Menu Page Games Gekoids 32 Setup Choices for Geko Smak Move to the Gekos and press the OK button to "smak" and earn points The Geko 301 offers five games with you, the user, as the key participant. The Games Page shows the listing, which includes: Gekoids, Geko Smak, Memory Race, Nibbons and Virtua Maze. Highlight the appropriate game and then press the OK Button to play. Brief instructions display when you start each game. Gekoids This game is all about blasting gekoids. The catch is you are the ship and you must survive by not getting hit. Before you begin to play, make sure to calibrate the compass. Playing Indoors, your ship's direction is determined by the direction the electronic compass is pointing. Press the OK Button to blast away! Orient Map 'Northwards' rotates your ship in the center of the map. The map is stationary and north is always up. Orient Map 'Ship Up' rotates the virtual world around your ship. Your ship always points up. Geko Smak Geko Smak features you as the triangular-shaped player. In measured rhythm Gekos will appear on the screen. Before the Geko disappears, move toward the Geko and press the OK Button to smack the Geko. If you get the Geko, an '!' displays above the hammer; otherwise just a hammer displays momentarily. Field size choices are small, medium, and large with small fields being roughly 20 yards by 30 yards and large fields being 60 yards by 90 yards (about the size of an American football field). The difficulty levels, Easy, Normal, and Hard, determine how often Gekos appear on the screen. The pace of the game quickens and point values vary as the difficulty levels increase. WARNING: Do not attempt to play these games while driving a motor vehicle or in an area of heavy traffic.
