Lady Bug
* For one or two players
* Select from four skill levels
Plays, sounds and scores like the Lady Bug arcade game!
GAME DESCRIPTION
Based on the exciting Universal arcade game, ColecoVision
LADY BUG features a fast-paced adventure. Use
strategy to steer your Lady Bug through a maze, dodging
hungry predatory insects. Use turnstiles to change the maze
and block their pursuit! Lady Bug gathers points and bonuses
by eating dots, hearts and vegetables and by spelling
words. But avoid the deadly skulls! How many points can you
rack up before moving on to faster action?
GETTING READY TO PLAY
* Make sure the COLECOVISION console is connected to a
TV and the power supply is plugged into your console.
Then plug 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 LADY BUG, use the controller plugged
into Port 1 (the rear jack). To play two-player LADY BUG,
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.
How To Use Keypad Buttons and Control Stick for LADY BUG
1. Keypad: Keypad Buttons 1-8 allow you to select a Game
Option before beginning 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 Lady Bug to
move in the direction selected.
NOTE: The Side Buttons are not used for LADY BUG
HERE'S HOW TO PLAY
NOTE: If you are playing a two-player game, players take
turns. Player 1 goes first, and each turn lasts until the player's
Lady Bug is eliminated.
STEP 1: The choice is yours.
Press the Reset Button. The title screen for LADY BUG
appears on your TV. Wait for the Game Option screen to
appear. It contains a list of game play options, numbered 1-8.
Select one by pressing the corresponding number button on
either controller keypad.
STEP 2: Getting around the maze.
Move your Lady Bug through the maze, eating dots as she
goes. Avoid running into skulls!
STEP 3: Dodge predatory insects!
Each time the timing border changes color, a new dangerous
insect begins to hunt down your Lady Bug To dodge it,
steer her through turnstiles that only she can move. But be
quick or the insect will take advantage of the open turnstile
and follow through right after her.
STEP 4: Earn extra points and bonuses.
Have Lady Bug eat hearts, letters and vegetables. Hearts
and letters appear in the regular maze screen. Vegetables
appear in both the regular maze screen and the Vegetable
Harvest Bonus screen. Read Bonus Scoring for special hints
on racking up high scores! The game ends when all your Lady
Bugs have been eliminated.

been playing. Or press # to go back to the Game Option
screen .
