SCENARIO As varied and as bizarre a collection of unique sporting events as you are every likely to find. Have you got a good enough eye to be a 'crack shot': the nerve to attempt the 'devil dive': the strength to 'smash slates': the accuracy to shoot the 'cross bow': and finally (and unbelievably) triumph over an 'underwater assault course'? GAME PLAY INSTRUCTIONS After loading the commentator will introduce the game and you twill be asked how may players to participate. Up to four players can play against each other. You will then each be allotted a fact and you can type in your names. You will then be asked if you want to play all the events (y/n).

EVENT INSTRUCTIONS CRACK SHOT You have one and a half minutes to shoot as many targets that appear in the alley, as you can. Move the sight around the screen using UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT and FIRE when over a target. Keep an eye on your bullets because after every salvo of six shots, you will have to reload your gun. Don't shoot the alley cats or you will lose points! SCORING Static board - 1 point each hit + 2 if blown to bits Moving target - 2 points each hit Thrown objects - 5 points Alley cat - Lose 5 points DARE DEVIL DIVE Each player has three attempts at this event.
