GAME DESCRIPTION
Based on the fun-filled arcade game, Exidy's MOUSE TRAP
for COLECOVISION features a cheese-chomping mouse
that you dash around a maze. Open and shut maze doors to
escape the pursuing cats. Eat a bone, then turn your mouse
into a cat-biting dog. But watch out for the treacherous hawk!
GETTING READY TO PLAY
* Make sure the COLECOVISION console is connected to
TV Make sure power supply is plugged into console. Then
plug power supply into a 110/120 volt AC outlet.

Select switch on the console.
* To play one-player MOUSE TRAP, use the controller in
Port 1 (the rear jack). To play two-player MOUSE TRAP,
use both controllers.
* ALWAYS MAKE SURE COLECOVISION UNIT IS OFF
BEFORE INSERTING OR REMOVING A CARTRIDGE. Turn
Off/On switch to On after cartridge is inserted.
USING YOUR CONTROLLERS
Betore beginning to play MOUSE TRAP, insert the overlay
as shown above. (Store overlay in space provided in rear
of your COLECOVISION game cartridge when not in use.)

a two-player game, Player 1 uses the controller in Port 1;
Player 2 uses the controller in Port 2.

Option before beginning to play. Pressing a red, yellow or
blue button (1, 2 or 3) shown on the overlay opens or
closes all doors of that color Pressing the green button (5)
changes your mouse into a dog. Pressing * after a game
allows you to replay the same Game Option; pressing #
after a game allows you to return to the Game Option

HERE'S HOW TO PLAY
STEP 1: The choice is yours.
Press the Reset Button and the title screen for MOUSE
TRAP will appear on your TV. Wait for the Game Option
screen to appear. This screen contains a list of game play
options. Select one by pressing the corresponding number
button on either controller keypad.
STEP 2: The race is on!
After you select a Game Option, the first of your three mice
appears in the maze. Move your mouse through the maze,
trying to eat all the small cheeses.
STEP 3: Cat and mouse.
Watch out for the pursuing cats! Open and close maze doors
to block their paths.
STEP 4: Dog gone it!
When the cats become too clever, your mouse can become a
dog if it has eaten a bone (you get one bone at game start).
Check the Bones Remaining Indicator If you have a bone,
press the green Dog Button (5) to turn your mouse into a
cat-biting dog for a few happy moments. But be careful. Each
time you press the green Dog Button (5), you use up one
bone. So, eat more bones, but save them up to get your
mouse out of tight spots.
NOTE: You can save as many bones as your mouse can eat,
but the Bones Remaining Indicator will show a maximum of
five.
STEP 5: Hawk alert!
When playing games at Skills 2,3 and 4, beware of the hawk
that flies out to catch your mouse or dog. Enter the "IN" box
to escape to one of the maze corners and confuse the hawk.
STEP 6: Eat and run.
Bonus prizes appear one at a time in certain locations on the
screen and earn you points when eaten. Start with the large
cheese and go on to other special treats.
Eat all the small cheeses and win a bonus--then move on to
another maze and even livelier action. Keep playing until you
run out of mice
Press * to replay the MOUSE TRAP Game Option that you
have been playing. Press # to go back to the Game Option
screen.
NOTE The Reset Button on the console "clears" the computer
It can be used to start a new game at any time, and can
also be used in the event of game malfunction.
