-

-
- GOAL: Reproduce the random color sequence generated by the
- computer.
-
- GAME OPTIONS: Presently there are three game types;
- 1) Single board - the color sequence is confined to a
- single board
- 2) Two boards
- a) Mixed - the color sequence can range randomly
- across either board
- b) Alternating - Think of this as playing two
- independent games in alternation (your score
- is the sum of the two games)
-
- You can set the speed of the flashes by adjusting the
- speed bar. Once you have found a good speed, you can
- store that default speed by choosing save defaults from
- the menu. This will also save the particular game type
- that you are currently playing.
-
-
- SCORE: Your score is the number of rounds that you
- successfully completed. This is one less than the round
- that you were playing when you missed.
-
- HOW TO PLAY: Once you have chosen the game type,
- click the on START button. The computer will respond by
- flashing one of the colors. Click on that color. The
- computer will respond by repeating the first color and
- adding another color to the sequence. Try to reproduce
- the sequence exactly. When you make a mistake, the
- computer will beep at you. Your score is reported as
- the last round that you reproduced correctly. To start
- a new game of the same type, just click on the CONTINUE button.
- To start a new game of a different type select OPTIONS to
- change the game type. After you have selected the game type,
- select START from the menu.
-
- PROMPT: Using the prompt shows you the next color in
- the sequence, but it also subtracts one point from your
- score each time you use it.
-
-
- LIMITATIONS: Currently the game is designed to
- allow a maximum sequence of 50 colors within one game.
- If you exceed that, you should stop playing the game and
- apply for work as a memory chip.
-
- REGISTRATION: You are entitled to play the game 50 times
- before you register it. After the 50 games are played the
- board goes dead. At that point you should register it if
- you wish to continue playing it. By registering the game,
- you can avoid the opening screen and play the game as often
- as you want. Your board will also show that you have registered
- the game. Send $5US check, cash or money order to

- would also be appreciated. Future versions of the game will
- have a MIGRATING COLORS option; the four colors will migrate
- to different positions between rounds, but you still have to reproduce
- the correct color sequence.
-

- to a Bulletin Board or archive site, you should do so only
