PLAYING



Pit your skills and agility against the computer and the clock - in order 

to progress to the next event you must qualify (ie achieve game - scoring 

hints are as follows and we would be interested to hear from any player 

with high marks (100,000 and up is good).



SWIMMING



Wait for the starting gun - racing dive into the pool (by pressing the

fire button). Your swimming speed is determined by continous left/right 

controls, but remember in order to swim you must breath so wait for the 

button. If you breathe at the wrong time you'll swallow water and if you 

forget to breathe you'll gradually slow and stop.



Your opponents have different swimming skills and are controlled by the 

computer if you can beat them all you're on the way to becoming a true 

champion.



SKEET SHOOTING



Computer controlled sights home in on the skeet and marksmanship depends on

fast reaction on the left/right controls. Good shooting gives bonus skeets 

with higher points but as your shooting improves the rate hots up! Good 

shooting.



LONG HORSE



Now test your abilit as a gymnast - press the fire button to run the 

springboard, then again when you're on it - Now when you reach the hand 

stand position press it again to launch into the Somersaults (these are 

controlled by the left/right movemement). The total score is made up of the

distance you get up the springboard, the length of time on the horse, the 

number of Spins you can achieve and the perfection of your landing. Like 

the real event you must perform well right through for maximum marks!



ARCHERY



The target moves accross your field of vision and you must judge wind speed

and the angle of your shot to hit bullseye. First press the fire button to

wind speed/direction, then press fire again to shoot one of your eight 

arrows at the passing target. (Keeping the fire button pressed indicates 

the height of the arrow. Hint:- try to get as close to a 5 angle as 

possible.



TRIPLE JUMP



Co-ordination is the key to success in this event, use left/right controls

to gain the maximum approach speed - and press the fire button as close to

the take off line as possible. For each part of the jump keep the fire 

button pressed to increase the angle of the trajectory and release as close

to 45 as possible. Your score is a combination of the correct speed, angle

and distance.



WEIGHT LIFTING



Now for the final test - a test of strength and stamina. Select the weight,

type and then use the LEFT/RIGHT controls to increase the weight lifter's 

power. Press the fire button when STRONGMAN flashes to give the 

"Powerlift". Continue with power until all three judges acknowledge the 

feat. Your points score is based on weight.



Congratulations you've completed all the events now check your score and 

see if you can do better next time - Good luck.
