Magnavox Odyssey Shooting Gallery — Instructions (1972)

DYSSEV. JHOOTIflG GALLERY Im^rW J I in . . . offers you an exciting new dimension the enjoyment of your ODYSSEY game simulator. Your SHOOTING GALLERY in- cludes the ELECTRONIC RIFLE, two Printed Circuit Game Cards and 4 different Game Overlays in two sizes. The total unit offers six variations for testing your skill! ELECTRONIC RIFLE Your Rifle is sturdily constructed and is completely safe. It does have an electronic circuit and therefore should be used only with the ODYSSEY game simulator. It is designed to extinguish a light (or target) that appears on the television screen when either Game Card 9 or 10 is inserted into the Master Control Unit. Since the rifle is sensitive to all light sources, it is important that the room lighting (lamps and sunlight) be adjusted to simulate normal light for evening television viewing. Note: If the rifle is aimed at a light source other than that which s on the screen (such as a lamp or sun-brightened window), it will extinguish the target. GENERAL SET UP INSTRUCTIONS 1. Set up your ODYSSEY unit as outlined in your Installation and Game Rules book you received with your ODYSSEY game simulator. Be sure that the television receiver is turned on. 2. Plug the Rifle cord into the ACC (accessory) receptacle on the back of the Master Control Unit. 3. Insert Game Card =9 into the Master Control Unit. If a white spot of light is not visible on the tele- vision screen, cock the rifle by sliding the pump handle back towards the trigger and then releasing it (as illustrated). Should the light still not be visible, rotate the Player 2 Vertical and Horizontal Con- the light is in the center of the screen. Stand approximately six feet from the television screen and aim the Rifle at the spot of light. When the trigger is squeezed, the spot of light should disappear-if your aim is accurate. If the light does not extinguish, continue cocking the rifle and trols until pulling the trigger while moving closer to the screen. Once you have extinguished the light and are certain of your aim, return to a position of approximately 6 feet from the television screen and cock the rifle to reset the target. Now aim the rifle at each of the four corners of the screen and pull the trigger. If the target should extinguish, turn the brightness control on your television down and the contrast control on your television up. This will lower the light level of the screen background and brighten the target. 4. GAME CARD #9 displays on the screen a single target which may be moved by the right player rotating the Player Control 2 Vertical and Horizontal Control. GAME CARD #10 is used to display a continuously moving target. The moving target is set up by positioning Player number 1 on the far left side of the screen and Player number 2 on the far right side. With both ENGLISH controls in the upright center position, the target is activated by depressing the RESET button on the Player Controls. A slight adjustment of the ENGLISH controls may be required to make the target continuously bounce between player #1 and player #2. Once this is accomplished, the HORIZONTAL Controls of both Player Controls should be turned to move the players off the screen so that the moving target is the only visible light on the screen. The SPEED Control on the Master Control Unit may be used to adjust the speed of the target.
