JAGUAR HITS ROAD WITH E.G.M. SUPERTOUR '94; ATARI WOWS SERIOUS GAMERS WITH 64-BIT ENERGY
CHICAGO — June 23, 1994 — Atari Corp. announced today that it has hit the road with a summer long exhibition of the Atari Jaguar in many popular shopping malls across America. The SuperTour '94 is the second annual tour co-sponsored by Electronic Gaming Monthly (E.G.M.); an excellent source of information covering the explosive world of video games. The show tour is also sponsored by Hero Illustrated; the number one name in comic guides.
SuperTour '94 offers an opportunity for merchants and enthusiastic game players to see, feel and hear the newest innovations in gaming entertainment including the Atari Jaguar, the world's first and only 64-bit interactive multimedia home entertainment system. The Jaguar and compatible game titles have been awarded multiple awards for technical achievement, design and innovation worldwide.
"We want gamers to compare our system with others," states Sam Tramiel, president and chief executive officer of Atari Corp. "The E.G.M. SuperTour encourages those comparisons with side-by-side competitions and demonstrations. Comparisons always sell more machines for Atari."
The E.G.M. SuperTour '94 is scheduled through September in shopping malls from Charlotte and Orlando to Los Angeles and Seattle; with cities like Chicago and Denver along the way. The show attracts gamers and comic collectors with a wide variety of contests, games and prizes including a full-size professional pinball machine.
"We are getting flooded with calls," notes Donald Thomas, director of Customer Service for Atari Corp. "Gamers want us to know that they saw the Jaguar at some of the preseason shows and their nearest store sold out already. They want to know where to find more."
The SuperTour '94 show schedule may be found in the most current issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly. The announced tour stops include the following cities:
