(What it really needs is a Trak-Ball controller but unfortunately not available on the VCS but will be available for the new super unit the 5200 sometime next year) Oh well on with the show Tips: 1 Read the instructions well Like all Apollo games to date the instructions are something of a challenge on their own For Lost Luggage by Games by Apollo Richardson Texas for Atari 2600 home Video Computer System and Sears Tele-Games Video Arcade Four rounds One or two players Joystick controls Suggested retail price $3193 discounts available Par score after 20-25 plays: 1500 By LOU HUDSON Mar Telegnm Writer Now we may know the real reason Bran-iff International went under Lost Luggage brings to life one of those things you always were afraid was going to happen some day: an airline baggage carousel running amok For sheer fun of concept this game deserves a five-star rating In actual play it leaves a little to be desired Don't get me wrong a good game and if you liked Kaboom! (and a lot of you did according to the polls) like Lost Luggage But it has its problems For one it's a very tough game to do very well on so tough in fact that it may lose itsattraction for many players a challenge that hard-core video junkies may relish but for the average player it can represent a big frustration There are no easy versions of the game although the levels in each game get more difficult slowly so you at least can go through several tables before you get zonked gMmetsg one thing they fail to note you earn a bonus round at 400 800 1400 1800 2400 etc points You have more than six rounds stored up at once however 2 Memorize the baggage pattern The only way to do well in this game is to stay ahead of the falling bags 3 Stay upclose to thecarousel if you can and catch the bags before they get too spread out Otherwise doomed 4 On the Novice or level there are two passengers to catch the bags but be careful because the bags can slip between them 1 1 1 1 mswcini SI I

bumper never approach the true potential out there RWW hiladel phia A Strong stuff and in maiy ways accurate However I am sure ycu would want me to point out that this be construed as a blanket indictment of all American car dealers I have two riends who are dealers in American cars and they insist that their stores run in a thoroughly professional manner Any salesman who is dijeourte-ous or appears uninterested will get his walking papers in a hurry I might add that their dealerships are prospering Experience has shown me that many high-volume import dealerships are falling into the same rut you describe They have for the moment a market and take advantage evtry way they can In the main however I think that most dealers and I mean the people who own the stores are sincere and honest businessmen who in addition to wanting to make a profit wish to provide a service to the public But oh how those bad apples spoil the barrel I Bill Simmons welcomes questions about ears and their

slammed his book shut pointed to the window sticker and said the price lady Take it or leave Unaccustomed to being so treated by people to whom she took her business she walked out and then bought a new BMW for cash Another acquaintance not so wealthy needed a car for work and as his company was footing the bill he needed an absolute minimum car He too wanted to buy American and narrowed his choice to a Ford Escort He went to three dealers None would sell him a stripped Escort or even order one for him They persisted in trying to push him into an upline model until he gave up and bought a Datsun sold both American and foreign cars and know the backroom and showroom shenanigans that go on especially with US makes and I know that they work most of the time But there are millions of Americans out there with whom they work -people who are too smart too well-informed and too spoiled by foreign car dealers and salesmen to ever go back to being flimflammed and dumped on There is a huge potential buy American market out there but it be brought in until the US dealer network wakes up to the fact that theirs is no longer and never will be again a market Until they learn the truth of Abraham words that fool all of the people all of the Detroit By BILL SIMMONS Knighl-Ridder News Service American car manufacturers may be closing the quality-design gap between themselves and foreign makers but they will not recapture their rightful share of market until they do something about the people who sell them Too many American car dealers and salesmen operate as if still in the suede-shoe era Unlike foreign car dealers and salesmen who for years had to be dedicated enthusiasts and missionaries for their products most US car retail people are either surly indifferent high-pressure or downright insulting to the intelligence Only a few know anything about the cars they are selling except the deal they want to make Two cases I am personally aware of illustrate the point: A wealthy Main Line (Philadelphia) matron who owned a Mercedes roadster she wanted to keep decided that she net-tied a second full-sized car and that she would buy American She chose Lincoln and found jusLwhat she wanted at a local showroom However this was just when dealers were anxious to obtain used full-sized American cars to take advantage of a swing in the market She asked the salesman for his best price do you have to trade?" he demanded gruffly business is it of yours?" she replied want to buy this car and would like to know your sale do you have to he ANSWER MONDAY
