Army Battlezone (Atari, 1980/1981)
Submitted by Unknown
"Army Battlezone remains a mystery, even to those of us who worked on it." Editor's Notes: I recently had the privilege of discussing Atari history with a member of Atari's development team. This individual worked at Atari for a period of several years, including the "Golden Age", and was a major contributor on many of the classics we've come to know know and love. A note of thanks to him, not just for the information on these pages, but for hours of fun in the arcades.

Tron to Satan's Hollow conversion (long - with pinouts!)
Hi all. Last night I convverted my Tron Mini into a dedicated Satans Hollow. It's not as easy as i thought it would be...
First things first. Satans Hollow and Tron have quite a bit in common, and they have almost as many differences. My situation was this: I have a Satans hollow fullsize control panel (with controls), a fullsize tron control panel with controls, and a mini tron control panel without controls. I've got 2 Bally/Midway MCR/II board sandwiches. One with Tron eproms, the other with Sata

these three primary colors in different combinations, we can make any
