HOW TO PLAY THE FAT BLOCKER GAME
The Fat Blocker game requires quick thinking and fast
reflexes. In addition to the console buttons, you will
use the four-button game controllers on the handlebar
to play the game. Follow the steps below to play the
Fat Blocker game.
Begin pedaling or press any button on the
console to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a
button, the display will light.
Select the Fat Blocker game.
To select the Fat Blocker game, press the Fitness
Games button repeatedly until the words FAT
BLOCKER appear at the top of the display.
Pedal to start the game.
When you start the Fat Blocker game, a game
arena will appear in the center of the display.
A block composed of four or five black squares
will slowly move downward until it reaches the
bottom of the arena. Another block will then move
downward. There are blocks of eight different
shapes. As each block falls, you can move it to
the left or right using the left and right buttons on
the left controller. In addition, you can rotate the
block counterclockwise or clockwise using the left
and right buttons on the right controller. Once you
have positioned and oriented a block, you can
speed its motion to the bottom of the arena, if
desired, by pressing the down button on either
controller.
Your goal is to
maneuver the
blocks so that they
form a complete
row of black
squares across
the entire arena.
Each time you complete a row of black squares,
the row will disappear, and all blocks above will
move downward one row.
As you play, the blocks will fall faster and faster;
however, your pedaling pace will affect the speed
of the blocks—the faster you pedal, the more
slowly the blocks will fall, giving you extra time to
position and orient the blocks. The game will con-
tinue until any part of a stacked block reaches the
top of the arena.
When the game ends, the display will show your
final score and the level of play that you reached.
The display will then show the four highest scores
recorded since the scores were reset. If desired,
press and hold down the right button on either
controller to reset the scores. Note: If your score
is one of the four highest, the display will prompt
you to enter a name consisting of three letters or
digits. While the line below the first letter is flash-
ing, press the up and down buttons on either con-
troller to select the desired letter or digit. Next,
press the right button on either controller and
select another letter or digit. Repeat this process
to select a third letter or digit. Then, press the
right button on either controller again. The display
will then show the four highest scores recorded
since the scores were reset.
Follow your progress with the display.
While you exercise and play the Fat Blocker
game, the corners of the display will show the
elapsed time, the approximate number of calories
you have burned, and your pedaling pace. In addi-
tion, the display will show your current score and
the game level that you have reached.
To pause the game, press the Display button. To
resume the game, press the Display button
repeatedly until the words FAT BLOCKER appear
at the top of the display, and then begin pedaling.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
