When Stampley puts his mind to it, he can record some of the most commercially palatable tunes in country music today.

honky tonk forays, but it is the slower-paced efforts that steal the show here. Exceptional cuts include “All These Things,” “Give Me The Green Light” and the title track.

38 Cash Box/April 4, 1981 COIN IVMCHINE CHI01GO CHyTTTER Tradesters who attended the recently held Amusement Operators Expo in New Orleans (March 12-14) brought back very favorable reports about the convention. D. Gottlieb & Co. sponsored its own exhibit at the show and was well represented in product and executive personnel. While most of the Chicago-based manufacturers did not host exhibits, they did have people at the show and a number of their products were displayed by area distributors. The concensus among returnees was that this year’s event, which was AOE's second annual convention, drew a larger attendance and a considerably improved traffic flow on the exhibit floor. AOE offers an extensive seminar program, which is an important

highlight of the show, and a big draw, but a source of complaint as well, since it took a toll on visitor traffic last year. This year, however, the format was revised to avoid any conflict with

exhibit hours and everyone seemed to agree it was a major improvement. BALLY'PINBALL DIVISION'S director of sales Paul Calamari was at the AOE, surveying operator response to a new Bally prototype called “Eight Ball Deluxe." Sound familiar? Go- ing back about three years, the original "Eight Ball" ranked as the biggest selling pinball

ever produced by Bally — and it still holds this distinction. Can you imagine what the new version will do — with its elaborate speech package, abundant skill shots, great artwork, etc.? This one is down the road a bit, though, so at present the Bally plant is concentrating on domestic delivery of the hit selling “Flash Gordon" pinball. It's been earning beautifully and is quite in demand, as marketing vice president Tom Nieman pointed out. DATELINE FLORIDA, home of Centuri, Inc. and the hot selling "Phoenix" videogame. At the rate it’s moving now, the model will be in production through April — and possibly beyond, according to communications director Laura Kreter. The new "Route 16” video game, licensed by Centuri from Tehkan Int'l Corp./Sun Electronics Cor p. (Japan) has been scheduled for sample shipment in April. The cocktail sample will be shipped from Japan but will eventually be produced in the Centuri style at the Florida facility, which is where the upright is being manufactured. And speaking of cocktail tables, Kreter said the factory has been hearing lots of good comments about its table design. STERN'S MARKETING CHIEF Tom Campbell advised that the factory is getting ready to release “Scramble," its next video game. Watch for samples very soon, with production scheduled for around mid-April. As tests revealed, “the enthusiasm for Scramble will be " just as stong as it was for ‘Berzerk’ — and we all know what happened with that one. In- cidentally, Berzerk is still very much in production and Tom said there's been no let-up in sales. The factory is also in the process of sampling Stern’s new multiple ball bi-level playfield pinball, called “Lightning." DATELINE SANTA CLARA, where Universal USA president Paul Jacobs is enjoying a “sales panic" created by the firm's current selling “Space Panic” video game. Since the

model's recent modification, Jacobs said it’s in even greater demand — to the point where

“we'll probably continue building it through the summer months." The model was very well received at the AOE convention, where Universal hosted a suite of four booths. Jacobs had high praise for the show and was pleased to see a number of Universal distribs in attendance. He was accompanied to the convention by staffers Hal Watner, Hal Gafford, Mac Sugita, Doug Turley and Dean Wilson. HEARD FROM Game Plan’s marketing vice president Ken Anderson that the firm's been getting some “super reports” on the upcoming video “Tank Battalion," which the company licensed from Namco. Also on the subject of video games, the “Killer Comet" model is expected to be sample shipped very shortly. What's more, Anderson advised that the trade can look forward to a full line of Game Plan videos to follow. Several games have been licensed and, in addition, a good deal of in-house engineering will be going into a big video program, he said, along with a continuing emphasis on innovative flipper product as well.

Regarding the latter, watch tor “Global Warfare, " Game Plan’s next scheduled pinball machine. DATELINE SAN DIEGO — Gremlin country, where a full contingent of company brass — including Frank Fogelman, Duane Blough, Bob Harmon, Jack Gordon, Steve Margolin and Brad King — were present at the New Orleans AOE. The Gremlin exhibit attracted heavy traffic, as we learned from ad chief Lynne Reid and. along with "Astro Blaster" and “Space Tactics," the factory’s upcoming “Pulsar” was quite a crowd pleaser.
