que, pour la
premiere fois, ATARIpropose un jeu
de combat.
En fonction du nombre de points
gagnes, Ie joueur echange ses tickets contre un ou plusieurslots.
Inutile de vous preciser que dans
les pays ou i1ssont autorises, ces
appareils font un veritable malheur,
les lots mis en jeu pouvant aller du
plus insignifiant au plus important et
constituant une fabuleuse motivation pour les clients.
Les plus grands fabricants se penchent sur ce terrain en pleine expansion, a I'image de GOTTLIEB
PREMIER
qui, a cote de son dernier
flipper. proposait deux appareils qui,
bien que d'une esthetique proche
du pinball, s'averaient etre des appareils de type distributeur de tickets.
Si Ie theme n'est pas veritablement nouveau, par contre, Ie procede de digitalisation de I'image
donne une qua lite graphique veritablement exceptionnelle. Un coup
d'essai qui va certainement pousser
les ingenieurs d' ATARI a poursuivre
dans la voie du jeu de combat.
Autre attraction sur ce stand, Ie
RACE DRIVIN, un cockpit qui presente plus qu'un air de fa mille avec
Ie celebre HARDDRIVINpuisqu'i1reprend en les ameliorant les recettes
de son aine, permettant cette fois
au joueur de choisir entre differents
modeles de voitures de sport ou de
decouvrir les difficultes de I'autocross.
G.MANTEL
en compagnie
de MM. PIERRE et
DESROUSSEAUX
Une autre surprisede ce Salon fut
I'absence des simulateurs aussi 50phistiques qu'encombrants que nous
avions pu decouvrir a la J.AM.M.A
On peut penser qu'avant de les
lancer a I'assaut des marches internationaux, les createurs preferent
les roder sur leur marche interieur.
Mais rassurez-vous, I'AM.O.A 90
presentait tout de meme ce qui se
fait de mieux dans I'automatique et
not Ie;notJe;e;ommesattaches a vous
Egalement presente chez ATARL
GUMBALLRALLY, un jeu de conduite
original qui, malheureusement. ne
delivre que des tickets a echanger
contre un lot. Peu de chance de Ie
rencontrer dans une exploitation
franc;:aise,compte tenu de la legislation actuelle !
Mais si ATARI a incontestablement
Ie vent en poupe, WILLIAMS BALLY
semble etre un rival a la hauteur de
I'enjeu.
Le geant du flipper n'entend pas
rester sur sa position et, sous I'impul_: __
