GAME OPERATION
STARTING UP
Each time the game is first turned on or power is restored, it begins executing code out of the boot ROM.
These self-diagnostic tests automatically verify and report condition of the CPU and the game hardware. If
any of the individual tests fails, then an error message will be displayed for each test.
Once all Power-up tests have been passed, the game goes into its “attract mode”. Scenes and sounds
from a typical game are alternated with previous high scores in an endless pattern until game play starts.
Insert currency to start the game. Players select teams and other game
variables.
Play begins after a
countdown period is completed
The game will progress until time is exhausted. If no more play is
required, the game automatlcally returns to the “attract mode”.
GAME RULES Play instructions are found on the information panel over and under the video monitor.
