Game-Play:

You operate Mr. Crab around the screen to push up Demon Crabs. You need to push and clear top row of all Demon Crabs to clear display and move onto the next level. The faster you are the more points you get.

Game differences:

In Game B the timer advances at twice the speed and once the timer is 0 the speed of the Demon Crabs increases every 30 seconds.

Trivia:

Maximum score is 999 and when the score reaches 300 points all misses are cancelled.

Cheats and tricks:

Push and clear top row of all Demon Crabs to clear display.

Points:

10 Points scored for each display cleared. Additional points will be awarded according to remaining time.
Timer value for the first display is 20 points. For each following display cleared, timer value increases by 5 points up to a maximum of 70 points.

Misses:

Upper screen you get a miss when you fail to catch an oil drop or when you try to catch an oil drop when the bucket is full. Lower screen you get a miss if you pour oil over the customers. When either upper or lower screen has 3 misses (shown by fire on the upper screen and by spilled buckets on the lower screen.), the game ends.

Other notices:

If you hold in Game A or Game B key the highest previous score will be displayed. If the unit is left as it is after game is over, time display will appear in about five minutes. A game is not interrupted even if TIME key or other game keys are depressed during game playing. Pressing ACL switch or removing batteries erases high score from memory.

The battery covers seem to have a number on the back, but they seem to vary a lot and I won't even speculate what the difference is.
