[Screen Shot of Maze]
Hanna-Barbera's top dog, Scooby Doo, is off and running!  In
practically no time, he must catch three ghosts who can turn on a dime!
Then Scooby Doo must grab a sandwich and win a magic bone.
Meanwhile, Scooby Doo GETS chased by a skull!
There are ten ready-made mazes.  Play on these, change them or
program your own maze patterns using the computer keyboard.


OBJECT OF THE GAME
Keep Scooby Doo alive and scoring!  At the start, Scooby Doo has 3 lives.
(Bonus 4th life after 25,000 points.)  Skull can be stopped by
dropping a magic bone in its path.  But all bones must be earned.  At
harder levels, skull moves much faster!


TRY IT!
1. When the title comes up, press ANY key on the keyboard
2. To "SELECT MAZE"... press keyboard key from 0 to 9 and press RTN (Return)
3. Select 1 or 2 player game, press keyboard key 1 or 2 and press RTN (Return)
4. Press controller DISC to make SCOOBY DOO chase & catch each of 3 GHOSTS
within 30 seconds of each other. [Picture of Scooby catching Ghosts]
Then catch a SANDWICH to win a magic BONE [Picture of Sandwich and Bone]
5. Press SIDE buttons to drop a magic BONE.  This temporarily
stops the skull that keeps chasing Scooby Doo.
6. SCOOBY DOO has 3 lives.  If the SKULL catches them all, GAME'S OVER!
Press ANY keyboard key to bring up "1 OR 2 PLAYERS" for a new round,
same maze.  (Press RESET to select a different maze.)

Nice try!  But that is just a sample.  To really enjoy the
whole game, read the rest of the booklet.


YOUR CONTROLS
Slide SCOOBY DOO'S MAZE CHASE overlays into the Hand Controller
frames so they cover the keypads.  [Picture showing overlay insertion]
Insert the game cartridge in the Computer Adapter cartridge
slot.  Turn the TV and Master Component ON.  [Picture showing where to insert
cartridge].

YOU WILL NEED A COMPUTER ADAPTOR AND COMPUTER KEYBOARD AS WELL
AS AN INTELLIVISION MASTER COMPONENT TO PLAY THIS GAME.

[Picture showing Intellivision Controls]
Any SIDE action button on either hand controller will drop a magic bone to
block the skull and make him "sleep".  (2nd bone may not be dropped while
another is still on screen.  Bone will STAY where it is until hit by skull.)


HOW TO START
Press ANY keyboard key.  When you see...
SELECT MAZE
press any key from 0-9 and press RTN (Return).  The maze you chose will come
on the screen.  You'll play on the SAME maze through all 13 skill levels.

SKILL CLOCK

"2 o'clock" for skill level two, etc.

MORE ABOUT GAME PLAY
Use the controller DISC to make Scooby Doo chase the ghosts.  The first ghost
caught will disappear off your screen for exactly 30 seconds.  (Watch the
screen and see how many points you'll get for that ghost!)  The next two
ghosts must be caught within that SAME 30 seconds!  If you don't do that,
the first ghost will reappear in the same place Scooby Doo caught him
originally.

GRAB THAT SUBMARINE SANDWICH
[Picture of Scooby heading for the Sandwich]
When all three ghosts are caught in 30 seconds, the skull will stop right
where it is for 5 seconds.  Skull will then vanish and a sandwich will appear.
Now for the hard part!  Your task is to make Scooby Doo catch his favorite
submarine sandwich & eat it up.  But all the time you have is the time
remaining until that first ghost is due to appear!

WIN THEM BONES!
When Scooby Doo grabs a sandwich, you've won yourself a magic bone!
[Picture of magic bone]
Dropping a bone in the skull's path will stop it from chasing Scooby Doo!
Press any hand controller side action key to drop a magic bone to block the
skull and make him "sleep".  How LONG the skull will stay asleep depends on
the level of difficulty.  (At the harder levels, the skull takes short naps
only!)

13 SKILL LEVELS
The Skill level of the game goes up every 2000 points from the start.
(See "Scoring.")  When the level goes up, here's what happens...
Maze COLOR will change
SKILL CLOCK will change (5 o'clock for 5th skill level, etc)
Both ghosts and skulls will CHANGE characteristics!

7               red              At highest skill levels,
8               pink             skull moves FASTER than
9               light green      SCOOBY DOO!  The ONLY way
10              blue             to stop it is to drop a
11              gray             magic bone in its path!

13              BLANK SCREEN     Maze becomes invisible,

CHANGE A MAZE...
OR PROGRAM YOUR OWN!
Maybe you'd like to rearrange a present maze -- shift a wall or reposition
a corner?  Or better still, why not start with a blank space and program
your OWN original maze design!  The EDIT MODE lets you do either or both.

READY-MADE MAZE
To change any of the 10 ready-made maze patterns...
1. Answer "SELECT MAZE" by pressing 0-9.  (DON'T press RTN as yet.)
2. Press LETTER "E" on the keyboard.  RED CURSOR will appear.
[Picture of Red Cursor]
3. Use DIRECTION ARROWS to move red cursor.
[Pictures of keyboard Arrow Keys]
4. Use keyboard letters U or D or L or R to ERASE a line alread there.
Or ADD A NEW LINE in a blank space.

Finished rearranging?  Press RTN to bring up "1 or 2 PLAYERS" and continue
as usual.


TO PROGRAM YOUR BRAND NEW MAZE DESIGN...
1. Answer "SELECT MAZE" by pressing "3" on the keyboard.
(Don't press RTN as yet.)
2. Press Letter "E", RED CURSOR will appear.
[Picture showing lines being added to an empty maze]
3. Use DIRECTION ARROWS & LETTERS U or D or L or R to program
your own maze pattern.

Finished programming your own maze?  Press RTN to bring up "1
or 2 PLAYERS" and continue as usual.


ONE THING YOU CAN'T DO
You cannot erase the four outside border lines.


WINNING TIPS
1. WIN THE BONES!  Dropping a Magic Bone in its path stops the
skull, keeps Scooby Doo alive & scoring points!
2. PRACTICE THE MOVES!  Press the controller DISC at the edges.
Practice moving Scooby Doo up, down, right & left.
3. USE A BLANK MAZE FOR PRACTICE.  Try it with no walls, or
corners to worry about.  Watch out for the skull!
4. DON'T GET CAUGHT chasing a ghost into a dead end with a
skull following close behind.  Avoid a trap!
5. TRY TO INTERCEPT the sandwich instead of chasing it.
6. WATCH WHERE YOU DROP the magic bones!  You may have to lead
the skull into the bone.  (This gets a lot harder at higher skill levels!)
