CAUTION: ATTACH CONNECTORS PROPERLY. Be sure that printed circuit board
(PCB) connectors mate properly. If connectors do not slip on easily, do not force them. A
reversed connector may damage your game and void the warranty. Connector keys only
allow a connector to fit one set of pins on a board.
CAUTION: USE CARE WHEN SHIPPING HARD DISKS. The hard disk drive must be
packed in an anti-static bag. When shipping the drive for repair or replacement, pack it in
an approved container (P/N 08-8068). Do not stack or drop hard disk drives. Moving
cabinet while AC power is on can also damage hard drive.
WARNING: HAZARD TO EPILEPTICS. 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.
Welcome to Skins Game!
It’s a beautiful day on the digital fairway. Midway Games West Inc. keeps the greens perpetually
immaculate. In Skins Game, you and up to three other players are invited to practice your putting, perfect
your drive, or simply haul off and lob a bucket of balls into the water hazards. Don’t worry. We’ll refill the
bucket.
Ultra-realistic Skins Game is just like a round of golf, minus the strenuous exercise. Your Midway caddy
warns you about sand traps and water hazards and offers the best route for your shots. She selects what
she thinks is the best club, but you may choose yourself from a full bag of putters, drivers, wedges, and
irons—all custom crafted for optimal performance. As you enjoy your game, birds chirp peacefully in the
distance and the sun shines with nary a cloud to speak of. Heatstroke is never a problem.
Adjust your stance and shot direction all you like, but your virtual player begins each stroke oriented in the
best stance and direction to hit the pin. While the three-dimensional terrain forces your ball to follow
Newtonian physics, your shot “snaps”to the pin unless you choose to aim elsewhere. And a peek at the
wind gauge may convince you to do so! The wind will send your ball off course if you’re not careful.
Of course in Extreme Mode, say bye-bye to Mr. Newton as you change the ball’s path or spin in mid-flight.
Players who don’t dawdle at the tee earn QuickShot bonuses, rewards for hitting the ball within 15
seconds. Collecting 10 QuickShot bonuses gives you an extra Power Shot. And Power Shots mean added
distance with your clubs. However, you must carefully time the joystick release, or your Power Shot
becomes a nasty hook or slice. Normally, players earn one Power Shot for each three holes.
As your game improves (or not), a hard drive records your scores. With the keypad, you can enter a PIN
that identifies you and calls up your statistics–in case there was any doubt about your birdie on the fourth
hole at Eagle Ridge.
