Welcome to the exciting and competitive world of SURROUND™. Your basic objective is to surround your opponent, causing him to run out of space in which to move, and at the same time not running into anything yourself. You can set up a blockade, force him into a corner, or wander off by yourself and hope that he runs into something on his own.

Along with the basic SURROUND game, we've added four game features to make things more interesting. Then there's VIDEO GRAFFITI™. It's just for fun without the competitive edge thrown in. VIDEO GRAFFITI actually allows you to draw on the screen.

You score one point when your opponent steers his leader block into another part of his track or your track. In games which do not feature Wraparound, you also score a point when your opponent steers into one of the piayfield boundaries

THE FIRST PLAYER TO SCORE 10 POINTS WINS THE GAME. The leader block of your track is color coordinated with the score at the top of the playfield.

In one-player games, your score is displayed at the upper right corner of the screen. In two-player games, the right player's score is on the right, the left player's score is on the left.

SPEED UP
As the leader block moves on the screen, It will speed up automatically at different intervals. There are five speeds in all, and you have no control over them. They will happen automatically during each turn, so be prepared.

DIAGONAL MOVEMENT
In games with Diagonal Movement, you can move the leader block diagonally on the piayfield (In all other games, you can only move the blocks vertically or horizontally.) Move your Joystick in a diagonal direction to move your leader block in the same diagonal direction on the screen. For example, if the leader block of your track is in the center of the playfield and you want 10 move it diagonally to the upper right corner, move the Joystick to the right and slightly away from you.

ERASE
When you don't want to leave a track, press the red controller button and no blocks will appear on the screen Release the button and a track of blocks will appear as you continue to steer with your Joystick Controller. Use Erase for super strategy moves.

WRAPAROUND
In games featuring Wraparound, when you move your leader block off the playfield it will reappear at the opposite side.

VIDEO GRAFFITI
Games 13 and 14 are appropriately called VIDEO GRAFFITI. You can write a word, draw a picture, or get as abstract as you like. One or two players can use their Joysticks to control the movement and the direction of the track or tracks.

Move your Joystick in any direction to move the track block in the same direction on the screen. VIDEO GRAFFITI uses Diagonal Movement, Erase, and Wraparound.
