WARNING: TRANSPORTING GAMES. This game contains glass and fragile  
electronic devices. Use appropriate care when transporting this game. Avoid rough  
handling when moving the cabinet. Don’t move this game with the power on.  
WARNING: DISCONNECT POWER. Always turn the power OFF and unplug the game  
before attempting service or adjustments. Installing or repairing PC boards with power  
ON can damage components and void the warranty. Be sure that you securely install  
ground wires.  
WARNING: GROUND GAMES. Avoid electrical shocks! Don’t plug in a game until  
you have inspected and properly grounded it. Only plug this game into a grounded,  
three-wire outlet. Don’t use a “cheater” plug, or cut off the ground pin on the line cord.  
WARNING: HAZARD TO EPILEPTICS. A small portion of the population has a  
condition which may cause epileptic seizures or momentary loss of consciousness  
when viewing certain kinds of flashing lights or patterns that are present in our daily  
environment. These persons may experience seizures while watching some kinds of  
television pictures or playing certain video games. People who have not had seizures  
may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition.  
If you or anyone in your family has experienced symptoms linked to an epileptic  
condition (e.g., seizures or loss of awareness), consult your physician before using  
video games.  
We recommend that parents observe their children while they play video games. If you  
or your child experience the following symptoms: dizziness, altered vision, eye or  
muscle twitching, involuntary movements, loss of awareness, disorientation, or  
convulsions, discontinue use immediately and consult your physician.  
WARNING: AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCKS. This video game system does not utilize  
an isolation transformer. Internal, cabinet AC isn’t isolated from the external, AC line.

WARNING: HANDLE FLUORESCENT TUBE AND CRT WITH CARE. If you drop a  
fluorescent tube or CRT and it breaks, it will implode! Shattered glass can fly eight feet  
or more from the implosion.  
CAUTION: CHECK POWER SELECTOR, LAMP. Set the 110/220VAC selector on the  
power supply for the correct line voltage. Check the selector setting before switching  
on the game. Verify that the fluorescent lamp assembly is correct for the local line  
voltage.  
CAUTION: USE PROPER FUSE. Avoid electrical shock! Replacement fuses must be  
of the same type as those they replace. Fuse voltage and current ratings must match  
ratings on the original fuse.  
CAUTION: ATTACH CONNECTORS PROPERLY. Be sure that printed circuit board  
(PCB) connectors mate properly. If connectors don’t slip on easily, don’t force them. A  
reversed connector may damage your game and void the warranty. Connector keys  
only allow a connector to fit one set of pins on a board.  
CAUTION: TAKE CARE WHEN SHIPPING HARD DISKS. The hard disk drive must  
be packed in an anti-static bag. When shipping the drive for repair or replacement,  
pack it in an approved container (P/N 08-8068). Never stack or drop hard disk drives.

GAME OPERATION  
STARTING UP  
Whenever you turn on the machine or restore power, the system executes boot ROM code. The boot  
ROM contains self-diagnostic tests that automatically verify and report the condition of the disk drive and  
other hardware. The screen is blank during these tests. If the hardware fails a test, the system displays  
an error message. The message appears for 30 seconds or until someone presses a button.  
•
•
If nobody presses a button, the system quickly completes tests, and then loads game software.  
To skip boot ROM tests and activate the Menu System, press and hold the TEST MODE button.  
You’ll find this button behind the coin door.  
Having passed power-up tests, the system enters Attract Mode. Attract Mode consists of typical game  
scenes and sounds, alternating with high scores. Attract Mode continues until game play commences.  
Players insert currency or tokens to start the game. Pressing a START determines which player receives  
the credit. The game computer asks whether players want to play NBA Showtime or NFL Blitz 2000 Gold  
Edition. Players request one or the other via player panel controls. Then players select a team. The game  
computer associates one team with the Player-1 and Player-2 joysticks. The Player-3 and Player-4  
joysticks assume control of the opposing team. Play begins after a countdown period. Play progresses  
like a real-life football or basketball game. At Game Over Mode, players may choose to begin again. If  
players choose not to continue, then the system returns to Attract Mode.

In Diagnostic Mode, the Power-On Self-Test (POST) activates. This routine runs automatically. It can  
detect faults that cause game or Menu System malfunctions. POST usually takes less than a minute. The  
test doesn’t display anything. Instead, the system boot loader indicates the software revision number and  
serial numbers. The system boot loader also displays a sound-loading message and other useful  
information.  
At the end of POST, the system displays the Control Functions Menu.  
CONTROL FUNCTIONS MENU  
The Control Functions Menu is purely informational. It appears for five seconds. Then the Menu System  
automatically displays the Dual Game Adjustment Menu.  
The Control Functions Menu introduces the menu navigation controls. The key point is that you can use  
either player or diagnostic controls to navigate menus. Diagnostic control switches are particularly helpful  
when you must troubleshoot player switches. This manual discusses the controls in more detail in this  
chapter’s Main Menu section. Also see the page on the menu that interests you.

Color Bars fills the screen with colored stripes. Use the color bars to help you to check or adjust monitor  
brightness and contrast. The color bars also expose defects in horizontal linearity. Each color bar consists  
of 32 intensity levels. On a properly adjusted monitor, the top 31 of these levels are visible. Each bar  
should appear sharp, clear and distinct from bars on either side. Incorrect adjustment can cause missing  
detail at the top or bottom of a bar. Bent bars indicate horizontal linearity flaws, such as pie crust,  
pincushion or barrel distortion. (Correct color bar colors, left to right: Red, Green, Blue, Black, White,  
Cyan, Yellow, Violet.) Set controls as follows: 1. Adjust BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST to minimum. 2.  
Turn up BRIGHTNESS until the pixels in the black stripe begin to glow (turn dark gray). 3. Bring up the  
CONTRAST control until you can see 31 bars.  
Crosshatch Patterns fill the screen with a grid and a series of dots. Crosshatch Patterns help you to  
check or adjust several monitor parameters: These include convergence, linearity, active viewing area  
and dynamic focus. The grid and the dots should be all white in color, with no fringes or parallel images.  
The lines should be straight and the dots round. For more detail on these adjustments, consult service  
literature from the monitor manufacturer.  
Color Screen tests fill the screen with 100% of the chosen color at normal intensity. The Color Screen  
tests help you to check or adjust monitor intensity, black level, blanking and color purity. Each screen  
should be absolutely uniform from top to bottom and side to side. No retrace lines or noise should be  
visible. Color Screens may not hold their uniformity if the monitor degaussing circuit is defective.  
White, Gray and Black Screens fill the screen with black, gray or white at various intensities. These  
monochrome screens help you to check or adjust monitor convergence, purity, contrast and intensity.  
These screens also simplify black level and color gun control settings. The screens should be uniform  
with no color tints or distortion. No retrace lines or noise should be visible.  
If tests indicate a need for adjustment, use controls on the Monitor Remote Adjustment Board.

Channel and Tone Tests. The channel subtests employ voice announcements to verify speaker  
locations. Use the 100 Hz tone to check the speakers’ bass response. Small speakers with weak  
magnets or poor baffles may cause poor bass response.  
Play Tune repeats a series of game sounds. Use PLAY TUNE to check speaker operation and fidelity. If  
your game has stereo speakers, run PLAY TUNE and test speaker phasing. Muddy, weak or distorted  
sound during this test may indicate crossed wires or out-of-phase speaker connections. Missing sounds  
may indicate audio cabling errors.  
NOTICE: Check the volume setting before testing. To test the speakers thoroughly,  
increase the volume level. Before returning to Game-Over Mode, reset the volume  
level to its original setting.

BASIC CUSTOM PRICING. Custom pricing creates an imaginary currency exchange. In this currency  
exchange, the coins of the realm are “units.” Think of units as a type of cyber-currency, useful only within  
the game software. By inserting coins, you purchase units.  
Since units are only negotiable within game software, the system stores your units for you. When the  
system receives enough units, it buys a game for you. The price of a game is one “credit.” You can think  
of credits as a second form of cyber-currency.  
Even though you’ve now bought one game, you may not be able to begin playing. In many pricing  
schemes, you must buy two or more credits to begin play. The idea here is something like a minimum  
order of goods at a store. That is, the operator can “shrink-wrap” two or more games in a package. You  
can’t play unless you buy the entire package.  
1 / 25¢ COIN; 1 CREDIT TO START  
•
. In a simple, quarter pricing scheme, the player inserts one coin to buy  
one unit. The system exchanges that unit for one credit. If CREDITS TO START contains the value one,  
then play commences. A dollar bill buys four units.

Again, assuming quarter slots, here’s one way to implement 75¢  
pricing… In this scheme, each coin that the player inserts buys one unit. The system exchanges three  
units for one credit. CREDITS TO START contains the value two. To play, the player must pay for two  
credits. In this scheme, a dollar buys four units.

. Now let’s consider a more unusual pricing scheme. Here, the player  
can buy two units with one coin. The system exchanges each of these units for one credit. Notice that  
CREDITS TO START contains the value six. To play, the player must insert two more coins to pay for six  
credits. Also notice that if the player pays with a bill, the system throws in an extra unit.

Loud games attract more player interest than games with low-level sound. The Attract Mode sound level  
is lower than the game play sound level.  
You can turn Attract Mode sound on or off without changing the game volume level (see Adjustments).  
NOTICE: These adjustments affect the volume of tests as well as of game play. If you  
set volume levels to minimum (zero), the speakers are silent during audio tests. We  
recommend setting volume levels to a moderately high value whenever you perform  
sound tests. After you complete tests, you may return sound levels to previous  
settings.

MENU SYSTEM  
WHAT IS THE MENU SYSTEM?  
The game’s Menu System is a series of auditing, game adjustment and diagnostic screens. You can  
easily access and apply these screens to optimize game performance. For instance…  
•
•
Use game audits screens to assess game performance.  
Use adjustment screens to help you to customize game performance. For instance, you can restore  
factory default game settings. You can also calibrate player controls for accuracy.  
Use diagnostic screens to verify proper equipment operation.  
•
ACTIVATING THE MENU SYSTEM  
Open the coin door. Find the TEST MODE switch inside. Press TEST MODE to invoke the Menu System.  
The game system responds by exiting Game Mode and entering Diagnostic Mode.  
AUTOMATIC TESTS  
In Diagnostic Mode, the Power-On Self-Test (POST) activates. This routine runs automatically. It can  
detect faults that cause game or Menu System malfunctions. POST usually takes less than a minute. The  
test doesn’t display anything. Instead, the system boot loader indicates the software revision number and  
serial numbers. The system boot loader also displays a sound-loading message and other useful  
information.  
At the end of POST, the system displays the Control Functions Menu.  
CONTROL FUNCTIONS  
The Control Functions Menu is purely informational. It appears for five seconds. Then the Menu System  
automatically displays the Dual Game Adjustment Menu.  
The Control Functions Menu introduces the menu navigation controls. The key point is that you can use  
either player or diagnostic controls to navigate menus. Diagnostic control switches are particularly helpful  
when you must troubleshoot player switches. This manual discusses the controls in more detail in this  
chapter’s Main Menu section. Also see the page on the menu that interests you.

Color Bars fills the screen with colored stripes. Use the color bars to help you to check or adjust monitor  
brightness and contrast. The color bars also expose defects in horizontal linearity. Each color bar consists  
of 32 intensity levels. On a properly adjusted monitor, the top 31 of these levels are visible. Each bar  
should appear sharp, clear and distinct from bars on either side. Incorrect adjustment can cause missing  
detail at the top or bottom of a bar. Bent bars indicate horizontal linearity flaws, such as pie crust,  
pincushion or barrel distortion. (Correct color bar colors, left to right: Red, Green, Blue, Black, White,  
Cyan, Yellow, Violet.) Set controls as follows: 1. Adjust BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST to minimum. 2.  
Turn up BRIGHTNESS until the pixels in the black stripe begin to glow (turn dark gray). 3. Bring up the  
CONTRAST control until you can see 31 bars.  
Crosshatch Patterns fill the screen with a grid and a series of dots. Crosshatch Patterns help you to  
check or adjust several monitor parameters: These include convergence, linearity, active viewing area  
and dynamic focus. The grid and the dots should be all white in color, with no fringes or parallel images.  
The lines should be straight and the dots round. For more detail on these adjustments, consult service  
literature from the monitor manufacturer.  
Color Screen tests fill the screen with 100% of the chosen color at normal intensity. The Color Screen  
tests help you to check or adjust monitor intensity, black level, blanking and color purity. Each screen  
should be absolutely uniform from top to bottom and side to side. No retrace lines or noise should be  
visible. Color Screens may not hold their uniformity if the monitor degaussing circuit is defective.  
White, Gray and Black Screens fill the screen with black, gray or white at various intensities. These  
monochrome screens help you to check or adjust monitor convergence, purity, contrast and intensity.  
These screens also simplify black level and color gun control settings. The screens should be uniform  
with no color tints or distortion. No retrace lines or noise should be visible.  
If tests indicate a need for adjustment, use controls on the Monitor Remote Adjustment Board.

BASIC CUSTOM PRICING. Custom pricing creates an imaginary currency exchange. In this currency  
exchange, the coins of the realm are “units.” Think of units as a type of cyber-currency, useful only within  
the game software. By inserting coins, you purchase units.  
Since units are only negotiable within game software, the system stores your units for you. When the  
system receives enough units, it buys a game for you. The price of a game is one “credit.” You can think  
of credits as a second form of cyber-currency.  
Even though you’ve now bought one game, you may not be able to begin playing. In many pricing  
schemes, you must buy two or more credits to begin play. The idea here is something like a minimum  
order of goods at a store. That is, the operator can “shrink-wrap” two or more games in a package. You  
can’t play unless you buy the entire package.  
•1 / 25¢ COIN; 1 CREDIT TO START. In a simple, quarter pricing scheme, the player inserts one coin to buy  
one unit. The system exchanges that unit for one credit. If CREDITS TO START contains the value one,  
then play commences. A dollar bill buys four units.

•1 / 3 X 25¢; 2 CREDITS TO START. Again, assuming quarter slots, here’s one way to implement 75¢  
pricing… In this scheme, each coin that the player inserts buys one unit. The system exchanges three  
units for one credit. CREDITS TO START contains the value two. To play, the player must pay for two  
credits. In this scheme, a dollar buys four units.

•2 / 1 COIN; 6 CREDITS TO START. Now let’s consider a more unusual pricing scheme. Here, the player  
can buy two units with one coin. The system exchanges each of these units for one credit. Notice that  
CREDITS TO START contains the value six. To play, the player must insert two more coins to pay for six  
credits. Also notice that if the player pays with a bill, the system throws in an extra unit.

4. If power supply is good: Check monitor  
horizontal output transistor and related circuitry.  
WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE. VGM monitors generate and store potentially lethal high  
voltages. Avoid touching any part of the monitor until power has been off for some  
time. A picture tube can maintain a hazardous charge for up to several days. Only  
qualified technicians should service monitors. Turn off the power, unplug the VGM and  
discharge the CRT before attempting service. Even properly discharged tubes can  
revert to a highly charged state, without reapplication of power.  
WARNING: In normal operation, the monitor doesn’t require isolation from AC line  
voltage. During bench servicing, you may need to operate the monitor outside the  
cabinet. If you do, isolate the monitor from line voltage with an isolation transformer.  
CAUTION: Don’t operate the monitor without the Remote Adjustment Board.
