wish to play with multiple players, press the PLAYERS button. After
making your selections, press the ON/START button to begin the

Multiple Players
The first player will have a chance to complete the entire game. If

plete the game, that player will be ELIMINATED and it's the next
player's turn.
Let's Begin!
Before you begin each game of you must wait for the computer
to say “time is ticking”. Complete the series of four games to
win! BE CAREFUL! If the CORE is knocked the game will end
immediately.
1. LIVE WIRE
The clock is ticking as your first
challenge begins! You must figure
out the first code by quickly plug-
ging the live wires into the correct
ports. After inserting all the wires,
press the ENTER button. The
wires will then light up to let you
know if they are in the correct port
or not.
If a wire lights up RED, it's
plugged into the wrong port. If the wire lights up GREEN, then you
have it! It's in the right port! Keep switching out the live wires until
you crack the code!
2. CIRCUIT BREAKER
For your next challenge, you must
insert all 12 computer chips into
the computer as quickly as possi-
ble in order to complete the cir-
cuit. First, you must remove all
12 chips from the storage com-
partment located at the bottom of
game 2. However, you may want
to do this BEFORE starting the
game in order to save time.
Next, you must insert each com-
puter chip into the correct slot.
Each chip is a different shape, so
it's not as easy as it looks. Spin
the DIAL to view all of the multi-
shaped computer slots. Match
the chips with the correct slots
and insert them all to complete
the circuit! You must insert all 12
pieces to move to the next game.
3. ACCESS CODE
You're almost there! Now you
must successfully decipher and
enter the code to access the core!
First, the keypad will flash the
access code across its individual
buttons (the buttons light up in a
certain sequence). All you have
to do is press the flashing buttons
and enter the correct code.
Simple, right? WRONG!
The computer is very tricky. Wait
till three buttons light up. Follow the flashing buttons. When the
lights go off, repeat the pattern. Then press the buttons to access
the code. Just don't make a mistake. If you do, you'll have to start
