TRIPLE ACTION
(for 1 or 2 players)
(for color TV viewing only)
copyright 1981 Mattel, Inc.
THREE FOR ALL...
BATTLE TANKS Take command of a fast battle tank and stalk your enemy in
deadly one-on-one combat. Use the walls for cover, as you move fast into
firing position. But LOOK OUT! During the battle the shells can
ricochet...suddenly it's like being in a shooting gallery -- and you're both
targets!
CAR RACING Take the wheel on a road full of crazies...you've got 100
"miles" to go. And it's not easy, as you steer around wrecks, get stuck
behind a maddening crawler, cope with weaving road hogs! You can play this
one alone and try to beat your best time -- or compete side-by-side with a
friend!
BIPLANES The red baron himself never had so many chances for glorious
battle. Put on your goggles and get up in the sky -- don't climb too fast,
or you'll stall out and crash! When you get some altitude, you can level
off and wait for the balloon to go up. Shoot it down! And watch out for
the enemy plane...don't let him get you in his sights. Do some acrobatic
flying -- right into a cloud!

Game?
Press Game Number, then press ENTER.
BATTLE TANKS
The Object: Outmaneuver and outshoot your opponent and score 15 points first.
Strategy: Keep moving...take shelter behind walls (trees won't protect
you)...figure the angles and distance, take aim and fire first. Watch out
for bouncing shells, so you don't get hit yourself!
How to Play - Choose one of these options, then press Enter:
1 Long-range bouncing shells
2 Short-range bouncing shells
3 Long-range, non-bouncing
4 Short-range, non-bouncing
Each option requires a different battle strategy.
Press either LOWER Action Button to make your tank move forward.
Press edge of Direction Disc to steer your tank.
To fire your cannon, press one of the TOP Action Buttons. (Note: You can be
blown up by one of your own rounds when playing game option #1 or #2, so be
ready to get out of the way, fast!)
Up to 3 shells from each tank can be visible at one time, and you won't be
able to fire again until at least one of them disappears.
The game is over when one tank score 15 points.
CAR RACING
The Object: To drive 100 "miles" in the fastest time.
Strategy: Drive fast, but carefully. Watch out for road hogs, reckless
drivers and other travelling fools!
How to Play - Choose one option, then press ENTER:
1 "Normal" traffic
2 "Heavy" traffic
Press either TOP Action Button to make your car move forward. Keep pressing
button in to maintain top speed.
Press either LOWER Action Button to brake (Note: it takes a while to get
your car stopped, so don't tailgate!).
Press left or right side of Direction Disc to change lanes.
Crashes cost you time, so drive defensively.
The game is over when odometers read 100.
BIPLANES
The Object: Score 15 points first, by shooting down your opponent's plane or
the ascending balloon...and by not crashing your own plane!
Strategy: Keep your plane flying under control to get more shots at the
balloon when it goes up..use cloud cover and aerial skill to outmaneuver
your opponent during "dogfights".
How to Play: Choose one of these options, then press ENTER:
1 Short-range bullets
2 Long-range bullets
Take off by pressing either LOWER Action Button and the top edge of the
Direction Disc.
Don't make your plane climb too fast, or you'll stall and crash. If you
start to lose altitude, press bottom of Disc to head nose down -- so you can
gain speed and stability.
To fire at the ascending balloon or your opponent's plane, aim at the target
and press either TOP Action Button.
You can do loops, dive, even fly upside down -- as long as you maintain
enough "air-speed" to have flying control. Use the cloud cover and
daredevil flying to force your opponent into making mistakes!
The game is over when one plane scores 15 points.
