The Fourth Review was held as scheduled.  There was a lot of good input on 
the game play and the team has started to implement some of those ideas 
already.  As per marketing's input, we have pushed back our Field Test date 
by one week, and the also the Production Release and FGA dates by one week 
as well.

It was decided to look into as deluxe sit-down cabinet version of the game, 
in addition to the upright version already planned. 

CABINET
The Field Test cabinet is being readied for Field Test.

SOFTWARE

Software changes to the game include:
	1) New Graphics have been added, including new title screen.
	2) New tunnel sections have been added.
	3) Continued to tune the game parameters.
	4) Added a new attract mode, a Scenario description that sets 
	   the tone for the game.
	5) Improved Enemy intelligence, and added a variable difficulty feature.
	6) Added new sounds to the game.

This week we will be working on:
	1) Capturing game play statistics and associated display screens as per
	   marketing input.
	2) Tuning all the waves on a time basis.
	3) Fixing bugs in readiness for Field Test.
	4) Adding 50 cents to start 25 cents to continue feature.
	5) Getting the game into the common area.
	6) Getting the VCR power detect working.
