Pepper II
by Coleco


For one or two players
Select from four skill levels

Plays like the PEPPER II arcade game!

GAME DESCRIPTION

There's plenty of fasten-ating action in Coleco's PEPPER II from Exidy Guide
your Pepper angel up the track. It's like a zipper! Zip all the tracks around
a room. then zip an entire maze! You can zip through four different mazes,
then try four more, only this time the tracks can disappear!

But PEPPER II is still more tricky. Roaming Eyes rush after you from every
maze exit. A Zipper Ripper unzips all the tracks that don't surround rooms.
What's a poor Pepper angel to do? Enclose a room containing a pitchfork or
a magic box and briefly change into an Eye-catching devil! The fun can get
only wilder as this crazy-maze game zips on!

GETTING READY TO PLAY

Make sure the COLECOVISION console is connected to TV and power supply is
plugged into the console. Then plug the power supply into a 110/120 volt AC
outlet.

TV should be on and tuned to the same channel as the Channel Select Switch
on the console.

To play one-player PEPPER II, use the controller in Port 1 (the rear jack).
To play two-player PEPPER II, use both controllers.

ALWAYS MAKE SURE COLECOVISION UNIT IS OFF BEFORE REMOVING OR INSERTING A
CARTRIDGE. Turn Off/On switch to On after cartridge is inserted.

USING YOUR CONTROLLERS

NOTE: For a one-player game, use the controller plugged into Port 1 For a
two-player game, Player 1 uses the controller plugged into Port 1; Player 2
uses the controller plugged into Port 2

1. Keypad: Keypad Buttons 1-8 allow you to select the Game Option you want
to play. Pressing * after a game allows you to replay the same Game Option;
pressing # after a game allows you to return to the Game Option screen.

2. Control Stick: Pushing the Control Stick in any of four directions (up,
down, left or right) causes Pepper to move in the direction selected.

NOTE: Side Buttons are not used in PEPPER II.

HERE'S HOW TO PLAY

NOTE: If you are playing a two-player game, players take turns. Player 1
begins, and each turn lasts until the player's Pepper is eliminated.

Choose your challenge.

Press the Reset Button. The Title screen appears on your TV Wait for the Game
Option screen to appear. It contains a list of game options, numbered 1-8.

Skill 1 is the easiest level, suitable for beginners.

Skill 2 action is faster than Skill 1, but not as demanding as the arcade
game.

Skill 3 plays much like the arcade game.

Skill 4 is more challenging than the arcade version! Select a game option by
pressing the corresponding number button on either controller keypad.

Zipping down the track.

Pepper zips to the first intersection and stops. Push the Control Stick in
the direction you want Pepper to go. Pepper won't move through a turn unless
you push the Control Stick in the direction of the turn. To zip down a new
track, push the Control Stick just as Pepper reaches an intersection. Pepper
moves fast. You move fast, too!

Zip a track, zip a room!

You earn points each time Pepper reaches an intersection. As Pepper speeds
along a fresh track, the track zips up! When Pepper zips all the tracks around
a room, the room fills with a colorful pattern and you earn more points. But
watch where you're going! Pepper unzips zipped tracks when they don't fully
enclose a room.

Gonna gitcha!

You've had a few seconds to adjust. Now the Roaming Eyes enter the maze. Don't
touch them! They eliminate Pepper on contact. See that super speedy green
character ( Skills 2 - 4 only)? That's the Zipper Ripper, sworn to unzip all
the tracks that don't fully enclose a room. Nasty! Keep clear of the Zipper
Ripper, too, because he'll eliminate your Pepper angel.

A devilish idea.

Can't stand to be chased? Enclose a room containing a pitchfork and turn the
tables on your pursuers! The tracks change color, the music plays and angel
Pepper briefly changes into a Pepper devil. Devil Pepper eliminates every pair
of Roaming Eyes it catches, and you earn points! Plus, the Zipper Ripper can't
move while Pepper's devilish. If it's in your way, run right over it!

Whoa!

When those few moments of victory are used up, the music stops and the tracks
change color again. The Roaming Eyes and Zipper Ripper will be looking for
revenge. So be clever. After those few devilish seconds, keep your distance!

Watch the magic box.

See that room in the center of the maze? Sometimes there's a pitchfork in it.
Other times there's a little green box. Enclose this room while the box is
displayed and angel Pepper becomes a devil again. But when Pepper changes
back, the Zipper Ripper quits the maze for a short time.

Bonus prizes.

What's a safety pin or a hammer doing in some of the rooms? They're bonus
prizes. Each time you enclose a bonus prize room, the bonus prize is displayed
in the Bonus Prize Indicator. You earn 910 points times the number of bonus
prizes you've earned in the game!

Next maze.

Don't like the maze Pepper's in? There's an exit on each of the maze's four
sides. Zip out the exit and presto! Pepper enters a new maze with new bonus
prizes, pitchforks and a magic box. Oh yes, the Roaming Eyes and Zipper Ripper
will join Pepper shortly!

Back so soon?

If you return to a maze right after leaving it, almost nothing about the maze
changes. The Roaming Eyes and Zipper Ripper are waiting for you. However, all
the zipped tracks that didn't fully enclose a room are unzipped.

But if you wait a few seconds before returning, your opponents are gone!
Zipped tracks that didn't fully enclose a room are unzipped again. But now
you've got time to zip while the Roaming Eyes and Zipper Ripper await their
cues!

Speed, speed, speed!

Try to complete the maze as quickly as possible. The longer you take, the
faster your opponents go!

Enclose all the rooms.

When you enclose all the rooms in a maze, you win more bonus points. When
you enclose all the rooms in all four mazes in a play level, you earn Super
Bonus points.

Now the game gets serious! In the next play levels, the tracks can disappear,
leaving only the intersections and your memory to guide you! But life has
some pleasant surprises. Now when you enclose the magic box room, all the
Roaming Eyes leave the maze. And in a matter of moments, the Zipper Ripper
leaves, too!

Starting over.

Press * to replay PEPPER II 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 game memory . It can be
used to start a new game at any time, and can also be used in the event of
a game malfunction.

SCORING

each time Pepper encloses a room. Every room has a different value (displayed

pairs of Roaming Eyes.

Pepper eliminates Roaming Eyes:

First .....100 points
Second ....250 points
