Such physical considerations concern the place- ment of the equipment with respect to these clearances: HEIGHT: 80.00 inches, 203.2 cm. WIDTH: 25.25 inches, 65.1 cm. DEPTH: 35.00 inches, 88.9 cm. An indoor, relatively dust-free environment is necessary, with proper conditions required of any electrical device. Electrical considerations include availability of an AC outlet with the correct voltage and frequency. You should consider the working space required for technicians and operators in- cluding access to the rear of the game. OPTIC TUBE Figure 1-2 CROSSBOW INSTALLATION J NOTE: The cabinet must be within seven feet of an AC outlet. Be certain that a ground jack or terminal is available at the outlet. CAUTION: DO NOT remove the AC ground prong from the plug. Doing so may cause electrical shock. Crossbow™ The Crossbow is detached from Mounting for ship- ping.

The player, armed with a crossbow, is escorting a party of characters (men, women, and dwarves, Etc. ) through various dangerous episodes. The object of the game is to protect these characters from dangers lurking within each level, to remove obstacles impeding their progress, and reach the evil master’s dungeon.

If the party survives that level the player chooses where to go next by trial and error. The player must learn which colored path leads to each scene’s unique element of danger. The adventure ends when all party members are killed. Points are awarded for each target shot and are based on its difficulty level to be hit, bonus points are given at the end of each level for each surviving party member. Surviving certain very difficult levels also awards the player with bonus members, increasing the size of his party. Valuable treasures can be found in some scenes. The final goal is the Evil Master's Lair. == - ‘a: — _——— epee = re ie a. en oo r= <a ty p= . | = c - } , 390 JAVA DRIVE, SUNNYVALE, CALIFORNIA 94089 Tel.
