Installing or repairing PC boards with power ON can damage components and void the warranty. WARNING: GROUND GAMES . Avoid electrical shocks! Do not plug in a game until you have inspected and properly grounded it. Only plug this game into a grounded, three-wire outlet.

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 a family member experiences symptoms linked to an epileptic condition (e.g., seizures or loss of awareness), consult a physician at once before playing video games. W e 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 a physician.
Skins Game Conversion KitSetup - 3 Welcome to Skins Game! It’s a beautiful day on the digital fairway. Midway Games W est 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. W e’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. W hile 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. W ith 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.
