(7/31/04) News update from Scott 

I have a bunch of new stuff to show at this years California 
Extreme show. 

First off, I have located a new Atari Prototype- Accelerator! This
game runs on System 2 hardware, and is a two person 'Stun Runner'
type game. You race on the outside of a tube, and try to hit all 
of the acceleration pads and avoid obstacles. The player controls 
his ship with a Major Havoc type, roller controller. I have also 
been lucky enough to locate some concept artwork for this game! 
Come see both at this years show! 

I will also be bringing the following games for you to play! Akka 
Arrh, Runaway, Arcade Classics, Lunar Battle, Bradley Trainer,
Cyberstorm, Dr. Sparkz Lab, Tenth Degree, Primal Rage II, a Crystal
Castles prototype, the Discs of Tron protoype, Hot Rod Rebels, Beavis
and Butthead, and Die Alien Scum. Also, a never-released Atari 
system 1 game. 

We will be having our anual Atari Panel discussion at 12 Noon on 
Sunday. This year we will have special guests Mike Hally and Owen
Rubin, Kelly Turner and Ed Logg. Mike Hally started at Atari, during
the days of Pinball, and worked on classic games such as Gravitar, 
Star Wars, Marble Madness, Stun Runner, Freeze, Relief Pitcher, Gauntlet
Legends and countless other games. Owen Rubin worked on such as Tunnel
Hunt, Space Duel, Major Havoc, Firefox and two other unreleased laserdisc
games. Ed Logg worked on Centipede, Gauntlet and Asteroids, earning 
himself the title of 'Golden Boy' and Kelly Turner worked on Champ 
Sprint, Arcade Classics, Badlands and countless other classics Atari games. 

In addition, we will be having an Atari 'Film Festival' on Sunday at
