BLADES OF BLOOD

SAMURAI SHODOWN III

This game is still a strong earner. There are so many options to this game, the player will keep coming back for more. According to Mark Hain, Senior Editor/EGM, "The best feature is that you can pick to be good or evil, and your character will be different depending on which you pick". Don't miss out on any more earnings, buy one (or two, or three, etc.) today! Contact your local authorized SNK Distributor for details.

PUZZLE DE PON

For those of you looking for a "Bust-A-Move", but can't find one, this title is for you. Similar in game play to "Bust-A-Move", PUZZLE DE PON has added strategic elements that add more depth and challenge to the game. You can play it alone against the timer, or challenge a friend to combat mode. Whatever option you choose, you will have a ton of fun. Great for the Tavern market, and a great mix for your NEO GEO.

COMING

ATTRACTIONS

NEW GOLF GAME

Yes, it really is coming soon. This title is a realistic golf simulation. For those of you that attended the AMOA 1995 in New Orleans, you were able to get a gander at the prototype version of this excellent golf title. For those of you that did not attend, you will have to wait and see.... it will be worth the wait.

KUNIO'S DODGEBALL

Let's take a stroll down memory lane with this title. KUNIO'S DODGEBALL is unlike any other dodgeball game you played as a child, (it doesn't hurt when you get hit in the face with the ball). This game is filled with fast action that requires skill and strategy. This title is a great mix for your NEO GEO.

Other various titles will be shown at the upcoming 1996 ACME Show this March in Orlando, FL.... Come by our booth (#901) and check it out. You won't be disappointed

MESSAGE FROM TRACY T ATE

NATIONAL SALES MANAGER

I recently returned from the Nightclub & Bar Expo that was held in Las Vegas, and I was very impressed with both the attendance and the excitement. It was very refreshing to be involved in a show where the patrons were looking for ways to move forward in a positive way.

They were playing video and redemption games, and they were laughing and having fun. This renewed my vision of what this industry is all about, entertainment! The unfortunate part of the show was the fact that many of these location owners were not aware of the many products available. Like all other industries, the Nightclub and Bar owners are looking for a way to bring in more customers and hold on to them longer, and I believe that our industry has the answer; valuable entertainment at an affordable price.

We at SNK previewed an art deco mini capsule crane and our countertop conversions. Both these products were greeted with enthusiasm. Our countertop conversions were complete with a golf game and a puzzle game. At SNK, we offer full action video games not available with other countertops at an affordable price.

The mini-capsule cranes were loaded with jewelry, pogs, coin purses, key chains, etc.. The options are endless as long as the product fits in the capsule. Many bar owners wanted to utilize this small crane to promote their location with tickets to sports events. free drinks, free entrees, a ticket to win CDs , and many more great ideas. These owners recognized the versatility and value of this mini-crane.

In summary, my point is that we must all look at how we can best promote our industry within other industries. We at SNK are working on ways to move forward and we are looking for ideas from readers like you. If you have ideas on promotions, pick up the phone and give us a call. All it takes is team work, a little ingenuity, and a lot of effort.
