disappear or "drop," one by one, as they are
struck by a pinball. A special bonus is awarded
when all targets in a group are "dropped."

SLINGSHOTS - When these targets are struck,
they will "slingshot" the ball back into the game.

GATES - A ball can only enter a gate one way.
After entering, the gate is closed, and the ball will
simply bounce or roll off it.

BUMPERS - Points are awarded every time the
ball bounces off a bumper.

SINKHOLES - A ball is not lost if it lands in a
Sinkhole. Instead, points are awarded and the ball
returns from a Kickback.

KICKBACKS - A ball emerges from a Kickback
after falling into a sinkhole.

ROLLOVERS - Points are awarded when the ball
passes over a Rollover.

RAMPS - A powerful hit from a flipper will
sometimes knock a ball up a ramp. This will take
the ball to a different part of the playing field or

Let's Play!

Turn on the game by pressing the ON / NEW
GAME / PAUSE / ENTER button. If no DECK is
inserted into the game, you'll be asked to insert
one now.

INSERTING A DECK - Insert a deck by sliding
the card through the opening in the top of the
game.

Once an individual deck is placed into the game,
press the LEFT FLIPPER or the RIGHT FLIPPER to
choose a GAME MODE. Press the ON / NEW
GAME / PAUSE / ENTER button to enter your
selection.

GAME MODES:

FULL-TILT MODE - This mode allows you to
create a HIGH SCORE. You may only "Nudge" the
game a limited number of times before "TILTING"
the game.

HALF-TILT MODE - In this mode you may Nudge
the game as many times as you want. But you
won't be able to score the
highest potential score.

Nudging the Game:

To "Nudge" the game,
lightly tap the side of
the game with one
hand. This will move
the pinball in the
desired direction
(which helps if the ball
is headed straight for the
drain). But be careful! In
Full-Tilt Mode, nudging too
often can cause the game to "tilt" and the current
game will automatically be over.

Once you've chosen the Game Mode, your first
pinball will appear above the Plunger. Pull back
the Plunger and release it when the desired
amount of power has built up in the springs.
Remember, the longer you hold back the Plunger
the harder your ball will be shot onto the playing
field!

GAME PLAY:

Using the three different decks, there are three
exciting games to choose from: SPACE,
CARNIVAL, and CASINO. And as with most other
pinball games, a certain number of points and/or
the combination of targets hit will give you special
bonuses throughout the game! Some of these
bonuses are:

EXTRA BALL- During game play, extra balls can
be awarded. If this happens, you will be asked to
"shoot again" after one of your original balls goes
down the drain.

MULTI BALLS - Through a combination of points
and/or targets hit, sometimes Multi Balls are
awarded. When this happens, several balls enter
the playing field at once. Now it's up to you to
rack up the points by using the flippers to keep as
many of these balls in play as possible.

MATCH - At the end of the game, two numbers
will be picked randomly and then compared to the
last two numbers of your score. If there is a
match, you get a bonus ball! Pull back the
Plunger and shoot again!

MINI GAMES - Through a combination of points,
targets hit, and/or words spelled, a Mini Game
may be awarded. Each Deck has different mini
games to play.

HUMAN CANNONBALL - In the Car nival game,
this game lets you see how far you can shoot a
human cannonball; the farther you shoot him, the
more bonus points you receive! After the "Big
Top" (at the top of the game) has been activated,
getting a ball inside the Big Top will activate the
Human Cannonball mini game. You will then have
five seconds to "tap" the Right and Left Flippers
as fast as you can in order to raise the cannon's
Power Meter. The higher the meter, the farther the
human cannonball will fly, and the more points you
will receive.

SAUCER SHOOTOUT - If you shoot your ball into
the Saucer (top left of the game), after spelling out
S-A-U-C-E-R by hitting rollovers, you will begin the
Saucer Shootout mini game! All you have to do is
use the Left and Right Flipper Buttons to shoot
lasers at the attacking aliens. Wait until they pass
behind your Cross hairs and fire! Just be careful,
you only have 15 shots. The more aliens you
shoot, the more points you will receive!

BLACKJACK - When the ball enters the tube
surrounding the Roulette Wheel, you get to play a
game of Blackjack! On the LCD Screen, you are
dealt two cards. Use the Left Flipper Button to
"hit" or be dealt another card. Use the Right
Flipper Button to "stay" or just play the cards
you've been dealt. If your cards add to OVER 21,
you "bust" and no points are awarded. However,
in this game, the closer you get to 21 the more
points you earn!

ROULETTE - When you hit a ball into the Roulette
wheel, a quick game of roulette is played!
Depending on which flipper you used to knock the
ball in (the Right Flipper for Black and the Left
Flipper for Red), you will get bonus points if a
number is chosen that rests on the same color
background.

SLOT MACHINE - When the pinball is hit into the
Outer Tube, you've just hit the slots! Just like a
real slot machine, the number of bonus points you
receive will depend on what combination of
symbols comes up on the slot machine!

HIGH SCORES:

Once you've beaten the current high score, use
the Left and Right Flipper Buttons to scroll through
the letters of the alphabet. Then press the ON /
NEW GAME / PAUSE / ENTER Button to enter
your selection.
