The schedule is accurate as of August 30, 1995, but locations and dates are subject to change at any time without notice. Visit Electronics Boutique on the dates and at the mall locations listed below for hands-on gaming action on the best super systems including Jaguar 64. DATES CITY MALL --------------- ------------ ---------------------- September 1- 3 Minneapolis Mall of America September 9-10 Dallas Vista Ridge Mall September 16-17 Miami Sawgrass Mills September 23-24 Albany Crossgates Mall Sep-Oct 30- 1 Philadelphia Oxford Valley Mall October 7- 8 Buffalo Walden Galleria October 14-15 Columbus Eastland Mall October 21-22 San Jose Vallco Fashion Mall October 28-29 San Bruno Tanforan Park November 3- 5 Los Angeles Del Amo Fashion Center November 11-12 Burbank Media City Center Jaguar gamers are encouraged to visit these events and offer feedback on the activity. We'd (Atari) would be delighted to hear back as to how you think they went and we would love you to feel free to make certain all games are running properly (Jaguar games usually have lots of joypad switches and tour visitors sometimes like to play around and turn sounds and options off, then walk away ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coming October 6, Plug in the WIRE! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mr. Ted Hoff and Mr. Ron Beltramo were excitedly getting materials together Friday for their media interviews set up in New York City next week. Ted says it's about time the mass media (not just the gaming magazines) started hearing from Atari more often. I've seen Ted's and Ron's schedules. Even all the "breaks" for meals are booked to see someone that has editorial power in the Big Apple. I'll be routing copies of the press releases they are taking with them as soon as possible. (Don't read more into that than what I've said. The PRs are about the shipping of the CD-ROM, the release of FlipOut!, etc.... things that are new to the outside world, but those of us "in the know". ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While waiting for "Mortal Kombat III" on the Jaguar, you may not want to miss the New Line Cinema production of "Mortal Kombat" in theaters now. I took my son to see it this afternoon and it was well done for a movie of its kind... Great special effects, satisfactory acting, cool soundtrack and certainly worth the early bird discount. It's rated PG-13. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You may have seen the phrase: "Coming October 6, Plug in the WIRE!". I can say is that it has to do with something cool for onliners beginning October 6. I encourage you to stay alert. A little more will be revealed each week up until October 6. If you're a Jaguar supporter and would like to help spread the enthusiasm of something really cool happening on October 6, please consider adding: "Coming October 6, Plug in the WIRE!" ...to your message posts, in prominent Internet newsgroup locations, BBS systems, etc. [Please note: the event referred to above will involve commercial participation between Atari Corporation and other trademarked services such as a commercial on-line service.
