Hanna-Barbera's top dog, Scooby Doo, is off and running!  In practically no
time, he must catch three ghosts who can turn on a dime! Then Scooby Doo must
grab a sandwich and win a magic bone. Meanwhile, Scooby Doo GETS chased by a
skull! There are ten ready-made mazes.  Play on these, change them or program
your own maze patterns using the computer keyboard.

OBJECT OF THE GAME

Keep Scooby Doo alive and scoring!  At the start, Scooby Doo has 3 lives. (Bonus
4th life after 25,000 points.)  Skull can be stopped by dropping a magic bone in
its path.  But all bones must be earned.  At harder levels, skull moves much
faster!

TRY IT!

1. When the title comes up, press ANY key on the keyboard

2. To "SELECT MAZE"... press keyboard key from 0 to 9 and press RTN (Return)

3. Select 1 or 2 player game, press keyboard key 1 or 2 and press RTN (Return)

4. Press controller DISC to make SCOOBY DOO chase & catch each of 3 GHOSTS
within 30 seconds of each other. [Picture of Scooby catching Ghosts] Then catch
a SANDWICH to win a magic BONE [Picture of Sandwich and Bone]

5. Press SIDE buttons to drop a magic BONE.  This temporarily stops the skull
that keeps chasing Scooby Doo.

6. SCOOBY DOO has 3 lives.  If the SKULL catches them all, GAME'S OVER! Press
ANY keyboard key to bring up "1 OR 2 PLAYERS" for a new round, same maze.
(Press RESET to select a different maze.)

Nice try!  But that is just a sample.  To really enjoy the whole game, read the
rest of the booklet.

YOUR CONTROLS

Slide SCOOBY DOO'S MAZE CHASE overlays into the Hand Controller frames so they
cover the keypads.  [Picture showing overlay insertion] Insert the game
cartridge in the Computer Adapter cartridge slot.  Turn the TV and Master
Component ON.  [Picture showing where to insert cartridge].

YOU WILL NEED A COMPUTER ADAPTOR AND COMPUTER KEYBOARD AS WELL AS AN
INTELLIVISION MASTER COMPONENT TO PLAY THIS GAME.

Any SIDE action button on either hand controller will drop a magic bone to block
the skull and make him "sleep".  (2nd bone may not be dropped while another is
still on screen.  Bone will STAY where it is until hit by skull.)

HOW TO START Press ANY keyboard key.  When you see...

SELECT MAZE

press any key from 0-9 and press RTN (Return).  The maze you chose will come on
the screen.  You'll play on the SAME maze through all 13 skill levels. [Picture

SKILL CLOCK

Watch the Skill CLock at the bottom of your screen.  Clock hands will show "2
o'clock" for skill level two, etc.

MORE ABOUT GAME PLAY

Use the controller DISC to make Scooby Doo chase the ghosts.  The first ghost
caught will disappear off your screen for exactly 30 seconds.  (Watch the screen
and see how many points you'll get for that ghost!)  The next two ghosts must be
caught within that SAME 30 seconds!  If you don't do that, the first ghost will
reappear in the same place Scooby Doo caught him originally.

GRAB THAT SUBMARINE SANDWICH

When all three ghosts are caught in 30 seconds, the skull will stop right where
it is for 5 seconds.  Skull will then vanish and a sandwich will appear. Now for
the hard part!  Your task is to make Scooby Doo catch his favorite submarine
sandwich & eat it up.  But all the time you have is the time remaining until
that first ghost is due to appear!

WIN THEM BONES!

When Scooby Doo grabs a sandwich, you've won yourself a magic bone! Dropping a
bone in the skull's path will stop it from chasing Scooby Doo! Press any hand
controller side action key to drop a magic bone to block the skull and make him
"sleep".  How LONG the skull will stay asleep depends on the level of
difficulty.  (At the harder levels, the skull takes short naps only!)

13 SKILL LEVELS

The Skill level of the game goes up every 2000 points from the start. (See
"Scoring.")  When the level goes up, here's what happens... Maze COLOR will

CHANGE A MAZE...OR PROGRAM YOUR OWN!

Maybe you'd like to rearrange a present maze -- shift a wall or reposition a
corner?  Or better still, why not start with a blank space and program your OWN
original maze design!  The EDIT MODE lets you do either or both.

READY-MADE MAZE

To change any of the 10 ready-made maze patterns...

1. Answer "SELECT MAZE" by pressing 0-9.  (DON'T press RTN as yet.)

2. Press LETTER "E" on the keyboard.  RED CURSOR will appear.

3. Use DIRECTION ARROWS to move red cursor.

4. Use keyboard letters U or D or L or R to ERASE a line alread there. Or ADD A
NEW LINE in a blank space.

Finished rearranging?  Press RTN to bring up "1 or 2 PLAYERS" and continue as
usual.

TO PROGRAM YOUR BRAND NEW MAZE DESIGN... 1. Answer "SELECT MAZE" by pressing "3"
on the keyboard.

(Don't press RTN as yet.) 2. Press Letter "E", RED CURSOR will appear. [Picture
showing lines being added to an empty maze] 3. Use DIRECTION ARROWS & LETTERS U
or D or L or R to program your own maze pattern.

Finished programming your own maze?  Press RTN to bring up "1 or 2 PLAYERS" and
continue as usual.

ONE THING YOU CAN'T DO You cannot erase the four outside border lines.

WINNING TIPS

1. WIN THE BONES!  Dropping a Magic Bone in its path stops the skull, keeps
Scooby Doo alive & scoring points!

2. PRACTICE THE MOVES!  Press the controller DISC at the edges. Practice moving
Scooby Doo up, down, right & left.

3. USE A BLANK MAZE FOR PRACTICE.  Try it with no walls, or corners to worry
about.  Watch out for the skull!

4. DON'T GET CAUGHT chasing a ghost into a dead end with a skull following close
behind.  Avoid a trap!

5. TRY TO INTERCEPT the sandwich instead of chasing it.

6. WATCH WHERE YOU DROP the magic bones!  You may have to lead the skull into
the bone.  (This gets a lot harder at higher skill levels!)
