THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS HEATS UP THE STREETS!

Raw Thrills, the maker of the current hit video TARGET: Terror, introduced their first driving game, The Fast and the Furious ™ at the AAMA Distributor Meeting this summer in Chicago followed by showings at both the AMOA and IAAPA shows. The driver that allows up to eight linked units is being sold and marketed by Raw Thrills' partner, Betson Enterprises.

"It's an unbelievable privilege to announce the world premiere release of The Fast and the Furious™ video game.  This is the officially licensed video game based on Universal's #1 smash hit street racing movie.  This game has never been seen in the home, and premieres exclusively in coin-op.  The same team that created the Cruis'n series of driving games from Midway, the highest grossing driver series in the history of the arcade, are the developers of The Fast and the Furious™,” states Raw Thrills head, Eugene Jarvis.

Jarvis goes on to say, “The Fast and the Furious team spent over 3 years designing this game from the bottom up to be the best driver ever! This game is the real deal with 12 all-new action packed tracks, 17 tricked out cars with over 20 customization levels each.  The graphics are state of the art, with special effects and custom paint jobs never seen anywhere. And the game play excitement, extreme airtime, and tricks bring 'em back for more.  Now players can save all their stats and custom cars with the keypad PIN player loyalty system, the most extensive coin-op has ever seen. No need for a costly and failure-prone card system. But all this stuff doesn't mean anything unless the game earns.  And we're happy to announce that initial reports have shown earnings up to 3 times the competition.  And if you don't believe us, try it out in your own location!"

Raw Thrills continues their relationship with Betson Enterprises as their sales and marketing partner for their entire product line on a world-wide basis. Betson's Bob Geschine commented, “This game is special. This just might be the `next great piece' that gets everybody energized in our business once again. We are extremely excited about bringing a driving game designed specifically for the coin-op market, from the makers of the best selling driving games our industry has ever seen. We are pleased to see over-the-top test results with this driver, and we believe this game will become a true long-term franchise in the coin-op market.”

The Fast and the Furious™ is available in two versions: 27” sit-down and a 27” upright unit and is shipping now. For further information, please contact your local distributor or Betson's headquarters at 800-524-2343 / 201-438-1300 ext. 319 or 318.
