INSTRUCTION

INTRODUCING THE FIRST INTERACTIVE BASEBALL BAT

Welcome to the first truly interactive baseball video game. You actually swing a bat in order to hit the ball on the video screen!

3 GAMES PLUS "TOY" MODE

There are three baseball games to play:

-- HOME RUN DERBY

1 or 2 player game. How many home runs can you hit?

-- 9 INNING GAME (Batting only)

1 or 2 player game. Players bat and run the bases but do not field.

-- 9 INNING GAME (Batting and Fielding)

2 player game only. Players bat and also play the field. Batters do not control running as in game 2. Instead, running is an automatic feature in game 3.

-- TOY MODE

Practice your swings and hear the "crack" of the bat.

PLAY BALL

Press the ON/START button to turn on the game. Pressing the ON/START button once puts you in "Toy mode". Practice your swings and hear the "crack" of the bat. Press ON/START again to play the default game: Home Run Derby.

NUMBER OF PLAYERS

Use the SELECT button to select number of players: 1 or 2. Press the ON/START button to confirm number of players.

GAME MODE

Now use the SELECT button again to select from the 3 game modes: HOME RUN DERBY...9 INNING GAME (Batting Only)...9 INNING GAME (Batting and Fielding). Press the ON/START button to confirm game selection and to start the game!

HOLD THE BAT

Hold the bat like a regular bat. Press the PITCH BUTTON and the pitcher

pitches the ball. The pitcher is crafty! He can throw fastballs, curves, and sinkerballs. He can also change speeds well.

Watch the ball as the pitcher fires it! Then as the ball approaches home plate, SWING!

If you make contact with the pitch, you'll hear the "crack" of the bat on ball and actually FEEL the impact as the ball goes flying across the LCD screen! After the ball is hit, there is a short delay (you'll see the ball traveling through the air), so that you have the time to re-position yourself after the swing to view the play and be in position to use the control buttons if necessary.

GAME 1: HOME RUN DERBY

There are 9 rounds of play. Each round consists of 6 swings. You try to hit a home run with each swing.

GET READY

TO SWING...

The hitter presses the PITCH button, follows the pitch and then SWINGS THE BAT!

If you hit a home run, you score. If you swing and miss it, or you don't hit it well enough to be a home run, it's just an OUT. The scoring for home run derby is weighted more heavily for clutch hitters who perform well in the later rounds:

SCORING FOR HOME RUN DERBY

ROUNDS 1 -3 EACH HOME RUN ROUNDS 4-6 EACH HOME RUN ROUNDS 7-8 EACH HOME RUN ROUND 9 EACH HOME RUN

BONUS SWINGS

If you hit all 6 swings in a round for home runs, you're given 1 free bonus swing at the end of the round.

Your game will update your score after each home run. In a 1 player game, you play straight through. In a 2 player game, players alternate. Player 1 takes 6 swings, then player 2 gets his six cuts. Then back to player 1 for the next round.

In a 2 player game, if the score is tied after 9 rounds, additional rounds are played until one player has a lead at the completion of a subsequent round.

INSERTING THE BATTERIES

To insert the batteries, have an adult open the battery compartment cover at the back of the game. (To remove cover, press and push battery cover upward.) Insert 4 "AAA" /LR03 batteries (not included), making sure to align "+" and "-" as shown.

CAUTION: Batteries should be replaced by an adult. Not suitable for children under 36 months, may contain small parts.

TO ENSURE PROPER FUNCTION

- DO NOT MIX OLD AND NEW BATTERIES

- DO NOT MIX ALKALINE, STANDARD OR RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.

- BATTERY INST ALLATION SHOULD BE DONE BY AN ADULT.

- NON-RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES ARE NOT TO BE RECHARGED.

- RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES ARE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE TOY BEFORE BEING CHARGED ( IF REMOVABLE ).

- RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES ARE ONLY TO BE CHARGED UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION ( IF REMOVABLE ).

- ONLY BATTERIES OF THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE AS RECOMMENDED ARE TO BE USED.

- BATTERIES ARE TO BE INSERTED WITH CORRECT POLARITY.

- EXHAUSTED BATTERIES ARE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE TOY.

- THE SUPPLY TERMINALS ARE NOT TO BE SHORT CIRCUITED.

BALL AS IT

PITCHER'S HAND.

SWING THE BAT!

IT MIGHT BE, IT

COULD BE,

IT IS! HOME RUN!

GREAT SWING!

GAME 2: 9 INNING GAME (Batting Only)

In a 1 player game, try for your highest score. In a 2 player game, you compete against another player. If a 2 player game is tied after 9 innings, extra innings are played until one player wins. As in real baseball, if the visiting team (the team batting first), scores in an extra inning, the home team still gets it's last at-bats! However, if the visiting team fails to score in the top half of an extra inning and the home team manages to push a run across, then the GAME IS OVER.

When you swing and hit the ball, wait for the "delay" to complete itself (the ball traveling across screen). Then you'll see a close-up of a runner running the bases!

The batter now uses the four BASE buttons (BASE 1, BASE 2, BASE 3, HOME) to run the bases.

RUNNING THE BASES

-- Press BASE 1 to run to first base.

-- Once you're at first, press BASE 2 to run to second base (if you want to try to stretch a single into a double).

-- Once you're at second, press BASE 3 to run to third base (if you want to try to stretch a double into a triple.)

-- Once you're at third base, press HOME to run to home (if you a triple into an "inside-the-park" home run.
