THE GAME SCREEN
the game screen is SALEM'S "home." you will him move around the screen
and go about his daily routine, and get up to all sorts of tricks!
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 SALEM.
HOW TO PLAY
just like a real pet, SALEM needs you in order to grow up happy and healthy.
at various times, he will require a certain kind of attention from you. SALEM
will make noise and the ALERT will light up.
now you've got to figure out what SALEM needs! if SALEM is hungry,
feed him. if SALEM is lonely, play with him. if SALEM is dirty, clean him.
there are many different ways for you to interact with SALEM. the trick
is to figure out what he needs from you! use the LEFT/RIGHT keys to move
to the activity you want, then press ENTER. here are the activities:
FEED [
when you select this activity, you will be given a
choice of foods for SALEM. use the LEFT or RIGHT
key to select either healthy food or treats. every kind
of pet likes different kinds of food. SALEM needs
healthy cat food to grow, and ice cream to stay happy
(even a cat still needs his ice cream fix!)
you can see how hungry SALEM is by checking
his HUNGER
on the SCORE screen .
a
100 means SALEM has a full tummy-- and
a
0 means SALEM is famished! if SALEM has a 100 he may refuse
to eat. if he has a
0 may refuse to do anything else until you feed him!
SALEM will always eat treats, even when he is full! ice cream tastes so
good, it's impossible to say no! but be careful, too many treats will make
SALEM fat. (and no one wants to be a fat cat!)
SLEEP
select this icon to turn out the light when SALEM
wants to sleep. he likes to take naps during the
day. (and who doesn't?) if you turn out the light
for him, he will happily go to sleep. at night, being
a true party animal, SALEM will be very tired,
and just fall asleep right on the floor. if you want
him to have good dreams, turn out the light at
night, too.
sometimes it's hard to tell when SALEM needs to
sleep. if you try everything else-- feeding, playing,
or cleaning-- and SALEM still seems upset, maybe
it's time for a little nap.
PLAY
to keep SALEM healthy and happy, you should play
with him often. when you select this activity, SALEM
will play a game with you. he likes to play with a
ball of yarn. it's an easy game to play. just press
your buttons in the direction of the ball and SALEM
will try to catch the ball of yarn!
DOCTOR]
if SALEM'S health drops, you can always try a
visit to the doctor. but be careful! there's only so
much the doctor can do (especially for a cat who
used to be a warlock), he does not like to go. we
recommend no more than one trip to the doctor
each day.
CLEANING
to keep SALEM clean, you need to brush him.
select CLEANING to brush him with a cool display
of magic powers!
SCORE
choose this icon to check on SALEM'S progress.
use the LEFT/RIGHT keys to display screens
showing SALEM'S AGE and WEIGHT, HEALTH
and HAPPINESS , HUNGER and
DISCIPLINE
, and TOTAL SCORE.
SALEM'S AGE increases by 1 every day. what seems
like a day to you is actually one complete year to
your SALEM GIGA PET! a GIGA PET reaches
adult age at about 5 days, and old age at 14 days.
a GIGA PET more than 14 days old is very old
indeed!
SALEM'S WEIGHT will vary depending on his
age, diet, and exercise. too many treats and too much
INTRODUCTION
"if you think school can be tough, imagine being turned into a cat."
many years ago in a fantastic kingdom far away, an evil wizard terrorized
the land. the ruler of this kingdom, PRINCE GIGA, was good and kind,
and with the help of the small creatures of the land he banished the terrible
wizard. but the wizard enacted a horrible curse, imprisoning all of the small
creatures in tiny jeweled pods and scattering them across the universe.
the witches' council, to whom all witches and warlocks must answer, was
inspired by this curse and put the same curse on one of SABRINA'S uncles
and turned him into a cat! now SALEM the cat, lives in the same house
with SABRINA and SABRINA'S two aunts, the spellman sisters, zelda
and hilda. SABRINA can't understand why if she's a witch, she has to go
to school? try explaining to SALEM why if he's a warlock, he has to be
a tuna-loving, collar-wearing cat!! oh, well, who said life was always fair?
certainly not anyone from the witches' council! only by being healthy and happy
can SALEM have his curse lifted. can you help?
CONGRATULATIONS!
you are the proud new owner of a GIGA PET, the take-it-anywhere interactive
pet! and he's not just any pet, he's SALEM, the pet you share with SABRINA,
the teenage witch. like SABRINA, you can take SALEM with you, whether
it's out for a burger and fries, or just to hang out. SALEM needs lots
of attention to grow up healthy and happy. the healthier and happier he is,
the higher your score will be! these instructions will help you on your way.
