Hopper can be played by one or two players. Movement of Chadly may be controlled by pressing the arrow keys on either side of the computer keyboard or by the Wired Remote Controllers joysticks).
===Getting Started===
Once you have selected Hopper, the Hopper title screen appears. Press any key to begin, or wait a moment for a demonstration game to appear.
The demonstration game gives you an opportunity to preview the action before an actual game begins. Pressing any key takes you to the one- or two-player game option. Press the appropriate number key to choose the number of players, and the game screen appears.
===One-Player Option===
When you choose a one-player game, the game screen appears and the action begins. A game begins with five kangaroos-one on your game screen and four to the right of the playing area. When a trainer captures your kangaroo, a reserve kangaroo from the right of the playing area replaces it, crates return to the screen, and action resumes. The trainers must catch all five kangaroos in order to complete a game.
Two-Player Option
When you select a two-player game, the
game screen appears and the action
begins immediately with Player 1. Each
player receives five kangaroos. A
player's turn is over when a trainer
captures the kangaroo. The number of
kangaroos to the right of the playing
area indicates the number of turns
remaining for the current player.
When a trainer captures Chadly, the
screen displays the message: PLAYER 2
GET READY. PRESS A KEY TO BEGIN.
4
The action begins when Player 2 presses
any key or the joystick FIRE button.
The screen instructs the players to get
ready for game play before each
subsequent turn.
Maneuvering Chadly
You maneuver Chadly by pressing keys
on the computer keyboard. Two groups
of keys on either side of the keyboard
manipulate Chadly. On the left side of
the keyboard, press the t (E) and+ (X)
keys to move Chadly up and down on
the screen and the -(S) and -(D) keys
to move Chadly to the left and right.
The Q and V keys execute a kick from
Chadly.
On the right side of the keyboard, press
the t (I) and + (M) keys to move Chadly
up and down on the screen, and the -(J)
and -(K) keys to move Chadly to the
left and right. Keys Y and(.) execute a
kick.
If you are using Wired Remote
Controllers Qoysticks), move the lever
left or right to move Chadly
horizontally. Moving the lever forward
or backward moves Chadly vertically.
To make Chadly kick a crate, press the
FIRE button.
Note: Pushing the FIRE button when
your opponent is playing with the other
joystick causes the kangaroo to travel
rapidly across the playing area.
