The first player will have a chance to complete the entire game. If player one finishes all four challenges, that player's time will be the time to beat for the rest of the players. If player one does not com- 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
STORAGE COMPARTMENT - Before beginning the Circuit Breaker challenge, be sure to open this and remove all 12 of the special computer chips, then close the compartment door.
KEYPAD - Press these buttons
as you decipher the code to access the core.
To open compart- ment door lift the door found on side 2.0.
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!
COMPUTER CORE - Grasp the top and carefully lift it out of the unit to avoid a Total Meltdown. While playing the game be careful! If the core is disturbed it will end your game immediately. To quit a game, pull out the core.
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
