RATTLER
=======

'Rattler' needs to feed, but without your guidance he'll slither to a halt. Help him eat 
all the eggs but avoid the balls, and make sure he doesn't tie himself in knots or touch 
the walls. 15 screens, 9 speed levels and 5 ball options combine to give 675 different 
levels of play.


LOADING

To load, press LOAD"". Press PLAY on your cassette recorder. The programme will now load 
automatically. (The programme is recorded on both sides of the tape. In case of loading 
difficulty, turn the tape over, rewind to the beginning and load again.)


CONTROLS

M moves 'Rattler' clockwise.
N moves 'Rattler' anti-clockwise.

Or use Kempston Joystick.


PLAY

Select any one of 9 speed levels and decide how many (if any) balls you want to negotiate. 
Using the keyboard or joystick, the object is to guide 'Rattler' around the screen eating 
the eggs as they appear, but without touching the walls, getting hit on the head by a ball 
or tying 'Rattler' in a knot. The more eggs 'Rattler' eats, the longer he gets and the 
more difficult to control. If you can eat all the eggs a door will appear in the bottom 
of the screen. There are 15 screens in 'Rattler', each more difficult to negotiate. With 
9 speed levels (1-9) and 5 ball options (0-4) this gives a total of 675 levels of play. 
You start the game with 3 'Rattlers' and gain an extra one after completing each screen. 
Good luck, you will need it!
