STUN Runner has been pulled from Milpitas Golfland after giving us good feedback
on gameplay changes.  We were #2 for two weeks (behind Hard Drivin') on 25 
cent play!

We are continuing to tweak the game play as per input from field test.

Max Behensky has finished working on improving the vector mode of the GSP and 
has also improved overall performance for us.  Stephanie Mott has
made changes to the ADSP code to help us improve control response time and we
are curretnly implemneting the changes neede to take advantage of her efforts.

We are anticipating new audio including a new music track as well as some
additional voice and sound effects.

We have received the Field Test cabinet and set it up for test.  The game 
is currently in the Engineering Common area.

"Th-th-that's all folks!"
