score! Blast the target past your opponent to score points. Play long or 
short games and vary the number of targets. 1 or 2 players.

DOG PATCH (2 players)

Take aim and fire at a can that is tossed into the air. In this down 
home skeet shoot, score points for every can you hit; extra points are 
awarded for knocking it over the head of your opponent.

STARTING THE GAME

Choose Dog Patch by pressing 1 on the keypad or by using remote game 
selection (pull the trigger on hand control #1, turn the knob until 1 
appears on the screen, then pull the trigger again).

PLAYING THE GAME

The hand control functions for Dog Patch are:

Trigger Fires the shot.
Knob Controls the angle of the gun.
Joystick Has no function.

The object of the game is to score the highest number of points by 
targeting and hitting the most cans. With two good marksmen, the can 
will bounce back and forth several times before being shot to the other 
side of the screen.

The cans are automatically tossed into the air by the person shown in the 
lower center of the screen. Player #1 is shown on the left, with player 
#2 on the right. Scores are located directly above the players.

At the bottom of the screen, you will see the number of cans remaining 
to be tossed. The word, BONUS, located at the upper center of the 
screen, refers to the number of hits on each can.

SCORING

Every time a player hits a can, one point is awarded. A can may be hit 
more than once by either or both players and, as a result, each player 
will receive more points.

When a can is hit over the opponent, 12 points are awarded. If it is hit 
twice, 14 points are awarded; if hit three times,

the score increases by 16 points.

Bouncing the can between the shots of both players will give each player 
extra points.

The winner is the player with the highest score when there are no cans 
remaining to be tossed.

PLAYING AGAIN

To play Dog Patch again, press the RESET button (or pull the trigger on 
hand control #1) and follow the instructions for starting the game.
