Arachnid, the originator of electronic darts, shows once again how it has maintained its dominance with the introduction of the
Black Widow

to a gratifying reception at the A.S.I. Show in Las Vegas


The Black Widow offers a host of new features (while holding the price line) by combinig two dart games into one --- and ending up with three games.

Two Independent Dart Games
The Black Widow can be played split-screen as two completely indepent dart games with all the traditional games and features of Galaxys.

Head-to-Head, Interactive Play
Because of two targets and a shared processor, the Black Widow can determine with split-second accuracy which dart got to its target first. This opens doors for to a whole new family of interactive games based not onlyon accuracy, but also on speed.

Interactive play is the biggest innovation in darts since the knights of the middle ages were throwing pointy things at the end of logs. Interactive games offer more fun and excitement - especially for those who never played darts before. The Black Widow aims to increase casual play. In Quikdraw, be the first (and only) to score by hitting the randomly lit number when the light turns green. In Quicket, steal the opponent's darts by hitting the magic number first. More great games coming!

As an extra bonus, even traditional games are more fun when played interactively. In Tic-Tac-Darts, Race to own the number. In Cricket, Race for points before the number is closed.

More Features
The Black Widow can be wall-mounted on a base. Each of 12 buttons is labeled on the screen definig its function in plain English - even after the function changes. No need for player cards, the hard disk stores league matches, schedules and standings. Coupled with higher speed and two-way communications, league management becomes a breeze. League fees go in the bill accepter and are reflected in the accounting on the screen. Software updates can also be accomplished by modem. Without a modem, all the software functions can be accomplished automatically by the collector using a Jaz drive (like a high-capacity floppy).

An Extra Stream Of Revenue
As if this isn't enough, The Black Widow makes money even when it's not being played. Profits from its new advertising medium may actually exceed the coin-drop profits. the eye level 19" color monitor is perfect for animated color ads. Arachnid will provide pre-sold national ads and a large catalog of ads easily personalized for local sale.

Arachnid's innovations continue to lead the industry in technology and will continue to produce high quality products well into the future. The Black Widow is now being manufactured and is available for sale. For more information on the Black Widow or other products, call 800-435-8319 or 815-654-0212.
