INTRODUCTION
a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. the inhabitants of distant
planets struggled for freedom beneath the tyranny of the dark empire.
members of the alliance and servants of the empire clung to an ancient
religion, each seeking to utilize the mystic power of the force. battles
raged and heroes were carved from the ravages of war!
and now, across infinite space and time, the very essence of this struggle
has been harnessed. the spirits of creatures from that distant galaxy have
been preserved in tiny jeweled GIGA pods. these pods contain the life
force of pets and friends from the STAR WARS universe. enjoy their
companionship and may the force be with you!

THE GAME SCREEN
the game screen is YODA's "home." you will see YODA move around
the screen and go about his daily routine, busying himself with the
responsibilities of a JEDI MASTER.
press the LEFT/RIGHT keys to select the different ICONS around
the outside of the screen. these icons represent all of the different activities
that allow you to interact with YODA.
HOW TO PLAY
as a JEDI apprentice, it is your job to keep yoda happy and healthy.
at various times, YODA will require a certain kind of attention from
you. if he is in need, he will make noise and the ALERT icon
light up.
as part of your training, you've got to figure out what YODA needs!
if he is hungry, give him food. if his hut is dirty, clean it for him. there
are many different ways for you to interact with YODA. the trick is
to figure out what he needs from you! use the LEFT/RIGHT keys to
move to the activity you want, and press ENTER. here are the activities:
FOOD
when you select this activity, you will be given
a choice of foods to prepare for YODA. use
the LEFT or RIGHT key to select either healthy
food or snacks. YODA needs soup to stay
healthy and food sticks to stay happy.
you can see how hungry YODA is by checking
its HUNGER
a 100 means YODA has a full tummy-- and a
is famished! if YODA has a
a 0 may refuse to do anything else until you feed it!
YODA refuse to eat HEALTHY FOOD when hunger index = 100, and
refuse to do anything when hunger index 20.
SLEEP
select this icon to turn out the light when YODA
wants to sleep. YODA likes to take naps during
the day. if you turn out the light for him, he
will happily go to sleep. at night, YODA will
be very tired, and just fall asleep right on the
floor. if you want YODA to have good dreams,
turn out the light at night, too.
sometimes it's hard to tell when YODA needs to sleep. if you have tried
feeding and cleaning-- and YODA still seems upset, maybe it's time for
a little nap.
TRAIN
to have YODA train you in the ways of the force, choose this activity.
to become a JEDI KNIGHT you must learn to CONTROL, SENSE,
and ALTER your environment with the force. YODA has created three
activities to help you learn. each activity is done five times.
1. CONTROL
in the CONTROL activity, YODA will flash
symbols randomly on the screen, then suddenly
stop and beep. you must press the ENTER button
as quickly as possible when he beeps. the sooner
you press the ENTER button, the more impressed
YODA will be. but be careful, if you press before
he signals, he will be very unhappy with your
impatience!
2. SENSE
in the SENSE activity, the screen is divided down
the middle. on the left side is a symbol, the right
side has a symbol that YODA has hidden from
you. you must use the LEFT/RIGHT buttons
to scroll through the three different symbols on
on the SCORE screen
0 means YODA
100 it may refuse to eat. and if it has
