Venture
* For one or two players
* Select from four skill levels
Plays, sounds and scores like the VENTURE arcade game!
GAME DESCRIPTION
Winky has climbed deep inside a dungeon laden with
incredible treasures, but guarded by terrible monsters.
Equipped with only bow and arrows, he seeks the treasures
as the monsters close in. Guide him through the dungeon
rooms . . . but don't stop to count your treasure until you're through!
GETTING READY TO PLAY
Make sure the COLECOVISION console is connected to
TV and power supply is plugged into 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 VENTURE, use the controller plugged
into Port 1 (the rear jack). To play two-player VENTURE,
use both controllers.
* ALWAYS MAKE SURE COLECOVISION UNIT IS OFF
BEFORE INSERTING OR REMOVING 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.
Using the Buttons and Control Stick for VENTURE
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 its
eight directions causes Winky to move in that direction . It
also points his bow in the same direction.
3. SIDE BUTTONS: Pressing either Side Button causes
Winky to fire an arrow.
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
Winky is eliminated.
STEP 1: The choice is yours.
Press the Reset Button. The title screen will appear 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: Down to the dungeon.
After you select your game, the treasure block screen
appears. Question marks in the screen are replaced with
treasures as you earn them. Next, Winky appears in the first
level of the dungeon.
STEP 3: Time to explore.
While Winky is in the hallway, he appears as a small dot.
Beware of the treacherous Hallmonsters that search for him.
Winky can't eliminate the Hallmonsters, so he must try to avoid them!
STEP 4: Search and seizure.
Move Winky into one of the dungeon rooms to capture the
treasure within. But each room is infested with monsters. Fire
arrows at them for points. Just be careful--if Winky even
touches a monster, living or dead, he will be eliminated.
EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED! In some rooms, monsters may
appear or disappear at special times. In the Cyclops Room,
the cyclopes even "teleport" from place to place!
The Wall Room has deadly moving walls instead of monsters.
Winky must squeeze past the walls to get the treasure.
Remember, Winky's arrows cannot harm the walls!
STEP 5: Don't overstay your welcome.
Try to capture the treasure and eliminate the monsters
quickly. If Winky stays in the room too long, a Hallmonster
appears and tracks him down. After you seize the treasure,
you can go on to victory in another room!
STEP 6: There's no turning back.
Enter all the rooms on a level. Once you have seized the
treasure and left the room, you may never return. When you
have captured all the treasures on a level, descend deeper
into the dungeon to even more dangerous adventures.
To replay the VENTURE Game Option that you have been
playing, press *. To go back to the Game Option screen, press #.
NOTE: The Reset Button on the console "clears" the computer.
It can be used to start a new game at any time and can
also be used in the event of game malfunction.
