Do not move this game with power on. AC POWER CONNECTION. Verify that the switch on the power supply is set for 110VAC or 220VAC according to local line voltage. Verify that the fluorescent lamp assembly is correct for local line voltage. PROPERLY GROUND THE GAME. To avoid electrical shocks, do not plug in the game until it has been inspected and properly grounded. This game should only be plugged into a grounded 3-wire outlet. Do not use a “cheater” plug or cut off the ground pin on the line cord. POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD. This video game system does not utilize an isolation transformer. No isolation exists between the internal cabinet AC system and the external AC line. DISCONNECT POWER DURING REPAIRS. To avoid electrical shock, turn off the power switch and disconnect the game from the AC power source before removing or repairing any part of the game. After servicing any parts of the unit, be sure that all of the ground wires are secure before restoring power. USE PROPER FUSE. To avoid electrical shock, all replacement fuses must match the original fuse in fuse type, voltage rating, and current rating. PROPERLY ATTACH ALL CONNECTORS. Be sure that the connectors on each printed circuit board (PCB) are properly connected. If they do not slip on easily, do not force them. A reversed connector may damage your game and void the warranty. Connectors are keyed to fit specific pins on each board. HANDLE FLUORESCENT TUBE AND CRT WITH CARE. if you drop a fluorescent tube or CRT and it breaks, it will implode! Shattered glass can fly eight feet or more from the implosion. EPILEPSY WARNING A very small portion of the population has a condition which may cause them to experience epileptic seizures or have momentary loss of consciousness when viewing certain kinds of flashing lights or patterns that are present in our daily environment. These persons may experience seizures while watching some kinds of television pictures or playing certain video games. People who have not had any previous seizures may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition. If you or anyone in your family has experienced symptoms linked to an epileptic condition (e.g., seizures or loss of awareness), immediately consult your physician before using any video games. We recommend that parents observe their children while they play video games. If you or your child experience the following symptoms: dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, involuntary movements, loss of awareness, disorientation, or convulsions, DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY and consult your physician. 1-2 PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS Operating Requirements Location Electrical Power Domestic 120VAC @ 60Hz 3.0 Amps Foreign 230VAC @ 50Hz 2.0 Amps Japan 100VAC @ 50Hz 3.0 Amps Cabinet Statistics Shipping Dimensions Width 29.25" (75 cm) Depth 34" (87cm) Height 72" (183 cm) Equipment Characteristics Video Display Monitor Standard Resolution RGB 25” (63.5 cm) CRT Game Characteristics Player Variables 1 or 2 players per game High Score Recognition Temperature 32°F to 100°F (0°C to 38°C) Shipping Weight 325 Lbs. 148 kg.

MONITOR CONTROLS COIN DOOR LI LI SERVICE VOLUME VOLUME TEST CREDITS DOWN UP MODE CASHBOX DOOR CONTROL SWITCHES COIN METER a CONTROL SWITCH LOCATIONS MENU SYSTEM SYSTEM OVERVIEW Game variables and diagnostics are presented in a series of on-screen menus. The Main Menu screen allows the operator to view information, make changes, or verify equipment operation. Each Sub Menu screen displays one specific group of choices. The Detail Menu presents data or runs the required test. You must be at the Detail Menu level to detect errors, make changes, or activate tests. Both the operator controls and the player controls are used to move through the menus and start or stop particular routines. SCREEN LAYOUT Each menu screen is different, but the material presented stays in the same physical location each time. The color bar at the top center of each screen displays the current menu title. The center of the screen is used for data (menu items, video signals, statistics, reports, etc.) The bottom of the screen is reserved for messages (control functions, revision levels, etc.) ORGANIZATION Main Menu screen items fall into two categories: options and tests. Items must be activated manually. Sub Menu screen items offer the operator choices within a category. Some items have no Sub Menu while others may have more than one. You can get back to the previous menu or go on to the next menu. Detail Menu screen items contain specific information. The operator must interact with the system to get results or to make changes. There is always a way to go back to the previous menus from this screen. Use the control indicated to highlight an item on any menu. Only one highlighted item can be selected at atime, To return the game to normal, select EXIT TO GAME, then press the indicated button.

When the selected variable is flashing on the screen, shoot the left or right arrows to change the level as desired. The “Game” volume is continuously adjustable from zero to maximum. The game will seem more realistic if the player experiences high volume sounds during play (these weapons do not have silencers). The “Attract” volume is continuously adjustable from Mute (zero) to maximum. For greater profits, adjust your volume levels to a loud setting to draw attention to this game. The “Attract” and “Game” volume levels may be adjusted to different values independently, but “Attract” cannot be set higher than the level chosen for normal game play. If the “Game” level is lowered, it will automatically lower the “Attract” level. Lowering the “Attract” level will not affect the “Game” setting. The current volume level is represented by the length of a bar made of dots. A longer bar indicates a higher volume setting than a short bar. Factory default for “Game” and “Attract” volume levels is 7. Be certain to press only the left START button after any volume adjustments have been made. The right START button will cancel any settings on the screen and return both levels to the previous screen values. NOTE: These adjustments affect the volume of the tests as well as the game play. If the volume levels are set to minimum (zero), there will be no sounds from the speakers during any of the audio tests. It is recommended that the volume levels be set to a moderately high value each time the sound portion of the game or the speakers are checked. The levels may be returned to their previous settings after the tests have been completed. STATISTICS The Statistics report allows the operator to assess how well the game is being played. In addition to the earnings, various game aspects are tracked to determine the players skill levels. Use a gun or the left START button to select a menu item. The gun is also used to view the range of choices and change its value. Statistics may be reset to zero or allowed to increase after each viewing.

Most of the statistics will increase in value as the game is played. It is normal for some values to remain at zero: for example, the Aux Coins count will not change unless an additional Currency Acceptor has been installed in the game, and the Error Count will not change if no errors have occurred. Low counts in both coin and player statistics may indicate that the game is too difficult for the skill levels of the players at this location; high continue counts may indicate that the game is not difficult enough. The difficulty level and other play characteristics may be adjusted from the Game Options menu. It is recommended that the Statistics be recorded before any service or repairs are done on this game. Press the left START button to view the additional game statistics. This will present the players progress with different game features such as Missions, Secret Rooms, Ammunition Reloads, etc. Press the right START button to see HISTOGRAMS or USER MSGS screens.

The HISTOGRAMS screens will have no bar graphs until the system has enough data to plot. The USER MSGS screen will contain no messages until the system detects an error. GAME OPTIONS These adjustments allow the operator to customize the game. Each of the variables will change some aspect of game appearance or play. Optimum settings cause high player interest and increase earnings. Use a gun or the left START button to select a menu item. The gun is also used to view the range of choices and change its value. Options may be reset to factory defaults or changed after each viewing. Gna e ars Game Difficulty: _ Vy t START GAME OPTIONS MENU SCREEN The illustration shows how this report screen will look after the game has been reset or is first turned on. Fire a gun at the left or right arrows to advance a variable through its range of choices. Some items have more options than others. It is recommended that all of them be viewed before one is selected. The effects of these options can be judged by comparing statistics reports before and after changes were made. As players become more familiar with the game, new features or increased difficulty will make the game challenging and continue to generate interest. Innocents are the unarmed people who appear periodically as they try to escape from the terrorists. The Secret Rooms allow players to collect extra points by demonstrating their target shooting skills. Selection of a different Language changes the player information presented on the screen during a game. It does not change any of the voice announcements, menu screens or tests. It is recommended that the High Scores be recorded before any option changes are done on this game. NOTE: Changes to Game Difficulty or Number of lives will automatically reset the Player High Scores, since these variables directly affect the ability to collect points. COIN OPTIONS The Coin Options are used to set up the coin mechanisms and adjust the pricing of the games. Factory default values can be considered standard. Use a gun or the left START button to select a menu item. The gun is also used to view the range of choices and change its value.

Fire a gun at the left or right arrows to advance a variable through its range of choices. Some items have more options than others. It is recommended that all of them be viewed before one is selected. PRICING OPTIONS Custom pricing sets credits required to start and continue a game, rewards for buy-in and winning, etc. There are no other options if free play is selected. Free game player incentives may reduce earnings. MECH SETUP Mech setup permits the operator to add or remove coin or bill mechanisms. Although values are shown for all devices, changes to unused inputs will have no effect if there is no such mechanism in the game. 1-16 CONTROLS TEST These tests allow the operator to manually check each switch in the game. Gun aim is tested separately. NOTE Some switches may not be used with this game. Check the wiring diagram before testing. Use any gun to select the Controls Test. Press the right START button to begin the test. Activate each switch and the switch indication on the screen changes state. Release the switch and the indicator returns to its previous normally open or closed condition. Switches may be tested in any combination. SONTROLS TEST CONTROLS TEST MENU SCREEN PLAYER CONTROLS are shown on the screen just as they are found on the cabinet control panel. Each switch change should be exactly duplicated by a single indication on the menu screen. The Player Controls Tests are used to verify crossed wires, intermittent conditions, and stuck switches. OPERATOR CONTROLS are shown on the screen just as they are found on the coin door bracket. Each switch change should be exactly duplicated by a single indication on the menu screen. The Operator Controls Tests are used to verify crossed wires, intermittent conditions, and stuck switches. The Coin and Cabinet Switches are shown on the screen without regard for their actual game location. Each switch change should be exactly duplicated by a single indication on the menu screen. These Switch Tests are used to verify crossed wires, intermittent conditions, and stuck switches. GUN TESTS These tests allow the operator to change gun calibration and verify precise aim for all points on the screen. Inaccurate firing will discourage players quickly and reduce repeat game play. Use a gun to select the Gun Tests. Press the right START button to begin the test. Aim and fire each gun at the target until the screen indicates successful calibration. Check all guns for tracking after adjustment. GUN TRACKING SCREEN The illustrations show how these screens will look with all of the factory default settings. Fire guns one at a time to avoid miscalibration. Test and recalibrate guns often to keep the game at maximum earnings. Before calibrating, it is recommended that the gun barrels be examined for presence of dirt or debris. No amount of calibration and testing can fix a dirty optical system, loose components, defective cables, etc. Stand directly behind the gun holder and extend the cable to its full length during these gun tests. NOTE: Bright overhead lights can occaisionally interfere with proper optical gun operation. Reduce light levels and recalibrate guns to eliminate this problem as a source of inaccuracy. DISK TESTS The Disk Tests allow the operator to verify the functions of the Hard Disk Drive Assembly. i af f “Harare Conese, Yes. 16 Heads 4082 Cylinders: 63 SPT 000 Good XXKK To return to menu, Press leftSTART DISK TESTS MENU SCREEN Hard Drive Connected This verifies the interface between CPU Board and Hard Disk Drive. The test takes less than 1 second. The processor requests disk information, but data cannot be retrieved successfully if there is a problem. The results of the test will be reported as pass or fail messages; error messages may be included. Data read through This test routine. The test takes less than 1 second. The results of the test will be reported as pass or fail messages; error messages may be included. Drive ID and Logical Sectors Available These lines report the type of drive and the number of data storage areas found on the hard disk. This number is a result of the disk format which determines how information will be placed on the disk. Sector Test This test will perform a sector by sector read/verify test on the disk drive. As the status of each block of sectors is checked, the speed of the data transfer is compared to its acceptance limits. The results of the test will be reported as pass or fail messages; error messages may be included. Tests Completed These tests run over and over. The number increases each time the cycle repeats (approx. 10 minutes). Program ID This identifies the game revision number and date of the software on the hard disk drive. 1-19 MEMORY TESTS The Memory Tests allow the operator to verify some functions of CPU Board Assembly memory circuits. NOTE These tests detect
