cool flyer finds

Hey all,
I picked up a ton of flyers yesterday (almost 1k) and found some neat
stuff. No Black Widow flyer but there was a Vectorbeam Scramble flyer! Its
only a 1-page mono flyer with no screenshot or cab shot. There's some
neat artwork and it says:

"Exciting two-ball challenge
Extended play feature
Choice of playing computer
or another opponent
Revolutionary Vectorbeam monitor"

It was accompanied by a reprint from oct '78 vending times article about
the startup of Vectorbeam. In the article was a shot of Larry
Rosenthal and Dan Sunday at "vectorbeam's engineering computer."

There was also some neat 2-page cinematronics flyers called "meet
cinematronics" there are some cool shots of the engineering dept and the
production line. A centuri flyer showing every game they made in '80 had a
Ripoff cocktail.. a neat litte 3x5" Sega "eliminator two player tips"
gameplay card. In an Exidy folder from a tradeshow there was a news
release about a game called "rolling Star Fire" it said its just Star Fire
with a full motion base! There was also an Exidy flyer for "Football" I
saw no mention of this game in the bronzage list. the screenshot on the
flyer is exactly the same as the one on the Sega "World Cup" flyer (which
isnt on the list either). There is Atari World Cup listed but I've never
seen that. No dates on the flyers unfortunately but the games are B/W.

There's plenty more games/manufacturers I've never seen or heard of..And
some very cool Taito jap flyers, one 4-pager from about '79 shows 33
 games, but most of them are licensed from Midway and Atari!
kinda neat seeing it "the other way around".. but I wont clutter the
V-list with that..

I'll scan in the Scramble flyer sometime today and the other ones if you
all are interested in seeing them..
