HERE'S HOW TO PLAY
PLUCKY PENGUIN EXPLORER
The Penguin explorer must make the run from one ice station to another,
avoiding obstacles, before the timer counts down to zero. If the timer does
reach zero before he arrives at a station, the game is over. When the
penguin has just ten seconds of time left for his run, a warning alarm sounds!
(Screen shot of game screen: Score, High Score, Stage, Time Remaining,
Distance Remaining, Speed Indicator, Fish, Flag, Ice Puddle, Seal, Ice
Crevasse and Penguin.)
The explorer's first goal is reaching the Austrailian Ice Station. Press
the Control Stick up to make him move fast. Once he reaches his "cruising
speed", he stays at that speed until he skitters around an ice puddle or
crevasse, collides with a seal or falls into an ice crevasse. Press the
Control Stick down to slow the penguin down.
ON THIN ICE
Slide and glide to the "Skater's Waltz" as the penguin speeds toward a
station. Move the Control Stick left or right to make him waddle around ice
puddles, ice crevasses or seals. Watch out - don't wander too close to the
edges of the obstacles or the penguin skitters and loses valuable time!
ICE DANCING
Sometimes it's easier for the penguin to jump over obstacles rather than
slide around them. Press either Side Button or the Yellow or Orange Action
Button to make the penguin jump over an obstacle. Earn 30 points for a
successful jump.
SLIP SLIDIN' AWAY
If the penguin falls into an ice crevasse, he must scamper out again. Press
either Side Button or the Yellow or Orange Action Button to make the penguin
jump out of the crevasse and back onto the ice. Press the Control Stick up
to get him cruising again.
CURIOSER AND CURIOUSER
Playful seals are curious about the penguin's progress over the ice fields.
As the penguin moves toward an ice station, one of the seals pops up
frequently through holes in the ice to see what's going on! Press the
Control Stick left or right to glide around this mischevious fellow. Press
either Side Button or the Yellow or Orange Action Button to make a daring
jump over this curious critter. Try to make the jump over the seal's
shoulders since a head-on jump usually guarantees a collision. Earn 30
points for a successful jump.
CAPTURE THE FLAG
Previous polar explorers have scattered bright green flags across the polar
ice fields. Dart the penguin through a flag and earn 500 points!
FLYING FISH
Exploring burns up lots of energy and the penguin gets very hungry! As he
races across the ice, fish leap up through the ice holes toward him. Earn
300 points for each fish the penguin catches.
ICE STATION PENGUIN
When the penguin reaches an ice station, he hoists the station's flag and
salutes. Congratulate yourself - you're definitely hero material! Warm up
and keep on truckin'! You've got nine more ice stations to reach on your
ANTARCTIC ADVENTURE!
STARTING OVER
When you end one ANTARCTIC ADVENTURE game, press ANY Keypad Button to begin
another!
Reset
The Reset Button on the console or the ADAM stops the game and returns you
to the Title screen. It can be used at any time to start a new game, and
can also be used in case of game malfunction.
SCORING
When the penguin completes a run into an ice station before the timer counts
down to zero, you earn a bonus of 100 points for each second left on the
timer. You also earn points when the penguin jumps over an obstacle,
captures a flag or catches a fish.
Penguin Action Points Scored
Capturing a flag............500 points
Catching a fish.............300 points
Jumping over an obstacle.....30 points
You start your adventure with on penguin explorer; he is never eliminated
from play. However, the penguin is slowed down by falls into ice crevasses,
skitters around ice puddles or crevassees and collisions with seals. Each
delay loses valuable exploration time. If time runs out before the penguin
reaches an ice station, the game is over.
