pedestrians from falling into the sewage canal.

Game B requires more
coordination, technique and timing.

will clear and if no misses are recorded all points are awarded double score
until a miss is made.

Keep moving!!!!!
Points:
When pedestrian passes each manhole without falling into the sewage, a point
is scored.
Misses:
When a pedestrian falls into the sewage a miss is scored. Three misses and
the game is over.
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 four 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.
