Parker Brothers split second - Auto Cross Gameplay Features; STOMP Game; STOMP Objective & Target Mechanics

Special
Features
a) As soon
as the car
appears, you'll hear
its
"motor." Then,
as
you
play,
the sound
of the motor
will
change
with the
speed of
the car. The
faster
you move
the car, the
higher the
frequency
of the motor.
If
you fail to
move the
car for
sev-
eral
seconds, the
motor will return
to
"idle."
b) Notice that
the car's LEFT/RIGHT
direction
reverses whenever
you back it
up.
Try
it.
c) The car will
crash if
you
try
to move it
off the
screen.
Then, after
a crash, the
car will remain
in place—
blinking—
for about
a second.
So
drive carefully—
or you'll lose
precious
time!
d) To play this game again,
just press START.
The
computer will challenge
you—or an
oppo-
nent—with
exactly the same game:
the same
obstacles, in the same
positions, in the same
sequence.
To play
a
different
obstacle course,
repeatedly
press SELECTuntil

then press

Object:
To hit
twenty
targets
in the
shortest
possible time.
A
target will
have
either
one or
two
parts and
will
flash
on the
screen for
only
a
second or
so. To hit
a
target,
you
must
press
each part's
corresponding
ARROW
button
before the target
disappears.
Figure

a one-part
target.
Figure

#7.
2. As
soon
as you press START,
the first
target will
appear
(The center
dot will also
appear and
will
stay on for
the rest of the
game.
Just ignore
it.)
Try to
press the
corresponding
ARROW
button(s)
before
the target
disappears.
You'll
know
by the
sound
you hear whether
or not
you've hit
the target.
3. Targets
will continue
to
appear and
disappear
either until
you've hit twenty
of them,
or until
99.9 seconds have
elapsed.
