Tiger Electronics Giga Pets 70-107 Instructions

MODEL: 70-107
INTRODUCTION
many years ago in a fantastic kingdom far away, an evil wizard terrorized
the land. the ruler of this kingdom, PRINCE GIGA, was good and kind,
and with the help of the small creatures of the land he banished the terrible
wizard. but the wizard enacted a horrible curse, imprisoning all of the small
creatures in tiny jeweled pods and scattering them across the universe.
now PRINCE GIGA'S kingdom is a sad place. each day the prince wanders
his kingdom, looking for the jeweled pods so that he may care for the tiny
creature trapped inside. only when every GIGA PET everywhere is healthy
and happy can the curse be lifted. can you help?

FEED
when you select this activity, you will be given a
choice of foods for your koala. use the LEFT or
RIGHT key to select either healthy food or treats.
every kind of pet likes different kinds of food. your
koala needs milk to grow, and eucalyptus leaves to
stay happy.

SLEEP
select this icon to turn out the light when your
pet wants to sleep. your pet likes to take naps
during the day. if you turn out the light for it, it
will happily go to sleep. at night, your pet will be
very tired, and just fall asleep right on the floor.
if you want your pet to have good dreams, turn
out the light at night, too.
sometimes it's hard to tell when your koala needs
to sleep. if you try everything else-- feeding, playing,
or cleaning-- and your pet still seems upset, maybe
it's time for a little nap.
PLAY
to keep your KOALA healthy and happy, you should
play with it often. when you select this activity,
your KOALA will play a game with you. here's
how to play the tree climbing game:
your KOALA will have a set time limit to climb a
tree as fast as possible. you must press the LEFT
and RIGHT keys alternating as quickly as possible
to make your KOALA climb. if you miss alternating
the buttons your KOALA will slowly lose his
grip and start to slide down the tree.
DOCTOR
if your pet's health drops, you can always try a
visit to the doctor. but be careful! there's only so
much the doctor can do, and your little bear does
not like to go. we recommend no more than one
trip to the doctor each day.
CLEANING
sometimes your KOALA bear will leave droppings,
and you must clean them up. if there are droppings
on screen, select CLEANING to clear them away.
if there are no droppings on screen, you can select
this activity to give your pet a thorough, all over
cleaning. if you want your bear to stay healthy,
don't leave droppings on the screen, and don't forget
to give your pet a bath at least once a day.
