GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
The Game Machine
is
a
unique
micro-
processor/computer,
electronic
game
and
calculator that consists
of one
plastic
case and four
sets
of
plastic
coated card
overlays. These overlays
will
aid you in
playing the 4 games.
At your
command this "micro-
computer" has been
programed to
perform
mathematical
calculations
as
any common calculator,
or it will
play any of
the 4 programed
games.
Information
about the Game
Machine:
1.
Proper
Care:
As
in
any
computer the Game
Machine
is made of
many
delicate
electronic parts,
therefore:
•
Never
take the Game Machine
apart.
•
Be careful
not to
drop the
Game Machine.
•
Do
not
bang
the keys.
•
Do not let the
Game
Machine
become wet or damp.
•
Caution:
when inserting
batteries
or an A/C
adaptor, the
powder
switch should be
in the off
position.
2. Power:
Batteries
-
insert
6-1.5
Volt
"C" size
batteries to the
bottom
of the
Game
Machine.
Your
Game
Machine
will
work on
regular
"C"
cells
however,
alkaline
batteries
are recommended,
as
they
will
last up
to
30 hours of
use compared
to6to
8 hours
with regular
batteries.
AC
Adaptor
—
the following A.C.
adaptors have
been
approved for
the Game Machine:
•
Radio Shack #2701551
1
•
Dynamic
Instruments
#
TV
679-5
When using even these
adaptors,
the Game Machine may operate
erratically when
you turn the
switch "on". If
the rotating num-
bers 4
-3-2-1-
do
not
immediately appear, turn the
machine
"off" and switch back to
"on".
You
may
repeat
this as
many times as necessary until the
machine operates properly.
If
you
cannot conveniently locate
one of
the above adaptors,
we
recommend
you bring your Game Machine to
a
store to test the adaptor
that
you are
considering.
The adaptor should meet the
following specification:
8
Watts
9 Volt
180 MA
Signs of
Weak Batteries
—
Your
Game
Machine will
let you
know
when the batteries are weak by
operating erratically. Funny
"Sqiggles",
or
half
numbers
will
appear on the screen, or you will
hear strange sounds from
the
speaker. Do not
be
alarmed,
a new
set of batteries will quickly put
your
machine
back in operating
order.
To
Install Batteries:
1.
Turn
machine upside down,
remove battery case cover,
(see
diagram).
2. Place
3 "C"
cell
batteries as
indicated
in battery case in
top
row
and 3 "C"
cell

as
indicated in battery
case in
the bottom
row.
3. Snap battery

Explanation
—
columns 1 through 4
are the first
guess. The

in the 5th
column
states
that
two
of the numbers
entered are correct and are in the
right
place. The 1
in the 6th column
states that in
addition
to the two
numbers which are correct and
in the
correct place,
there is also an addi-
tional correct number, but it
is in the
wrong place.
The in the seventh
column states that it is still
the
players
first turn.
Winning:
When the player has "BROKEN
THE
CODE"
and entered the correct num-
bers in the correct sequence, the

the
number digit entries
and
the "CLUES" from
columns
5
and
6,
but
soon,
use of
the review
keys will be preferred.

How
to
play:
Press
the GO
key
-
this
starts
the two
minute
race.
The player's
car
appears on
the
screen as
a
DOT
above
the yellow
race car sign
on the
overlay.
Opposing
race cars
appear
as dashes
whizzing by at
high
speed
in any
one of
the 3
horizontal
"LANES"
on the
screen.
(1)
With
a
left
hand finger,
depress
the
GAS
key.
This will SLOW
DOWN
the
other race
cars
and give
the
player
a
chance to get
out
of the
pitstop
and into
the
racetrack.
(2)
When
there is
an
opening
between
the
race cars,
try
and
enter the
race.
With
a
right
hand
finger,
press
any
one of
the move up
keys.
This will
change
the race
car from
a dot to a
dash
and bring
it OUT
of
the pitstop
and onto
the
racetrack.
(3)
Change
lanes
UP
and
DOWN
with a
right
hand
finger.
This
is
how
the
race
car
avoids
onrushing
cars
and
having
an
accident,
(shown
by
the
race
cars
tumbling
action
and
the
funny
sound).
Page 9
After
each
accident
the
race must
be
re-entered
as
in the
beginning
of the
race (#1).
*
NOTE:
The
race car
does
not
move
forward
on the
screen
it can
only be
moved
up
and
down
in the three
lanes.
Winning:
A
perfect score
is
99,
(lots of
luck)
no
one has ever
scored
that
high.
It
means
staying
on the
track
almost
the
entire 2
minutes
using the
BRAKE
key
with almost
NO
ACCIDENTS.
Any score
over 50
is great
—
but
practice
makes
perfect, so
keep
trying.
At
the
end of
the race
the
score will
FLASH
on
the screen.
Use
the score
sheets
provided
to
keep track
of
scores.
Suggestions:
To
score
the most
points,
press the
BRAKE key
-
but try
several
races
using only the
GAS key
before
racing faster
with
the BRAKE
key.
We hope
you
enjoy your
GAME
MACHINE
for many
years to
come.
