HUMAN CANNONBALL(TM) (1 OR 2 PLAYERS)
Shoot your man out of the cannon and into the water tower. Calculate the position of the cannon. The speed (in miles per hour) and the degree of the angle are indicated on our screen. It’s all part of Human CannonballTM with 8 different games to choose from. Watch it! Any miscalculation and your man will miss. Ouch!
Be a daredevil!
Careful now, the Human Cannonball(TM) is counting on you to make your calculations accurately. Otherwise he'll end up flat as a pancake and you'll end up with 0 points or a miss to show for it! The objective of this game is to shoot the man out of the cannon and into the water tower. To accomplish this, you must consider the following variables:
•The angle of the cannon (establishes the line or arc of trajectory the man follows after being shot from the can- non).
•The speed (MPH) at which the man travels after being shot from the cannon.
•The distance between the cannon and the water tower.
These variables are set by you and/or the computer, depending on the game you're playing. In some games, the cannon position remains fixed throughout the game. There are 8 game variations in all. Each game variation contains a one- and a
Controls
Use your Joystick Controller to adjust and set the game variables. Press the red button on your Controller to shoot the man out of the cannon.
In games where the cannon angle can be adjusted, pressing the Joystick up or down increases or decreases the angle by 1 degree. Pressing up and to the left increases the angle by 10 degrees, and pressing down and to the left decreases the angle by 10 degrees.
The minimum cannon angle for all games is 20 degrees. The maximum angle is 80degrees. The cannon angle is shown near the top, middle of the screen. The cannon itself only approximately shows the angle.
In games where the speed (MPH) can be adjusted, the Joystick works as follow:
The maximum speed for all games is 45 MPH. It is possible, (but not practical for scoring) to adjust the speed down to 0 MPH. The speed is displayed near the top of the screen, just above the cannon angle. (Example: MPH = 38). Pressing the Joystick to the right will increase the speed by 1 MPH while moving to the left will decrease it by 1 MPH.
In games where the cannon's position can be adjusted, pressing the Joystick up moves right slowly while pressing down moves left slowly. Press the joystick to the right or left to move right or left in a fast pace.
In Games 1, 2, 3, and 4 the water tower can be moved back and forth after the man is shot from the cannon. In these games, pressing the Joystick left or right moves the tower left or right.
