First, Namco has sent us SKY KID DELUXE, which is now up an running in ID
common area.  This doesn't appear to be that much different from the original         
(at least up to level 6) except they've added new frills..snow in the 
forground, night flying, etc.  We will probably want to get this one out on
test fairly soon so if you're interested, see it within the next few days.

Other competitor activity:

1.  Nintendo has been shipping samples of "CHOICE 10" which is a player-select
pack of 10 games.  Many of the games are repeats of previous VS. s/w, some are
supposedly new.  The cabinet houses all their VS. controllers:  gun, buttons, 
and joystick.  This dedicated piece is targeted at casual locations that may   
not have had any of their previous system units.  Distributor price:  $1995

2.  Bally Midway has placed test pieces out on their 3-player simultaneous, 
add-a-coin, buy-in game called RAMPAGE.  Developed in-house and scheduled for
add-a-coin, buy-in game called RAMPAGE.  Developed in-house and scheduled for
(whoops) delivery mid-August at distributor price of $2200.  Initial earnings
are high, in the range of Super Sprint initial $.  

3.  Sega is shipping the ride-on Enduro Racers.  Only one locally so far seems
to be in the San Mateo Gold Mine where it earned $830 in its first week.  By
next week it should be in some of the local Golflands.  (Price for SD $4395
UR $2795).  

4.  Sente is supposedly trying to get a gun-type game out on test in Sunny-
vale Golfland (for their system), but it hasn't worked the last few attempts.

5.  Konami is shipping a 2-player simul, add-a-coin, buy-in piece called
Salamander in Europe and Japan.  (Coin Slot reports they sold 400 already
in Europe, and Namco earnings reports show it making top yen in some of their
locations).  From photos, it looks like an outdated Galaga-style game.  No
known price, delivery yet for U.S.  

That's about it for now, Mary
