If you press the wrong button for a letter
or number, you can press CANCEL and
start again to enter your target.
The computer tells you whenever a ship
is hit or sunk. When one of the fl eets is
completely destroyed, the computer plays
a tune to signal the end of the game.

You can play 6 types of games with your
Sea Master computer.

ATTLE
This is the standard type of game as
described previously.
Sea Battle / Radar / Reload
There are two differences between this
and the basic game:
(a) Each time you hit an enemy ship, you
have an extra shot. The computer says
“Reload”, and lets you fi re again.
(b) In place of any of your shots, you
may use the “Radar”. Press the letter
and number for a location, then press
the WEAPON button. The computer
says “Radar”, and gives a number of
pings indicating the distance between
this location and the nearest enemy
ship.
Example 1: You press E, 3, WEAPON.
The computer says “Radar”, and gives
one ping. This means that part of an
enemy ship is within one location of E3.
It could be in any space adjacent to E3
(D2, E2, F2, D3, E3, F3, D4, E4 or F4).
Example 2: You press A, 8, WEAPON.
The computer says “Radar” and gives
three pings. This tells you that part of
an enemy ship is within no closer than 3
spaces away (A5, B5, C5, D5, D6, D7,
D8, D9, D10) There is no enemy nearer
to A8.
If part of an enemy ship has been hit, that
part will be ignored by your radar.
Pirate Battle
This is like game 1, but with different
“background” noises. When you hit or
destroy an enemy ship, the computer
simply says “Pirate ship hit/destroyed”
(without stating what type it was).
Pirate Attack
his is like game 3, but at each turn you
have as many shots as your opponent
has ships still afl oat. In other words, the
player who has sunk more ships has fewer
shots, which means that his opponent has
a chance of recovering. Each time the
computer says “Reload”, you fi re again.
Aircraft Sea Battle
Like game 1, but until your aircraft carier
is sunk, you have as many shots per turn
as your opponent has ships still in action.
(The point is that while your aircraft
carrier is afl oat, you have a number of
aircraft for your attacks. When you press
FIRE, you hear the sound of an aircraft
taking off.) Once the aircraft carrier is
destroyed, you only have one shot per
turn.
Sea Attack
Like game 1, except that each player
has two kinds of special weapon: three
torpedoes and three cluster bombs.
To use a special weapon, select a location
by pressing its letter and number, then
