Touchmaster® Conversion Kit System - 3 VIDEO GAME MACHINE (VGM) OPERATION STARTING UP Each time the game is first turned on or power is restored, it executes code from the boot ROM. These self-diagnostic tests automatically verify and report the condition of the hardware and game EPROMs. If any individual test fails an error message for that test is displayed for three seconds or until any on-screen button is touched. If a fatal error (i.e., a touchscreen controller fault) is detected, the message remains on the screen until the fault is resolved. In the event of other errors (key problems, low battery, etc.) a message is reported, but the program loads and permits game play. Press the CALIBRATE button at any time to adjust or verify the touchscreen operation. Press the SETUP button at any time to activate the menu system (audits, adjustments, etc.). If you do not press either button, the system completes all tests, then load and run the game. Once all power-up tests are complete, the game goes into Attract mode. Game choice menus alternate with scenes and sounds from typical games repeatedly until game play starts. Insert currency to start the game. Select a game and choose game variables. Play begins immediately. The game progresses until time runs out or you exit from the selected game. If no more play is required, the game automatically returns to the Attract mode. You may insert your own message to inform players of new games, upcoming events, etc. This message then appears as one of the features displayed in the Attract mode. To shut the game off, turn the power switch to the OFF position at any time. PLAYER CONTROLS This game uses an on-screen touch sensor on the CRT face to control all player moves and choices. Players touch the screen for a moment in an active area to enter information. Touching inactive areas of the screen produces no response. The touch sensor responds to only one active input at a time.
