Summary: Bally Sente using A500

I have checked with one of my clients and they said I can tell you that
Bally Sente does have a contract with Commodore.  Bally Sente is
releasing its first coin-op game (what you call arcade) using the A500
board along with custom (and proprietary) hardware (which includes
enhanced sound).  This is only the first of many projects using this
architecture.  Bally Sente showed off a version of this first game
(called MoonQuake) at the recent ACME show in New Orleans.  The
brochure they passed out at this show included a picture of the A500
board along with their custom hardware.

A couple of opinions (my own, not Bally Sente's):

This first game (MoonQuake) is either in the process of being
manufactured or will be very soon (no, not RSN, really soon!), but
it can take a month or two to hit the streets.

Although Bally Sente is one of my clients, I think this game (written
by Bob Smith of Imagic and lots of VCS hits fame, along with a group of
very talented artists, musicians, etc.) will be HOT.  The game has
changed alot over the last few months and has gotten much better even
since ACME.  Ok, they are a client, but it is nice.

I can't really say much else, so...
