How to Use the Starpath SuperCharger System


Set up your Atari Video Computer System (or any similar game system that
takes Video Computer System game cartridges) according to manufacturer
instructions. Use joystick controllers.

Make sure power switch is OFF, and insert the Starpath Supercharger with
label up. Be careful not to force it or to insert it crookedly.

Connect the plug on the end of the Supercharger cable to the earphone jack
of any cassette recorder/player * (This jack may also be labeled monitor,
mon., ear, or output)

For best results, keep the cassette player at least a few inches away from
the TV set.

Turn the power switch of the game ON. The TV screenshould read "REWIND TAPE,
PRESS PLAY." If not, turn the power off and check to be sure the system is
properly hooked up and the Supercharger is fully inserted.

Insert Side A of RABBIT TRANSIT. Side A of the cassette is the quick load
side; Side B is the standard load side. Some cassette players may not
load reliably on the quick load side. If so, flip the tape over and use
Side B.
Set volume and tone controls near high or maximum. Press REWIND and wait
until the tape stops moving. Now press PLAY. In a few moments, you will hear
the sounds of the game loading and see colored panels fill the screen. A
moment later "STOP TAPE" will appear, and you'll be ready to play RABBIT
TRANSIT.


If you have trouble...

If the tape player makes a screeching noise, you have not plugged the
Supercharger cable into the earphone jack.

If the tape doesnt move, check the batteries in the cassette player.

Rewind the tape completely and try again.

Try Side B of the game cassette if Side A won't load properly.

Set volume and tone controls at high or maximum.

Move the cassette player farther from the TV set and try again.


*If you use a large cassette deck with a "phone" type earphone plug, you may
purchase an adaptor at most electronics specialty stores.


Rabbit Transit

The Object: You are a rabbit trying to get through the Mysterious Meadow
and the Land of Ledges to start a family and make it grow.

The Situation: Meadow meanies are trying to prevent you from getting to
your friend, the turtle, who will carry you down the river to the Land of
Ledges. Sneaky snakes, bothersome butterflies, chattering choppers and other
meanies will send you back to the top of the Meadow or take away one of your
chances. 
If you avoid all these obstacles and leap atop the turtle, you will go to
the Land of Ledges.
Here, you will hop from ledge to ledge, attempting to turn them all into
one magic color. But beware of a heartless man who will interfere by dropping
rocks and undoing all your hopping efforts.
If you do succeed in changing all the ledges into the magic color, you will
go to the Bunny Bushes and start your family.

Each level of play consists of three screens:
Screen 1: The Mysterious Meadow
Screen 2: The Land of Ledges
Screen 3: The Bunny Bushes


The Mysterious Meadow

Race as fast as you can through the Mysterious Meadow, down to the river and
atop the turtle's back, Your friend will carry you to the Land of Ledges.
On your way to the river, you will face a variety of meanies - snakes,
butterflies, choppers and others. The butterflies will send you back to the
top of the Meadow. Other meanies will take away one of your chances.

There may be fences in the meadow. You must go through the fence gate to
continue your progress. You can only make diagonal jumps in your journey
to the river.
Once you have reached the river and jumped on the turtle's back, he will
transport you to the Land of Ledges. You will lose a chance if the clock runs
out before you hop onto the turtle's back. When you return to the Meadow, it
will be different and more difficult.


The Land of Ledges

Now your task is to jump from ledge to ledge and change each one to the
magic color indicated at the top left of the screen. Be careful of the
nasty man throwing rocks at you. If a rock hits you, you'll lose one of your
chances.
As the game progresses, the man will start undoing your magic by reversing
the colors of ledges you have already changed. You'll have to retrace your
jumps and convert the colors again.
Complete the Land of Ledges screen before time runs out and you'll move to a
new screen, the Bunny Bushes.


The Bunny Bushes

In this segment, you have at long last found your mate. This cartoon screen
will allow you to stop, rest and watch your family grow before venturing back
into the Mysterious Meadow again. (You can skip this screen by pressing the joystick
button).

Scoring

as you advance toward the turtle. Points are also awarded for the time remaining
when you reach the turtle, so the faster you reach the turtle, the higher your
score.
Screen 2: The Land of Ledges. Points are awarded each time you change a ledge
to its magic color. Points are also awarded for the time remaining when the screen
is complete.
You must complete each screen before the timer shown in the lower right corner
of the screen reaches zero. A warning tone will Sound when the timer is almost out.
If you do not complete the screen in time, you will lose one of your chances.
An extra chance is awarded at 10,000 points. The number of extra chances remaining
is shown at the bottom of the screen.


Tips for Top Scores

Remember to hold the base of the joystick at the correct angle to avoid jumping
the wrong direction.
Lure the heartless man toward the center ledges. As soon as he hurls his rock,
hop over and change an edge ledge or two. But hurry back to the center ledges
before the man returns with another rock.
