own intelligence. Maneuvering through the maze of the Labyrinth you must first locate the Spiral and then exit the Labyrinth. While on your mission, you will be attacked by terrible extraterr estrial monsters. And remember… you are not the only CyBerg in Labyrinth. All other Cybiko owners in your wireless network can enter into YOUR game. Be prepared for bat t le anytime, anywhere.
To open the Exit Door you need to find the keys. To thwart the other CyBergs you’ll need to do battle and keep your weapon charged. How do you find everything you need?
You can pick up su pplies during your travels, or take sup plies from other CyBergs after defeating them in competition.
In your compartment of Labyrinth, you will probably not find all the keys you will need, so venture boldly into other Cybiko computers and to obtain new keys to make your journey complete.
Information at the center of the screen will provide you with useful tips as well as information about other CyBergs that you meet on your way.
As you fight the other CyBergs and monsters, you will earn points and increase your skills for future battles. The faster you find the exit, t h e higher your score, but if you leave Labyrinth without the Knowledge Spiral, your entire score will be completely wiped out.
We wish you luck warrior!
Don’t be surprised if you find some additional features and creatures in your Cybiko. You can find the latest description of the game on www.Cyb iko.com.
Labyrinth proved the theory that the Knowledge Spiral was lost by the first civilization somewhere in Labyrinth corridor. Legend has it that the one who finds the Knowledge Spiral will receive unlimited power. But who will be the first?

.
Multi-Player Actions
When other Cybi ko computers appear within your wirel ess network, they automatically link to each other through the high frequency digital RF transmitter.

When players leave your wireless network, your Labyrinth will shrink to its previous size. But it is no longer the original part of the Labyrinth you started with. You’ll now own the areas previously owned by other CyBergs. The more time you spend in a certain corner of a new Labyrinth, the more likely this part will remain as part of your game after the battle with other players is over.

Offering Cy-B Something to do
In the beginning your Cy-B is healthy and happy. Soon, your baby CyPet will look for something to do. You can offer him things to do, and he will decide whether to do them.
When your Cy-B wants to do something, for ex ampl e, eat a CyBur ger, d rink CyCola, or rest, an icon appears in the top right portion of the screen. Refer to the Icon Section for a list of icon definitions. Highlight the icon, and press <Enter>. Your Cy-B will now do the task you selected.

Visits are very important in growing a well-balanced Cy-B and increasing his happiness level.
Adult CyPet. (Job, Marriage, and yes… Baby Cy-B’s)
Your Cy-B’s refrigerator is full of food and drink at the beginning of his life. However, these s up plies decrease as Cy-B eats and grows old er. You can buy food and dri n k for your Cy-B at the CyberMarket with your CyB ucks.
A Job For Cy-B
Running low on CyBucks? Better get a job. He’ll need to earn money to pay for his food and drin k at the CyberMarket.
To get a job, Cy-B should read the help-wanted advertisements in the CyLandia Gazette Newspaper and simply apply. The better the job, the better the salary. Getting a better job will depend on such things as his intelligence, health, and age.
A Wedding For Cy-B
Now that your Cy-B is an adult and holds a job, he can fall in love and get married. If you are not faithful in allowing these daily visits, your Cy-B will not have the opportunity to get married.
A Baby Cy-B
Once married, your Cy-B can have a baby. Although this happens very rarely, it could happen to you! The baby Cy-B will appear if the conditions are right. Take care of your Cy-B baby. Raise him just the way you did your first Cy-B, but wait…. now you need more money to buy food to feed everyone!

DRAFT CHECKERS
Game rules
Checkers can be played many different ways and we have chosen to follow the rules of Russian
A single checker moves forward only one sq u a re at a time, on the diagonal, to an unoccupied square. Checkers capture an opponent by diagonally jumping over an opposin g checker to an unocc upied adjacent square. Checkers may jump forward or backward, and must continue jumping as long as possible. A Ch ecker that reaches the op posite side of the board becomes a king. If it reaches th e opposite side by jumping, it becomes a king and, if possible, continues jumping as a king. Kings move forward or backward through any number of squares on a diagonal to an unoccupied square. Kings capture from any distance along a diagonal by jumping forward or backward over an opposing checker or king. You must have at least one unoccupi ed square on this diag on al af ter each opposit e checker or king. Checkers an d kin gs may never jump over checkers of th e same color. Whenever a player is able to make a capture, he must do so. The object of the game is to capture all of the opponent's checkers, or to block remaining ones so that none of them can be moved. If none of the players can move, the game is a draw.
