FGA has been moved forward by one week, as everything is proceeding smoothly.

An ECN was issued for the formed seat part so that the drawing corresponded 
better with the tolerances acutally used for the part.

Cabinet graphics have been released.

The game graphics are in pretty good shape.  Except for the ending 
sequence and some background for the "points" attract screen we are in 
pretty good shape.

The audio is also in pretty good shape except for the male voice and the 
Boost sound.  We are experimenting with a Yamaha sound for the boost right 
now in order to avoid priority problems.  I don't know what is going to 
happen with the male audio voice.

Program development continues.  We have added the Ultimate challenge as 
well as the Marker challenge level and all the hooks to add the Kill challenge 
level.  The Kill challenge level should be in by the end of the day.  We 
are trying to get a new version ready for field test that includes the new 
Challenge levels in order to firm up the "legs" of the game.  Other tuning 
and tweaking continues also.
