SLINKY '64 (C) Cosmi After SLINKY has started you will see the title page of the game. After a few moments, the game screen will be displayed automatically. SLINKY appears at the top left portion of the screen, sitting atop one of the 54 cubes of the playfield. SLINKY only moves diagonally. Pressing the joystick handle at any angle will cause SLINKY to move in that direction. (Be careful that you don't jump off the blocks, as that will cost you points and a player!) You begin with five players and 25,000 points. The object is to guide SLINKY, via the joystick over all the cubes and change the tops to the appropriate color. Once you have changed all the blocks to the desired color (which is the same color on the screen as your score numbers) without losing all your points or players, you will automatically advance to the next level. If you wish to restart from the first level, press the RUN/STOP key. If you wish to continue playing from the last level you were playing when finally destroyed, do nothing and the screen will reset automatically. SLINKY '64 has a number of "half time" shows. If you complete a level without losing a player, you will see a high speed "Instant Replay" of your successful moves. If you complete a level after having lost one or more players, you will view one of five cartoon "featurettes" celebrating your achievement. However, if you lose at any level, the cartoon depicts Slinky's demise. (Ugh!) SLINKY is controlled by joystick in Port two. HINTS Catch blinking fields to increase your score. Catch falling waterdrops to increase your speed but only if you've not touched the brown "rust" cloud. -END-
