MESSAGE FROM TRACY TATE NATIONAL SALES MANAGER I would like to thank all of the operators who dropped by our booth at last months ACME show. I appreciate your interest in the SNK product line. Your comments and ideas are very important to us. There were also quite a few of you that did not make it out to Orlando, but did attend your local distributor's post ACME Open houses. I was very happy to see all of you as well. Over the past 12-18 months, you have requested that SNK offer more than fighting games for the NEO GEO system. We have come through in a big way and answered the call. We introduced eight future titles with a diversity that is unmatched in NEO GEO's six year history (information on all of these titles are in this newsletter). With this year's diversity it is time to upgrade your system with a fresh new title that has been a long time coming. I had a lot of positive conversations with many of you at the open houses and it was great to see your response towards the new cartridges. I also appreciate the time that you spent with me to discuss SNK's future product . Conversation and communication including the exchange of ideas is very important between operators, distributors, and manufacturers, this will assist all of us in our future prosperity. It is you that can make a difference. You need to communicate with us to create a better tomorrow. If you cannot make it to an open house, call us and spend some time to help us answer your needs. Last but not least, please support this new diverse software, this will send SNK a clear signal that when we answer your call, you will stand behind us. Remember, we asked, you answered, and we responded. By Tracy Tate - SNK National Sales Manager

EASTERN REGIONAL SALES MGR. What's new from ACME 1996!! Well the big show came and product was a plenty. It was great to see so many friends in the industry and meet some new
NEO GEO supporters in the process. It was good clean fun playing the new games on the floor, going to one of the many social events, and "thumbwrestling" in the bar. The new titles from SNK included fighters, drivers, shooters, action, and sports. How is that for diversity? In many of my previous travels, I have heard there is a need for a good mix and variety of games for the NEO GEO system. If this is the case, than the 1996 ACME show delivered. More specifically, the show attendees really liked Turf Master Golf in our countertop conversion kit. It was funny when an operator would walk up to an old Merit 2808 cabinet, with our kit in it, look at his buddy and say, "Hey, we got about 15 in the warehouse we could convert to NEO GEO!"It's like a light bulb came on above his head when he finally saw what a countertop conversion can look like. Both the countertop conversion kit and NEO TURF MASTERS are available at authorized SNK distributors. We also received good response from "Path of the Warrior/Art of Fighting 3", the first motion capture video from SNK. The fluid motion of this fighter is a definite asset to the Art of Fighting Series, and a few of the characters cracked me up too. Many were surprised with the addictive nature of "Metal Slug", a great action game where one or two players battle in various combat scenes against the "enemy". It's like Mario and Luigi, but the characters have machine guns, and rocket launchers, or maybe they climb into a tank. The graphics are very detailed and it's easy for a player to become immersed into this action game. Both of these games will be available soon at authorized NEO GEO distributors. There is also some NEO GEO Puzzles and Drivers coming out in the near future that I am excited about. If you have any questions. please contact me at the numbers listed below. I'll do what I can for you.
