LOADING



Position the cassette in your tape recorder with the printed side 

upwards and make sure that it is rewound to the beginning. Ensure that

the connection lead goes from EAR socket on the recorder to the EAR 

socket on the Spectrum and that the MIC socket is disconnected.



Type LOAD "" <ENTER> (Note there is no space between the two quotes)

the " is obtained by pressing SYMBOL SHIFT and P key simultaneously. 

For further instructions consult the section on loading in your manual.

Now press PLAY on the recorder. The screen message should appear and 

the game will load automatically. If this does not happen try adjusting

the volume and tone controls until loading takes place. At the end of 

the loading process follow the screen instructions.



PLAYING



Your turn to be the juggler!



You must get all eight plates to spin simultaneously and to do this

requires skill and strategy. Approach the table from one side and by

pressing the fire button you can pick up the plate, remember to push 

the joystick in the direction in which the Juggler is moving. Now 

approach the rod from the side positioning the Juggler with his feet at

the same level as the bottom of the rod and by pressing the fire button

again the plate will begin spinning. Should a plate slow down and begin

to wobble the Juggler must be lead back to the rod and rotate the plate

to keep it going.



You can also do real juggling tricks like tossing up the plates and 

catching them, this comes in useful for they change colour at random 

and the different colours rate different scores. (The best bet is the

white plate which has the maximum points and keeps spinning for the

longest time).



When you develop real skill you can take the darker plates to the back

of the stage and, by pressing the fire button, get rid of them. All

eight plates up and spinning gets you to the next, even more difficult,

screen.



Good Luck!



STATUS AND SCORING



On screen scoring shows Hi-score, current score and time elapsed. 

Points are awarded for all the tricks performed and are a multiple of 

the number of plates spinning and the colour of the plate being handled.



There are ten screens of difficulty and bonus points are gained for 

completion of each level within the time frame.
