Beaters - 2 players on each side.

These are the defensive players. They carry bats that they use to knock away the
BLUDGERS.

The Bludgers are small heavy black balls that fly around in crazy patterns and try
to knock the players off their brooms. The Beaters are responsible for batting away
the Bludger balls to protect their team.

The Beaters and the Bludgers are ALWAYS CONTROLLED BY THE COMPUTER.
You never control them!

BEATERS ARE ALWAYS CONTROLLED BY THE
COMPUTER. THEY CARRY BATS AND TRY AND
KNOCK AWAY THE BLUDGERS.

THESE LITTLE BLACK BALLS ARE ALSO ALWAYS
CONTROLLED BY THE COMPUTER. THE BLUDGER
BALLS TRY AND KNOCK PLAYERS OFF THEIR
BROOMS!

WATCH OUT!

KeepEr - 1 player on each side.

This is like a goalie. The Keeper flies around between the hoops
and stops the other team's Chasers from scoring.

THE KEEPER IS YOUR GOALIE. MOVE YOUR KEEPER
TO KEEP THE QUAFFLE OUT OF YOUR OWN HOOPS!

Seeker - 1 player on each side.

The Seeker is a very important position. This player is responsible for flying high
and keeping an eye out for the GOLDEN SNITCH. The Golden Snitch is a very
small golden ball with wings that flies very fast. The Seeker has to try to spot and
then catch the Golden Snitch.

The Seeker will not appear on screen until the Golden Snitch appears.
When a player catches the Golden Snitch, his team scores 150 points
and the game ends!

WHEN THE SEEKER CATCHES THE GOLDEN SNITCH,
HIS TEAM WINS THE GAME!

Let's Play!

THE PLAYERS

3

There are seven players on each team:

Chasers - 3 players on each side

The Chasers are the offensive players. They are like forwards in other sports. Their
job is catch and pass the red QUAFFLE ball and advance the Quaffle down the field
and get the Quaffle through one of the three hoops on the opponent's end of the
field.

10 points are awarded every time the Quaffle goes through
one of the hoops.

CHASERS ARE OFFENSIVE PLAYERS.

THEY CARRY, PASS AND SHOOT THE QUAFFLE.

You always play as the dark, solid players and
are always trying to move UP FIELD.

The computer always plays as the light players
and is always trying to move DOWN FIELD.

The little dark balls are the bludgers. Get hit by them and you are
temporarily stunned and lose control of the Quaffle (if you had
possession of it).

The flashing player is the player you are controlling.

Chaser Strategy

When play begins, one of your Chasers will be holding the Quaffle. You need to move
the Quaffle up the field and score! You have three Chasers; each one can pass and
catch the Quaffle.

Usually two Chasers will be lined up side by side. The third Chasers will either be
slightly in front of the other two or right behind them. That way, you can either pass
the ball back and forth and when a defensive player comes at you, you can throw
the Quaffle to your third Chaser!

Turn your broom LEFT or RIGHT or lift your broom UP or DOWN while holding
the Quaffle. Your Chaser will move on the field in the direction you choose (LEFT,
RIGHT, UPFIELD or DOWNFIELD).

Hold the ACTION BUTTON and turn your broom LEFT
or RIGHT to select your shot direction. Then release the
ACTION BUTTON to shoot to the opponent player's hoops!

If you turn your broom to the LEFT, you will shoot the
Quaffle ball to the left side of the 3 hoops. If you turn your
broom to the RIGHT, you will shoot the Quaffle ball to the right
side of the 3 hoops.

If you don't turn the broom, you will shoot the Quaffle ball forward
toward the center of the hoops.

If you don't choose a direction when you press the ACTION BUTTON
for shooting, you will automatically just shoot the Quaffle ball forward and straight.

The other strategy to remember with your Chasers, is to try and avoid the Bludgers
so you don't get stunned by them!

Out of Bounds

If you take a shot and you miss the hoops and the Quaffle goes out
of bounds, the other side will automatically take possession of the
Quaffle back at the middle of the field.

Keeper Strategy

When you are controlling the Keeper, turn
your broom to make him move left and
right to block the Quaffle. After the Keeper
makes a successful save, he will throw the ball
to one of his teammates!

Scoring

When a team scores a goal, the screen will show the logo
of the team that scored and then the new score will be
displayed.

Seeker Strategy

The Golden Snitch will appear randomly during play.
When it appears, no matter what is happening, the view switches to the Seeker and

you will automatically be controlling your Seeker player.
You will see the Golden Snitch flying in front of you.
It will move in a crazy fashion left, right, up and down. Sometimes it moves fast,

sometimes it moves slow.
As the Seeker, you must move your broom LEFT, RIGHT, UP and DOWN to try

and chase the Snitch. You want to line up the Snitch in the center of the screen.
When the Snitch is right in the center of the screen and close to you (the Golden
Snitch will change to a larger size), press the ACTION BUTTON very quickly to
catch the Snitch.

It is a difficult thing to do!
When you are unable to catch the Snitch, it will fly off screen and the view of the

game will return to normal up and down field Chaser play.
Sometimes, you will see the opponent Seeker fly by!
Sometimes, you will see a Bludger flying on screen towards you. GET OUT OF THE

WAY!
If the Bludger hits you, you will lose your

chance to catch the Snitch!
Remember, the game will not end until the

Seeker on one of the teams catches the Snitch!

Instant Replays

Really good plays deserve to be seen again! You'll see instant replays for goals
scored, saves made, when a regular player is hit by a Bludger, when a Seeker is hit
by a Bludger, and when a Seeker catches the Golden Snitch to win the game.

Scoring

5

10 POINTS each time you score a "goal" by getting the Quaffle into one of the

150 POINTS when you catch the Golden Snitch, this ends the game, and the team

opponent's hoops.

with the most points wins!

OUCH!

YOU WIN!
