Life's not easy for Hoppin' Clyde. He used to enjoy bouncing around an electronic grid, lighting the tiles as he went, but a short circuit has turned this once harmless game into a real shocker! Keep Clyde off the flashing hot tiles or, ZAP, he's toast!
Load the program using Menu 64. Clyde starts each game at a random spot on the grid. Move the joystick in the four cardinal directions to make him jump from tile to tile. When he lands on a dark tile, it lights up and you earn ten points multiplied by the present game level. (Backtracking over a tile turns it off again, and your score sags by the same amount.) You advance to the next level by lighting all of the tiles.
The deadly current pulses back and forth along each row of the grid, pausing briefly at the end before moving back again. Clyde can avoid the electric tiles by jumping either away from or over them. Jumping over takes precise timing.
He starts a game with three lives, and the timer counts down from 100. With each succeeding level, he gets an extra life and the timer loses two seconds. Clyde loses a life each time he gets zapped or the timer runs out.
Press the shift-lock key to pause the action and the run-stop key to resume it. The colorful screen always shows Clyde's current life, the timer, your current score and your high score for the session.
