Hello

	I am happy to announce that we have a "NEW" employee to welcome
back to Atari. Mike Hally has become a permanent fulltime employee. His
title is Senior Game Designer and is the most senior member of the
Game Design Group which reports to me. For the time being his office
will be in Rusty's old office which is waiting for a desk.

	Mike, as most of you know, has over 14 years of history with
Atari. He started here back when we had a pinball division. Since that
time he has be a crucial core team member on a large number of Atari 
Games past classics. Star Wars, Gravitar, Firefox, Temple of Doom, 
Road Runner, APB, and Blasteroids to name a few. Recently he has been a 
serving as a contracter helping out on Skull and Crossbones, Marble 
Madness 2, Relief Pitcher and Moto-Frenzy.

	In his new position he will, as usual, wear many hats. He will 
be a Project Leader and Game Designer.  He will also be helping me grow 
the relatively new Game Design Group.  I look forward to the great 
products his continued dedication to Atari Games and the coin-op industry 
will bring as well as the influence he will have on defining the Game 
Design Group. 

	He is a fairly shy and quiet guy so please stop him in the hall 
and make him feel welcome.

Welcome Back Mike!
