On Your Mark

The game is for one player against the Channel F Com-
puter. The computer plays according to international 
checker rules. That is to say that a jump must be taken 
whenever possible. If you try another move when you 
should be taking a jump, that checker you try to move 
will not move.


Get Set 

Insert the cartridge into your unit with the edge label 
toward you and the top label facing up. Press reset 
button. This will automatically set up the checker board 
on the screen. The red checkers at the bottom of the 
screen are controlled by the player and the green 
checkers at the top of the screen are controlled by 
the Channel F Computer.


Go

To move any checker, you must first locate the cursor 
over that particular checker that you would like to move. 
The cursor is indicated by a white bordered square. 
You can only move the cursor square diagonally 
around the screen.


The Game

To move a checker, first hold the hand controller with 
the indicator on the knob pointing directly away from 
you. Let's assume that the knob is the center of a clock 
face with the indicator pointing away from you towards 
12 o'clock. To move the cursor towards a particular 
checker you must move the hand controller in the fol-
lowing manner:

1-To move the cursor from lower left to upper right 
  push the hand controller knob toward 1-2 o'clock.
2-From upper left to lower right push the hand con-
  troller knob toward 4-5 o'clock.
3-From upper right to lower left push the hand con-
  troller knob toward 7-8 o'clock.
4-From lower right to upper left tilt hand controller 
  knob toward 10-11 o'clock.

When you have located the cursor over the checker you 
wish to move, push down on the hand controller. A 
dark square will appear around the checker. To erase 
the move, pull up on the hand controller.

To move the selected checker repeat the cursor move 
instructions. Move cursor with checker to desired 
square, push down on the hand controller. Note: if move is 
illegal, checker will not move. You must then select 
the correct move.

Your captured checker will appear on the right. The 
Channel F captured checkers will appear on the left.

This is a great way to sharpen your skills.
