Anteater: Game Instructions

ANTEATER™ is a one-player game. After inserting the ANTEATER™ ECPC™ game cartridge, turn on the system power and press any key for the system menu. Press #2 to enter ANTEATER™.Type N for play without music, or D for demonstration mode only. By pressing 1 through 9, you may choose your starting level of difficulty.

The object of the game is survival. You gain points by moving the ant with the joystick from the colony to the food on the surface and back to the colony. However, when the ant breaks through the surface, he exposes himself to the deadly anteater.

The ant is armed with five deadly eggs that explodes seconds after the fire button is depressed on the joystick or the ant may maneuver the anteater under a falling rock.

The ant moves faster than the eater when travelling in tunnels so you can adjust your distance for laying the delayed eggs by retracing your steps. You have three ants at the start of the game. Returning all four cubes to the colony completes the set and gives you an extra ant. On the second set, you must evade two eaters and on the third set, three eaters. The speed of the game increases with each set.

Good luck.
