The Geko 301 offers fi ve 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 fi elds being roughly 20 yards
by 30 yards and large fi elds being 60 yards by 90 yards (about the size of an American
football fi eld).
The diffi culty 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 diffi culty levels increase.
