- INSTRUCTIONS
-
- Object of the game is to move around the screen completing three sides of a
- box and not being hit by the meanies.
- Cover over 50% of the screen and move to the next level.
- If you complete a border the box will fill and you are ready to start again.
- The cursor keys or keypad control direction. Using the keypad has an
- advantage since you can stop yourself by pressing the five key. Be careful
- because stopping yourself on the red can cost you a life if you are hit while
- sitting there.
- The HIGHER THE NUMBER you input for GAME SPEED the slower the action.
- The HIGHER THE NUMBER you input for MEANIES the farther they move.
- Reversing direction while on the red playing field zapps you.
- Safe area is anywhere except for the red area.
- Hitting a mine takes a life.
-

-
- "Alt S" toggles sound on/off
- **"Alt A" toggles minefields
- **"Alt F" Change speed settings
- **"Alt D" Toggle Number of Meanies
