EPILEPSY WARNING
A very small portion of the population has a condition which may cause them to experience
epileptic seizures or have momentary loss of consciousness when viewing certain kinds of
flashing lights or patterns that are present in our daily environment. These persons may
experience seizures while watching some kinds of television pictures or playing certain video
games. People who have not had any previous seizures may nonetheless have an undetected
epileptic condition.
If you or anyone in your family has experienced symptoms linked to an epileptic condition (e.g.,
seizures or loss of awareness), immediately consult your physician before using any video games.
We recommend that parents observe their children while they play video games. If you or your
child experience the following symptoms: dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching,
involuntary movements, loss of awareness, disorientation, or convulsions, DISCONTINUE USE
IMMEDIATELY and consult your physician.

GAME OPERATION
STARTING UP
Whenever you turn on the machine or restore power, the system executes boot ROM code. The boot
ROM contains self-diagnostic tests. These tests automatically verify and report the condition of the disk
drive and other hardware. The screen is blank during these tests. If the hardware fails a test, the system
displays an error message. The message appears for 30 seconds or until someone presses a button.
• If nobody presses a button, the system quickly completes tests, and then loads game software.
• To skip boot ROM tests and activate the Menu System, press and hold the TEST MODE button.
Having passed power-up tests, the system enters Attract Mode. Attract Mode consists of typical game
scenes and sounds, alternating with high scores. Attract Mode continues until game play commences.
Players insert currency to start the game. Then they select a CamEvil territory. As a player chooses a
shotgun, the player also selects a character. The game identifies one character with green shotgun
blasts. The game associates the second character with purple shotgun blasts. Each character receives a
starting health level. Play begins after a countdown period. The game progresses until players exhaust
their characters1 health. If players choose not to continue, then the system returns to Attract Mode.
GAME RULES
ONE OR TWO PLAYERS
The player or players insert currency to start the game. Each player chooses a gun and presses the
nearest START button. At the CarnEvil ticket booth, either player selects a territory to begin an adventure.
Indicator bars at the sides of the screen track remaining ammunition for each player.
PLAYER CONTROLS
