TIME WARNER TOUR

(4 / 6)


The meeting and tour which was conducted with the AD HOC
(Time Warner subsidiary companies Management Committee)
was completed extremely successfully yesterday.

The people who went around Atari/Tengen were very much
impressed with our high level of technology, the well-
organized and functional facility and also with the
good viable people of the company.  I thank you very
much for all the cooperation you have rendered to make
this meeting/tour successful.

Thank you very much,
Hide Nakajima

You mean we fooled 'em again?

Results of Monday's TW meeting and tour

(6 / 6)


	I want to thank all of you for your efforts in preparing for
the visit by the Time Warner representatives on Monday.  The office
and lab areas were impressively clean and organized.  The tour lasted
approximately two hours and visited almost all of our design areas.
Moto Frenzy served as a representative project that was used to tie
the various design processes together.  Thus, the ID area had
concept drawings and a deluxe unit, PCB design had a GX2 hardware
schematic and Moto Frenzy board set for illustration, and the tour
visited the Moto Frenzy lab.

	The group that visited is called the "TWI AD HOC COMMITTEE":
TWI stands for Time Warner Inc.  This group meets generally on a
quarterly basis at a different company each session, either a 
company within the Time Warner organization, or a company with a
key technology that has ramifications for the entertainment or
media businesses of Time Warner.  The reason for having the
meeting at Atari Games was for both the technology and organizational
aspects.  In addition, the Ad Hoc committee had their general
meeting in the afternoon to report on current items, June '92
Consumer Electronics Show (CES), status of HDTV, and Cable TV
technologies, particularly the evolution to digital TV transmission.

	The Ad Hoc committee was founded to provide a forum for
communicating and evaluating the technologies within the TWI
organization, as well as developing contacts that will promote
partnerships within the organization to improve individual and
overall corporate success.  As a result of this meeting, we now
have several contacts with Warner Music, CD Manufacturing, and
CD development groups that will be beneficial.  I will be
discussing more about these particular contacts with specific
design groups, and teams.  But if you have an interest in
following up sooner, let me know.

	To illustrate the breadth of the group, representatives
of Warner Bros., American Television & Communications, Time
Warner corporate, Time Warner Telecommunications, Warner Cable,
Warner Special Products, WB Records, Warner Home Video, WEA
Manufacturing, HBO, and Time publishing participate in the
Ad Hoc group.

	As Mr. Nakijima reported, the group was very interested
in the products, technologies, and design capabilities of
Atari Games.  I would count on some new opportunities to
promote, distribute, or improve our products based on this initial
event.

	Once again, thanks for your time and efforts in completing
this successful meeting.
