INTRODUCTION

a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. the inhabitants of distant 

planets struggled for freedom beneath the tyranny of the dark empire. 

members of the alliance and servants of the empire clung to an ancient 

religion, each seeking to utilize the mystic power of the force. battles 

raged and heroes were carved from the ravages of war!

and now, across infinite space and time, the very essence of this struggle 

has been harnessed. the spirits of creatures from that distant galaxy have 

been preserved in tiny jeweled GIGA pods. these pods contain the life 

force of pets and friends from the STAR WARS universe. enjoy their 

companionship and may the force be with you!

THE GAME SCREEN

the game screen is YODA's "home." you will see YODA move around 

the screen and go about his daily routine, busying himself with the 

responsibilities of a JEDI MASTER.

press the LEFT/RIGHT keys to select the different ICONS around 

the outside of the screen. these icons represent all of the different activities 

that allow you to interact with YODA.

HOW TO PLAY

as a JEDI apprentice, it is your job to keep yoda happy and healthy. 

at various times, YODA will require a certain kind of attention from 

you. if he is in need, he will make noise and the ALERT icon     will 

light up.

as part of your training, you've got to figure out what YODA needs! 

if he is hungry, give him food. if his hut is dirty, clean it for him. there 

are many different ways for you to interact with YODA. the trick is 

to figure out what he needs from you! use the LEFT/RIGHT keys to 

move to the activity you want, and press ENTER. here are the activities:

FOOD

when you select this activity, you will be given 

a choice of foods to prepare for YODA. use 

the LEFT or RIGHT key to select either healthy 

food or snacks. YODA needs soup to stay 

healthy and food sticks to stay happy. 

you can see how hungry YODA is by checking 

its HUNGER     on the SCORE screen     . 

a     100 means YODA has a full tummy-- and a     0 means YODA 

is famished! if YODA has a     100 it may refuse to eat. and if it has 

a     0 may refuse to do anything else until you feed it!

YODA refuse to eat HEALTHY FOOD when hunger index = 100, and 

refuse to do anything when hunger index 20.

SLEEP

select this icon to turn out the light when YODA 

wants to sleep. YODA likes to take naps during 

the day. if you turn out the light for him, he 

will happily go to sleep. at night, YODA will 

be very tired, and just fall asleep right on the 

floor. if you want YODA to have good dreams, 

turn out the light at night, too.

sometimes it's hard to tell when YODA needs to sleep. if you have tried 

feeding and cleaning-- and YODA still seems upset, maybe it's time for 

a little nap.

TRAIN

to have YODA train you in the ways of the force, choose this activity. 

to become a JEDI KNIGHT you must learn to CONTROL, SENSE, 

and ALTER your environment with the force. YODA has created three 

activities to help you learn. each activity is done five times.

1. CONTROL

in the CONTROL activity, YODA will flash 

symbols randomly on the screen, then suddenly 

stop and beep. you must press the ENTER button 

as quickly as possible when he beeps. the sooner 

you press the ENTER button, the more impressed 

YODA will be. but be careful, if you press before 

he signals, he will be very unhappy with your 

impatience!

2. SENSE

in the SENSE activity, the screen is divided down 

the middle. on the left side is a symbol, the right 

side has a symbol that YODA has hidden from 

you. you must use the LEFT/RIGHT buttons 

to scroll through the three different symbols on
