Playing The Game

When the menu page appears, select one or two players. A pointer will indicate the current option; move the pointer by pressing SPACE, then press ENTER to confirm your choice. Then select your desired method of control.

Now you are asked to type in your horse's name.

Finally, you are offered 'Easy' or 'Hard' game options. The easy game will generously allow you to come second without losing a credit - well, for a while at least! In the 'Hard' game, you must win each race or it's thank you and goodnight. The 'Hard' game also calls for pin-point accuracy on your part, as the opposition is very good.

By rolling the ball into one of the holes in your table, your horse will advance accordingly. Only certain holes will allow your horse to jump fences.
