1. Aim at the Menacer logo on the screen and pull the TRIGGER. The MENU
for the six different Menacer games will appear.
2. Point the Menacer at the game title you want to highlight it and pull the
TRIGGER.
GETTING READY TO PLAY
A series of screens may appear before your game starts. Follow the instruc-
tions on each screen to get ready to play.
• If your game features the ACCU-SIGHT cursor, you’ll see a screen that lets
you turn it ON or OFF. Point the Menacer at your choice and pull the TRIG-
GER.
• When you turn the ACCU-SIGHT cursor OFF, you will see screens for set-
ting Binocular Module Attached/Binocular Module Off. Point at your choices
to select (both will get the same result) and pull the TRIGGER. Then you will
see screens for setting your aim for deadeye shooting. Follow the instruc-
tions on each screen to continue.
• Use the ADJUST AIM SCREEN to set your targeting accuracy. Aim at the
center of the target. If the mark hits the center, your aim is perfect. If the
mark appears somewhere else, adjust the sight on the Binocular Module, or
aim a little differently down the BARREL of the Master Module.
• Use the TEST AIM SCREEN to practice your shooting. Hold down the
TRIGGER for MACHINE GUN ACTION.
• You can practice for as long as you want. When you are ready to start a
game, shoot at the OK.
NOTE: For the best accuracy, play the whole game at the same distance and
more than 3 feet from the screen. Eight feet is the ideal distance.
PEST CONTROL
Blast away at bugs, bugs, and more bugs as you search in the dark for creepy
crawlers who crave your food!
Zillions of wiggly insects are running off with your pizza. Track them with
your Menacer’s laser beam, and stop them cold with a quick shot.
SCORE
• Pupa – 5 points
• Tiny Bug – 10 points
• Normal Bug – 25 points
• Large Bug – 50 points
SURVIVING THE ICHY INVASION
• Blast the Drones before they can drag their tidbits to the edge of the
screen.
• Press the A or B Button to light the entire screen. Please note: You can
not shoot any bugs while the A or B Button is depressed.
• Queens explode into tiny Baby Bugs. Now you’ve really got a swarm on
your hands!
• Nail two bugs at once when they are close together
• Zap the BUG SPRAY to whap all pests on the screen.
• Watch your score skyrocket as you blast away. But when the pizza is gone,
the game is over.
• Don’t overheat your Menacer by shooting too fast!
READY AIM TOMATOES
Jam packed fun! Lob tomatoes at Crazed Dentists, Bogeymen, and loads of
funky foes with those hip-hoppin’ aliens ToeJam & Earl.
You’re ToeJam, tossing squishy tomatoes at a field full of Earth-freaks. Earl
keeps score and lays on the good words (even when your aim is way off –
NOT!).
Before the game starts, shoot at ACCU-SIGHT ON to get the ACCU-SIGHT
cursor in the first five levels. If you choose ACCU-SIGHT OFF, you are on
your own!
• SCORE: Earl adds up the points as you fire away.
• TOMATOES: Amount of ripe ammo left.
• LIFE: As long as you have LIFE, the game goes ON.
• ACCURACY: Percent of tossed tomatoes that actually hit a target.
HINTS FOR SHOOTIN’ THE FRUIT
• At the start of each level, Earl tells you how many points you need to clear
the round.
• You start with 25 tomatoes, and get a new one every few seconds, Use up
all your ammo and you’re a sitting duck!
• Starting at Level 2, you’ll lose 5% of your Life every time you get hit (watch
for the big tomato splats).
• Smack Hamburgers, Fudge Cakes, and other snacks to gain back 5% of
your life plus 500 points!
• Shoot Bushel Baskets for 10 extra tomatoes at once!
• Get giant scores! Plop juicy fruit on Cupids, Chicken Gangs and all the
whacked-out beings you can.
• Smaller critters are harder to hit so they’re worth more points.
• Blast a bomb and blow up every enemy on the screen.
• Hit a Star Tomato for rapid fire. Suddenly, you’re plastering tomatoes left
and right without pulling the TRIGGER. Star Tomatoes don’t use up your
ammo or affect your accuracy.
• Whack a Sign and the game scrolls backward. Now fire away at the foes
you missed before.
• Tornadoes pack a wallop – and always shoot back.
• You can hit the Bogeyman even when he’s invisible.
• Smack the Wizard for luck – and see what you get!
• Look for surprises as the levels get higher. For example, make it to Level
13, shoot the Clock and watch what happens.
• Gain bonus points after each round for Accuracy and tomatoes left over. If
your score isn’t high enough to clear the round, you’ll play the level over.
FRONTLINE
Eat dust while battling an onslaught of tanks, jets and helicopters! The ACCU-
SIGHT cursor pinpoints your targets.
It’s a scrappy, non-stop war for survival. In a hot, dirty desert dustbowl. Feel
the sweat. Ache to the pounding ammo blasts. Spit the grit from your teeth
and grab your Menacer. Now shoot to win!
• SCORE: Blast the enemy and watch your points add up!
• LIFELINE: You can take 10 hits before the game ends.

Missiles. Use the B-Button to launch missiles.
