Image Products/Press Release Folder Image Computer Products, Inc. 198x. This products/press release folder contains this information: Corporate Objectives and Personnel, Product Sheet Information for Atari, T.I., and TRS-80, Dealer Price Sheet, Distributor Price Sheet, and Image Folder. Covered in some detail are: Bill Moulds, Dick Ainsworth, Al Baker, Dick Schultz, Strategy Pack II, All Star Baseball, Wall Street Challenge, Mind Master, Skill Builder I, Strategy Pack, Typing Tutor, Dungeon Campaign, Tournament Brick Bat, Wildcatting, and Action Pack I. Paul Thacker says, "I [...] wasn't sure if these were Astrocade-related when I first picked them up, but once I read them, I saw the connection. The Vice President is Dick Ainsworth, who did various things for Bally including writing the original Bally BASIC manual and coming up with the idea for Bingo Math. The president is Bill Moulds, who spoke at the Astrovision sales meeting we have recordings of. He was helping Astrovision with marketing the system. There's some good biographical information about both of them. I think it's likely that Astrovision was contracting with Image Computer Products for their marketing." |
