Generally the time for the eggs changing to dragons is shorter and the moving cloud is faster as you progress to the first screen with increased difficulty. This sequence continues. Note: Frame 1, Round 2 2 clouds disappear Frame 2, Round 2 1 cloud comes and goes away Frame 3, Round 2 Length of moving cloud is shorter 11. 3 Chances for each game. One extra chance is awarded if you complete the third frame, but the maximum number of chances will not exceed 4. 12. End Game When you lose all chances the game ends. The screen will remain for 30 seconds and then go to the demonstration mode. Restart game play by pressing the reset switch. 13. Hints: The best strategy for the first 3 frames is to find the shortest route to the sun while taking all the bonus objects. On the third frame, pay attention to the cloud just below the sun; it will disappear and reappear on the other side. After the third frame you must try to kill all eggs before they change to large eggs or dragons. Tigervision 909 Orchard Mundelein, IL 60060 copyright 1982 Tiger Electronic Toys, Inc.
