[Snapshot of the game screen.]

You control The Jetsons' space-traveling jet as it races after letters to
spell words.  What's in the way?  Robots and spaceshits, extra letters and
saucers.  Oops! *!#CRASH *!#!! You've lost 500 points.  Next time, be quick!
Dodge the obstacles!  Spell the word!  Or else lose more big points.

----- OBJECT OF GAME -----

Capture letters in the right order to spell words!  As each game progresses,
difficulty increases.  More robots, saucers, spaceships, random letters
interfere.  The right letters in the right order are harder to catch.
Action-packed challenging fun increases vocabulary and spelling skills on 3
levels!

direct George Jetson.

----- A WORD BEFORE YOU PLAY -----

Words are the name of the game!  You have 3 sources for the words you play
with, known as _target_ words:

YOU CAN USE ...
1 ... a variety of 384 words pre-programmed into the game.
2 ... your own words typed on the screen before each game.
3 ... your own words stored on casette.  This is a great way to use vocabulary
tailored to your own skills and to work on words which are particularly
difficult for you.  To store and use a vocabulary list on casette, see pages
12 and 13.

----- SELECT SOURCE OF WORDS -----

At the start, you'll see the Jetsons' spaceship racing across the title
screen.  Press the [Disc] for the next screen which asks:

Are you using a prerecorded tape?

IF YES, TYPE IN [Y] THEN PRESS [RETURN].
      - For hook-up of casette see page 12.
      - Press [PLAY] on the casette recorder
      - Then press [RETURN] on the keyboard
      - Turn to page 8 for "HOW TO PLAY"
IF NO, TYPE IN [N] THEN PRESS [RETURN].  The computer then asks:

Do you want to type in new words?
IF YES, TYPE IN [Y] THEN PRESS [RETURN].  The computer instructs:

TYPE IN 1-8 WORDS

- Type in words from 4 to 14 letters long.

- After each word press [RETURN]:  this puts the word into the computer.

- If you want less than 8 words, press [ESC] after entering your last word.

- Computer will select words at random from your list during the game.

NOTE:  To save game words on cassette for future play, see pages 12 and 13.
If words are NOT saved, memory will be erased when system is turned off.

To backspace and delete letters, press <.

If NO, TYPE IN [N] THEN PRESS [RETURN].  You'll use words pre-programmed into
the cartridge.  You have a choice of three vocabulary levels:

VOCABULARY LEVEL (1-3)
      1. BASIC
      2. INTERMEDIATE
      3. ADVANCED

Each level is programmed with 128 words.  You'll find words such as:

      BASIC:  cloudy, whole, certain, decide
      INTERMEDIATE:  advance, credit, security, gather
      ADVANCED:  stubborn, intuition, pollute, presentation

Type in the level number you want, then press [RETURN]

----- SELECT GAME MODE -----

Whether you're playing with your words or cartridge words, you have a choice
of several playing modes.  Press the number for the mode you want, then press
[RETURN].

MODE I:
In the mode you see ALL LETTERS in the target word displayed at the start of
each playing screen.  If you pick up the wrong letter 3 times in a row, the
complete word comes on the screen, and the letter you're looking for flashes
within the word.

[Snapshot of the game screen, with an arrow pointing to the TARGET WORD,
"SUNNY," which is being displayed in the center of the screen.]

MODE 2:
In this mode you see only a PORTION OF THE LETTERS displayed at the start of
each playing screen.

[Close-up snapshot of the game screen, with an arrow pointing to the TARGET
WORD, "SUNNY," which is only partially displayed this time.]

MODE 3:
(FOR CARTRIDGE WORDS ONLY, SEE PAGE 8) In modes 1 and 2 clue words, such as
synonyms and antonyms flash on the screen.  In mode 3, no clue words are given
in cartridge play.

----- SELECT DIFFICULTY LEVEL (1-4) -----

Press the number of the difficulty level you want, then press [RETURN].  Level
1 is the easiest!  As the difficulty level increases, more obstacles appear.
Robots and spaceships move at faster speeds and maneuver with greater
"intelligence."  Letters slide away.

NOTE:  As you play, games automatically get harder within a single level.  The
maximum difficulty is reached after 16 words.  If you want more challenge, try
the next level.

----- HOW TO PLAY -----

PLAY BEGINS IMMEDIATELY!

GAME USING CARTRIDGE WORDS

To help identify cartridge words, synonyms or antonyms flash on the screen
prior to your target word when playing in modes 1 and 2.

SYNONYM:  a word with the SAME meaning as the target word.

ANTONYM:  a word OPPOSITE in meaning from the target word.

[Snapshot of the game screen, with an arrow pointing to the ANTONYM, "CLOUDY,"
which is being displayed in the center of the screen.]

[Snapshot of the game screen, with an arrow pointing to RANDOM LETTERS,
LETTERS, THE JETSONS' SPACESHIP, ROBOT, and SAUCER.]

1.  Build a word!  Press the Disc to move George Jetson in the direction to
capture the FIRST letter in the target word.

2.  To pick up a letter, George Jetson has only to touch it.  You must pick up
a letter in sequence in order for it to be considered "captured" and to win
points.

3.  Stay clear of random letters and letters out of sequence.  A crash costs
big points.  See SCORING, page 12.

4.  A letter picked up out of sequence carries a penalty.  The letter will
flash yellow in the correct position within the word.

5.  You can pick up letters only on horizontal lanes.

6.  Ramps are safe!  Dodge up a ramp to avoid collision.  No objects interact
with each other.

7.  As you make or lose points -- capture the right letter or crash with an
obstacle -- you score flashes across the screen.

8.  Good try!  If you want to try again, after a complete round of words,
press [RETURN] The same words can be used again, or new ones can be typed in
now.

in center, and the score at the top of the screen.]

----- GAME USING YOUR WORDS -----

[Snapshot of the game screen, with arrows pointing to the SAUCER, ROBOT,
RANDOM LETTERS, TARGET WORD, and THE JETSONS' SPACESHIP.]

1.  The computer will select words at random from the words you have typed on
the screen, or stored on a cassette.

2.  In this case, you will not have a synonym or antonym as a clue.

3.  For how to play the game, see page 8.

----- WINNING TIPS FOR BUILDING VOCABULARY SKILLS -----

Educators Suggest

- A word usually has more than one meaning.  Look words up in the dictionary
to learn the variety of meanings.  You can also check words in a thesarus, or
an antonym/synonym dictionary.

- Use the word in three different sentences.

- Build a dictionary of words on 3" X 5" cards.  Write the word on one side,
and the meaning on the other.  You can also write an antonym or synonym on one
side and the word on the other side.

----- SCORING -----

1.  A letter captured in correct order is worth 500 points.

2.  A letter, if once picked up out of sequence then later captured correctly,
is worth only 100 points.

3.  A crash with a robot, saucer or spaceship penalizes your score 500 points.

4.  A crash with a random letter penalizes your score 250 points.

5.  If you capture all letters in correct order with no crashes, you're
awarded a 2,500 point bonus.
      YOU HAVE THE WORD!  GO FOR IT!
