your player will get the ball. When your play- er gets close to the basket, press the A key to shoot the ball. (See Shooting Power, below.) Any infraction during the game results in the word “FOUL” being displayed on screen. Then press the START key to simply start the ball again. If a ball just hits the rim of the hoop, the other team can shoot again only if the ball is brought beyond the 3-point line. Otherwise, it is considered a foul. Whenever a team gets a shot, the other team then takes possession of the ball. You are automatically promoted to the next level when you win or tie in each level.

GAME 2: FREE THROWS

If you select FREE THROWS, you control the accuracy and distance of the free throws. The player stands at the free throw line and aims the shots by using the CROSS meter explained below:

Horizontal bar: The first bar moves quickly left and right on the meter to control the left/right accuracy of your shot. Press the A key when the ball is in the center of the bar to aim the shot.

Vertical bar: The second bar will move up and down to control the distance of your free throw. Press the A key when the ball is in the center position. Aim with both the horizontal and vertical bars accurately and you get the shot!

GAME 3: DESIGNATED SHOOTING AREAS

In this game option, the computer player will assign certain positions on the court for three minutes. You have to control your player to use those designated spots for shooting.

SHOOTING POWER

In all three game modes, you can control the shooting power affecting the accuracy of a shot. To control the power, press and hold the A key. A moving “power ball” will be dis- played at the top of the screen. When you reach the desired power level, release key A and shoot the ball. Remember: the shooting power will affect the accuracy of your shot!

2-PLAYER MODE

If you have the optional two-player connect- ing cord* you can connect two units if you’d like to play with two players. Be sure both units are turned off when connecting the cord, and be sure to insert the cord properly.

Next press the ON/OFF key to turn on the units. When the demo screen is on the LCDs, press START on either unit to begin a two-player game. The player who first presses START will

be Player 1, dressed in white. The other is Player 2, dressed in dark clothes.

The LCD will then display “TIME 5:00.” Only Player 1 can press up or down on the DIREC- TION KEY to select a match time (3:00, 5:00, 8:00 & 10:00 minutes.) To confirm the desired match time, press START. (Note: The offensive or defensive status of a player will be dis- played on screen.)

SLEEP MODE

If no button is pushed for five minutes, Jam Fest Basketball will enter a sleep mode. Press the ON/OFF key to restart the unit.
