Instructions

This Studio II Home TV Programmer cartridge contains two exciting action games
for two players.

SPEEDWAY

Studio II Speedway is an exciting, competitive racing game for two players.

A racetrack appears on the screen, with two racing "cars", one for each
player.  Four-way directional control is provided so that each player can
maneuver his car around the track.  Hitting the wall, or running into the 
opponent's racer will slow the car down.  A clever driver can negotiate clean
turns, achieve full speed on the straightaway, and effectively block the
opponent from passing.

The Speedway winner is the first car to complete 9 laps.  The lap count for
both racers is continuously displayed.

KEY #1 TO START

How to Play

1. Insert cartridge in the Studio II console
   
   Press CLEAR key.

   Press Key 1 on Keyboard A.

   The race will start immediately.

2. The player using keyboard A controls the car with the black spot; the player
   using keyboard B controls the solid car.

   Car direction is as follows:

   Key 2 - Up		Key 4 - Left
   Key 8 - Down		Key 6 - Right

3. The players maneuver the cars around the racetrack, attempting to avoid
   hitting the walls or the other car, make clean turns at the corners, and run
   at full speed along the straightaways.  The cars will continue to move in
   the direction last given.

4. The race is won by the first car to complete 9 laps.  The lap count for each
   car is displayed as shown in Fig. 2.

Speedway Hints

* Try using two hands; one hand for the up-down keys (2 and 8) and one hand
  for the left-right keys (4 and 6).

* When necessary use your car to block your opponent and prevent his car from
  passing.

* Before racing for the first time, run the car around for a few practice laps.
  With experience, you'll be able to zip around the track, attaining full
  speed on the straightaways, and make good corner turns, avoiding those
  collisions against the wall that slow you down.

TAG

Studio II Tag is a fun-flled, two-player chase game that all members of the
family will enjoy.

The Studio II keyboards provide 4-way control so each player can maneuver his
tag "spot".  The players alternately chase each other,w ith 10 points scored
for each tag.

The players must pay close attention, because if no tag is made after about
10 seconds, (and after each tag) the player who is "it" changes, and the chaser
becomes the runner.  Only the chaser can score.

You can fool your opponent by running off one side of the screen and appearing
on the opposite side.  The computer won't let you stop and hide though--you
must keep moving.

The winner in Tag is the player who is ahead at the end of two minutes--or the
first to reach 300 points.

* Both players use keys 2 (up) and 8 (down), and 4 (left) and 6 (right) to move
  the spots.  These keys are marked with directional arrows on the keyboard.

* One spot will have a black marker in the center, indicating it is the chaser.
  The spot without the marker is the runner.  The spot will change after each
  tag, or after about 10 seconds if no tag is made.

* The chaser (spot with black mark) must chase the other spot, or runner,
  trying to tag the other spot.

* The runner (spot without black mark) must run away from the other spot,
  trying to avoid being tagged.

* After each tag, the screen will clear, the scores for both players will be
  displayed, and the spots will return to their original positions.  The chaser
  will become the runner.

* The game is over after two minutes, or when one player gets 300 points.

Note: If the metal contact strips on the cartridge become dirty or discolored,
      this could affect the cartridge operation.  These strips can be cleaned
      easily by gently rubbing them with a pencil eraser.  Remove eraser
      residue before inserting cartridge.
