GAME:              STREET FIGHTER™ ALPHA

REF:                 MAXIMIZING GAME REVENUES

MARKET TESTING HAS REVEALED THAT THE BEST EARNINGS FOR STREET FIGHTER™ ALPHA RESULT FROM AN AVERAGE GAME TIME OF 2-1/2 TO 4 MINUTES.

MOST OPERATORS WILL CONTINUE TO USE THE FACTORY RECOMMENDED SETTINGS.  HOWEVER, IF GAME EARNINGS ARE LESS THAN EXPECTED,  WE SUGGEST THAT THE OPERATOR RE-CONFIGURE THE GAME TO INCREASE THE LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY AND LOWER THE AVERAGE GAME TIME.

TO CHANGE THE GAME CONFIGURATION SETTINGS, USE THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE:

1. FOR CABINETS EQUIPPED WITH A TEST SWITCH,  OPEN THE COIN DOOR AND PUSH THE TEST BUTTON,  FOR CABINETS NOT EQUIPPED WITH A TEST         SWITCH,  PRESS THE TEST SWITCH ON THE BLUE PLASTIC GAME CARTRIDGE.

2.         THE FOLLOWING SCREENS WILL APPEAR ON THE MONITOR DURING THIS PROCEDURE:
