Functions of BUT- Tons, Playing the Game | Excalibur electronic 333

Congratulations on your purchase of Excalibur Electronics' ABC Wide World of Sports Tennis! Now you can play an exciting match against an

opponent with the skills of a pro. You can play against the computer or even with a friend!

Your new ABC Wide World of Tennis game is easy to use, but be sure to use it safely. Before starting, please read this manual thoroughly, especially noting safety, care and battery information. Keep this manual for reference.

The legendary King Arthur brandished a magic sword, Excalibur, from which we take our company name. With this unique weapon in his hands, he could not be vanquished.

Although Excalibur Electronics can’t claim the magical secrets of Merlin, King Arthur’s court wizard, sometimes our patented technology may make it seem as if we could.

We make you think.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

Your game requires two AA batteries, not included. To install the batteries, care- fully turn the game over so that the unit is face-down on a soft surface. Find the battery compartment on the back of the unit. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw. Lift off the battery compartment lid. Install the batteries, mak- ing sure to match polarity (+ and -) with the diagram in the compartment. Place the tab of the battery compartment lid in its slot and close the compartment door. Replace the screw and tighten.

PLAYING THE GAME

GAME 1

After you turn on the unit, the message “WORLD CUP TENNIS, YOUR RANK IS SIXTEEN” will be scroll ing onscreen. Your rank position will depend on the match result and the levels you select to play. There are 6 games in each match. Use the direction- al arrows on the keypad to

control the player’s position on the right service court. Then press the SERVE/HIT button to serve the ball. You should hit the ball over the net into the oppo- site service court, or within any line bounding this court. Just as in real tennis, you will make your next serve from the left service court.

GAME 2

In game 2, the player can select One-Round or Three- Round matches. In a One-Round match, the game rules are the same as Game 1. In Three-Round game, the match consists of three sets. If one side wins two out of three sets, the match is over. Before each set starts, the message “SET 1,” “SET 2,” or “SET 3” will appear onscreen.

GAME 3

The game rules are the same as Game 1. In this game, the player with the right keypad will serve first in the first game of each set and the computer serves the ball in the second game. The player with the left controller serves in the third game; the computer serves in the fourth game, and so on.

SCORING

There are 6 games in a match. The player who wins 6 games first wins a “SET.”

(A player must win a set by two games. So if a set is tied 5 games to 5, the set continues until a player wins two games more than his opponent.)

If a player wins his first point,

his score is 15; on winning his second point, his score is 30; on winning his third point, his score is 40; on winning his fourth point he has won the game. The score of each point will be scrolling onscreen. A player must win a game by two points. If each player has scored three points (40-40) the score is then called “deuce.” If a player then- scores 2 points consecutively, he wins the game. (The message “DEUCE-A” (advantage) will appear on-screen when any play- er scores the next point after deuce.
