BASIC CUSTOM PRICING.

Custom pricing creates an imaginar y currency exchange. In this currency
exchange, the coins of the re alm are “units.” Think of units as a type of c yber-currenc y, useful o nly within
the game software. By inserting coins, you purchase units.

Since units are only negotiable within game software, the system stores your units for you. W hen the
system receives enough units , it buys a game for you. The price of a game is one “credit.” You can think
of credits as a second form of cyber-currency.

Even though you’ve now bought one game, you may not be able to begin playing. In many pricing
schemes, you must buy two or more credits to beg in play. The idea here is som ething like a m inimum
order of goods at a stor e. That is, th e operator c an “shrink-wrap” two or more gam es in a package. You
can’t play unless you buy the entire package.

In a simple, quart er pric ing s chem e, the pl ayer ins erts one co in t o bu y
one unit. The system exchanges that unit for one cr edit. If CREDITS T O START contains the value one,
then play commences. A dollar bill buys four units.

Again, assuming quarter slots, here’s one way to implement 75¢
pricing… In this schem e, each coin that the player inserts buys one unit. The system exchanges three
units for one credit. CREDITS TO START contains the value two. To play, the p layer must pay for two
credits. In this scheme, a dollar buys four units.

credits. Also notice that if the player pays with a bill, the system throws in an extra unit.

MENU SYSTEM

WHAT IS THE MENU SYSTEM?

The game’s Menu S ystem is a series of aud iti ng, game adjustment and d ia gnostic screens. We call these
screens menus, becaus e the y pres ent opt ions in m enu-lik e list s. You c an eas il y access and appl y m enus
to optimize game performance. For instance…

•

Use game audits menus to assess game performance.

•

Use adjustment m enus to help you to customize gam e performance. For instance, you can restore

factory default game settings. You can also calibrate player controls for accuracy.

•

Use diagnostic menus to verify proper equipment operation.

ACTIVATING THE MENU SYSTEM

The game system responds by exiting G ame Mode and enter ing Diagnostic Mode. You can a lso invoke
the Menu System by turning on DIP bank U12, switch 8. (To reenter Game Mode, turn off switch 8.)

BASIC CUSTOM PRICING.

Custom pricing creates an imaginar y currency exchange. In this currency
exchange, the coins of the re alm are “units.” Think of units as a type of c yber-currenc y, useful o nly within
the game software. By inserting coins, you purchase units.

Since units are only negotiable within game software, the system stores your units for you. W hen the
system receives enough units , it buys a game for you. The price of a game is one “credit.” You can think
of credits as a second form of cyber-currency.

Even though you’ve now bought one game, you may not be able to begin playing. In many pricing
schemes, you must buy two or more credits to beg in play. The idea here is som ething like a m inimum
order of goods at a store. That is, the operator c an “shrink-wrap” two or more games in a package. You
can’t play unless you buy the entire package.

In a simple, quart er pric ing s chem e, the pl ayer ins erts one co in t o bu y
one unit. The system exchanges that unit for one cr edit. If CREDITS T O START contains the value one,
then play commences. A dollar bill buys four units.

Again, assuming quarter slots, here’s one way to implement 75¢
pricing… In this schem e, each coin that the player inserts buys one unit. The system exchanges three
units for one credit. CREDITS TO START contains the value two. To play, the p layer must pay for two
credits. In this scheme, a dollar buys four units.

can buy two units with one coin. The system exchanges each of these units for one credit. Notice th at
CREDITS TO START contains the value six. To play, the player must insert two more coins to pay for six
credits. Also notice that if the player pays with a bill, the system throws in an extra unit.
