THE GAME SCREEN the game screen is YODA's "home." you will see YODA move around the screen and go about his daily routine, busying himself with the responsibilities of a JEDI MASTER.

press the LEFT/RIGHT keys to select the different ICONS around the outside of the screen. these icons represent all of the different activities that allow you to interact with YODA.

HOW TO PLAY as a JEDI apprentice, it is your job to keep yoda happy and healthy. at various times, YODA will require a certain kind of attention from you. if he is in need, he will make noise and the ALERT icon will light up.

as part of your training, you've got to figure out what YODA needs! if he is hungry, give him food. if his hut is dirty, clean it for him. there are many different ways for you to interact with YODA. the trick is to figure out what he needs from you! use the LEFT/RIGHT keys to move to the activity you want, and press ENTER. here are the activities:

FOOD when you select this activity, you will be given a choice of foods to prepare for YODA. use the LEFT or RIGHT key to select either healthy food or snacks. YODA needs soup to stay healthy and food sticks to stay happy.

you can see how hungry YODA is by checking its HUNGER on the SCORE screen .

a 100 means YODA has a full tummy-- and a 0 means YODA is famished! if YODA has a 100 it may refuse to eat. and if it has a 0 may refuse to do anything else until you feed it!

YODA refuse to eat HEALTHY FOOD when hunger index = 100, and refuse to do anything when hunger index 20.

SLEEP select this icon to turn out the light when YODA wants to sleep. YODA likes to take naps during the day. if you turn out the light for him, he will happily go to sleep. at night, YODA will be very tired, and just fall asleep right on the floor. if you want YODA to have good dreams, turn out the light at night, too.

sometimes it's hard to tell when YODA needs to sleep. if you have tried feeding and cleaning-- and YODA still seems upset, maybe it's time for a little nap.

TRAIN to have YODA train you in the ways of the force, choose this activity. to become a JEDI KNIGHT you must learn to CONTROL, SENSE, and ALTER your environment with the force. YODA has created three activities to help you learn. each activity is done five times.

1. CONTROL in the CONTROL activity, YODA will flash symbols randomly on the screen, then suddenly stop and beep. you must press the ENTER button as quickly as possible when he beeps. the sooner you press the ENTER button, the more impressed YODA will be. but be careful, if you press before he signals, he will be very unhappy with your impatience!

2. SENSE in the SENSE activity, the screen is divided down the middle. on the left side is a symbol, the right side has a symbol that YODA has hidden from you. you must use the LEFT/RIGHT buttons to scroll through the three different symbols on

the left side and then press ENTER to select one. YODA then reveals the symbol on the right side. if the two symbols match, YODA will be very happy with your use of the force. if they do not match, he will be disappointed with your lack of concentration!

3. ALTER in the ALTER activity you must use the force to lift objects in the air. you must quickly alternate LEFT and RIGHT button presses to raise the object. if you alternate quickly and accurately, the object will rise. if you make a mistake, the object will fall. if you can raise the object to the top of the screen YODA will be happy with your progress. if the object falls to the ground you must try again.

ASK if you have and questions or concerns about your JEDI training, simply speak the question and YODA will hear. press the ENTER button for

YODA's answer. if you have an questions ....

TEACH as a JEDI MASTER, YODA is wise in the ways of the force. choose this activity and YODA will offer some advice to help you on your way .

CLEANING when YODA's hut gets dirty, it is part of your duty to clean it up. a clean hut will add to YODA's peace of mind and make you a more deserving apprentice.

SCORE select this avtivity to check on your score. your score ranges from 0 (bad) to 100 (perfect). by performing your duties as an apprentice, taking care of YODA, and by completing the JEDI training activities, your score will increase, if you neglect your duties or fail in your training, your score will go down.

ALERT when this icon lights up, it means YODA needs something. remember your duties as a JEDI apprentice and act quickly or YODA will no longer depend on you! YODA will not appreciate an undisciplined student!

MEETING YODA'S NEEDS if you try to select an activity that YODA does not want to do, he may refuse. try selecting a different activity until you figure out what YODA needs.

GAME OVER there are two ways for the game to end. if your score drops to zero, YODA will dismiss you as his apprentice. you can press ENTER to try again.

your game will also end if you successfully complete your JEDI training. after 14 days, YODA will dismiss you as his apprentice. however, if you are doing very well, YODA may decide to keep you on to teach you even greater secrets of the force! if you keep your score above 95 points,

YODA will allow you to stay another day. as long as you keep your score high enough, YODA will keep teaching you.

when the game ends, you will receive a title based on how much you have learned. depending on how long you study with YODA, you could achieve the title of JEDI, JEDI knight, or JEDI master.
