CHOOSING A GAME
1. Aim at the Menacer logo on the screen and pull the TRIGGER. The MENU for the six different Menacer games will appear.
2. Point the Menacer at the game title you want to highlight it and pull the
TRIGGER.
GETTING READY TO PLAY
A series of screens may appear before your game starts. Follow the instructions on each screen to get ready to play.
• If your game features the ACCU-SIGHT cursor, you’ll see a screen that lets you turn it ON or OFF. Point the Menacer at your choice and pull the TRIG-
GER.
• When you turn the ACCU-SIGHT cursor OFF, you will see screens for setting Binocular Module Attached/Binocular Module Off. Point at your choices to select (both will get the same result) and pull the TRIGGER. Then you will see screens for setting your aim for deadeye shooting. Follow the instructions on each screen to continue.
• Use the ADJUST AIM SCREEN to set your targeting accuracy. Aim at the center of the target. If the mark hits the center, your aim is perfect. If the mark appears somewhere else, adjust the sight on the Binocular Module, or aim a little differently down the BARREL of the Master Module.
• Use the TEST AIM SCREEN to practice your shooting. Hold down the
TRIGGER for MACHINE GUN ACTION.
You’re ToeJam, tossing squishy tomatoes at a field full of Earth-freaks. Earl keeps score and lays on the good words (even when your aim is way off –
NOT!).
Before the game starts, shoot at ACCU-SIGHT ON to get the ACCU-SIGHT cursor in the first five levels. If you choose ACCU-SIGHT OFF, you are on your own!
• SCORE: Earl adds up the points as you fire away.
• TOMATOES: Amount of ripe ammo left.
• LIFE: As long as you have LIFE, the game goes ON.
• ACCURACY: Percent of tossed tomatoes that actually hit a target.
HINTS FOR SHOOTIN’ THE FRUIT
• At the start of each level, Earl tells you how many points you need to clear the round.
• You start with 25 tomatoes, and get a new one every few seconds, Use up all your ammo and you’re a sitting duck!
• Starting at Level 2, you’ll lose 5% of your Life every time you get hit (watch for the big tomato splats).
• Smack Hamburgers, Fudge Cakes, and other snacks to gain back 5% of your life plus 500 points!
• Shoot Bushel Baskets for 10 extra tomatoes at once!
• Get giant scores! Plop juicy fruit on Cupids, Chicken Gangs and all the whacked-out beings you can.
• Smaller critters are harder to hit so they’re worth more points.
• Blast a bomb and blow up every enemy on the screen.
• Hit a Star Tomato for rapid fire. Suddenly, you’re plastering tomatoes left and right without pulling the TRIGGER. Star Tomatoes don’t use up your ammo or affect your accuracy.
• Whack a Sign and the game scrolls backward. Now fire away at the foes you missed before.
• Tornadoes pack a wallop – and always shoot back.
• You can hit the Bogeyman even when he’s invisible.
• Smack the Wizard for luck – and see what you get!
• Look for surprises as the levels get higher. For example, make it to Level
13, shoot the Clock and watch what happens.
• Gain bonus points after each round for Accuracy and tomatoes left over. If your score isn’t high enough to clear the round, you’ll play the level over.
FRONTLINE
Eat dust while battling an onslaught of tanks, jets and helicopters! The ACCU-
SIGHT cursor pinpoints your targets.
• You can practice for as long as you want. When you are ready to start a game, shoot at the OK.

PEST CONTROL
Blast away at bugs, bugs, and more bugs as you search in the dark for creepy crawlers who crave your food!

• Hold down the TRIGGER for a steady, unlimited burst of machine gun fire and red tracer bullets.
• Some vehicles and aircraft can return fire. Sweep the field with machine gun blasts to keep attackers to a minimum.

SPACE STATION DEFENDER
Defend Lunar Station 1 by disintegrating wave after wave of laser-gunning aliens.

• With NORMAL, the alien pods will open in an orderly pattern; with RAN-
DOM they’ll open in an unpredictable pattern.

DEEP SPACE SURVIVAL GUIDE
• Destroy the invaders before they shoot. You can only hit them when their pods are open.
• Insectoid weapons are highly accurate. Every alien blasts hits its mark – you! And you lose one life.
• Fire on the satellites that flash by overhead to gain Shields. Each Shield protects you from one alien hit.
• Shields disintegrate in a grid pattern when blasted by enemy lasers.
• Your laser gun gobbles energy. Watch the gauge at the bottom of the screen and recharge before your energy runs dry. To restore laser energy, point the Menacer at the POWER ZONE at the bottom of the screen. The longer you leave it there, the more energy you’ll regain.
• Recharge between waves, when you have a few seconds’ breather from the mutant attacks.
WHACKBALL
Whack the bouncing ball into the right tiles for big success!
Your Menacer’s a paddle, and you’re a pinball wizard! Smack the ball around the box. The tiles change color when the ball bounces against them. Race to change all the tiles before the timer reaches zero, and you’ve cleared the round!

• TIMER: Change the color of every tile before the timer reaches zero and you’ll clear the level.

IMPORTANT!
This product will not operate properly if connected to a Projection, LCD,
Plasma, Flat Screen or High Definition TV (HDTV). Use only a standard tube type glass screen TV.
If the screen is too dark, please increase the brightness on the television and try again. If brightness increase is not satisfactory, check for low batteries.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
TV
To locate your auxiliary channel, which is usually not 3 or 4, but a gaming channel found mostly found between 2 and 99 (example 2, 1, 0, 99), first try 00 to see if it is the auxiliary channel. Channels downwards from 3 until a Line 1 or
Line 2, Video 1 or Video 2, Front, Aux, AV, etc., appears on screen, then push the power button on the game and it should automatically come on if you have selected the correct channel. If this does not work, another way to determine your auxiliary channel is to take a look at your television remote. There may be a button on the remote that may take you directly to the correct channel. The buttons you are looking for may be labeled Input, AUX, AV, Line, TV/Video, or
Video. If your remote has one of these buttons, turn your television back to
Channel 3 and select that button. The power button on the game should be turned on in order for the game to appear on the television. If your television remote does not have any of these buttons, and channel 00 is not working, you may need to search the main menu for a way to determine your auxiliary channel. If none of these methods have helped you locate your auxiliary channel, you may need to check your owner's manual and/or contact a local television repair company.
VCR
When connecting to a VCR, you must first start with a blue background showing on your television screen. To obtain a blue screen, try inserting a videotape into the VCR, let it start to play, then hit the stop button. This may give you a blue screen, then you can channel down to your auxiliary channel. If the blue screen still does not appear, try entering your TV and/or VCR main menu and see if it gives you options to select a blue screen background. Many times if you enter the main menu on your television you can change the setting from cable to video and display a blue screen. Also if you have an older television, you may locate a hidden door on your television that has color, picture, horizontal, vertical, and cable, antennae buttons. If your television includes this panel, you can select the antennae/cable button and see the blue screen appears. If you have tried all of these options and are still unsuccessful connecting the console, then you may need to check your VCR owner’s manual or contact the manufacturer to find out how to set up your VCR for console games.
Remember, you can't play our games through a cable box or satellite, so if you own one of these make sure it is turned off before connecting the game.
You can connect our games through DVD players with the same connection as a VCR.
If you still have difficulty with setup or operation of your game, please call our players helpline mentioned at the end of this manual.
