I. FEATURES OF THIS MACHINE
1 . The game packs in excellent features capturing the hearts of players.
2. The lever control system is simple to handle.
3. At the flick of a dip switch, you can select among extended play, the number of laser guns
and time of appearance of an additional laser gun, etc.
4. High score for the day is always displayed on the screen.
5. Finely designed cabinet and fascinating acoustic effects.

II. HOW TO HANDLE AND MAINTAIN THIS MACHINE
1. Since the UNIVERSAL's COSMIC ALIEN employs a color TV receiving set, be careful
not to shake it during transit and when carrying it about.
2. Install it at a location which is not exposed to direct sunlight. In order to prevent the inside
temJDerature rising, avoid as nnuch as possible a location near a heater, etc.
3. Since the grounding terminal is visible, be sure to connect it to a grounding conductor.
4. Insert the power cord into the outlet and turn on the switch.
5. Even if the solid-state module seems to be out of order, do not check the circuit by means
of a circuit tester, etc., since the internal voltage of the tester, etc. may sometimes break
down the IC.
6. Make sure the machine is well ventilated. If the temperature of the IC and transistor is lower
than 60°C, they function normally and may be considered reliable. If it exceeds 60°C, their
performance cannot be guaranteed.
7. Make sure that the connector, etc. is not disconnected.
8. Whenever connecting the power cord of the solid-state module to, or disconnecting it from,
the outlet, be sure to turn the power off.
9. Although the products of UNIVERSAL are manufactured with the utmost care, they may
develop malfunctions when used for long periods. So, be sure to check this machine daily.

III. HOW TO PLAY
1. Drop in a coin when playing by yourself. Drop in two coins when playing with a friend.
2. When pressing either one- or two-player button after inserting a coin or two, the game starts.
Play it by handling a lever for moving the space ship from side to side a Fl RE button.
3. Aliens floating high in the air suddenly roll, rushing towards the spaceship to assault it.
While warning aliens don't launch missiles, assaulting aliens do when they get near the
spaceship - or they hurtle into it.
4. Each time 2 screens have been cleared (or on the 3rd screen) or when 4 screens cleared (or
on the 5th screen), the aliens' shape changes and, at the same time, the spaceship comes
nearer the aliens by one stage. Your spaceship is then sometimes exposed to the danger of
being crashed into from behind bv aliens which have dived, making the game even more
exciting.
5. The present screen's number is displayed on the bottom right.
6. Aliens are either a chief, guards, commanders or soldiers, and they each have own mode of
assault and points awarded. When an assaulting alien is hit, a double score is awarded com-
pared to when the same alien is hit while warning. Every time the screen is cleared, the
score level rises.
7. The number of points to be awarded when the assualting chief alien is hit, is set
differentially. That is, if you hit him while assaulting alone, you are awarded a higher score
than when you hit him while being escorted by the guards. If you destroy the three guards
and chief alien during one diving attack round, you are awarded the highest score.
8. When only one alien remains on the screen, he changes into an immense alien rushing to
assault the spaceship.
9. From the 7th screen on, the aliens are able to dodge the assaulting missiles of the spaceship
- their assaulting pattern also changes. From the 10th screen on, these changes are even
more accelerated, making screen clearance increasingly difficult.
10, You are given 3 spaceships for one game. If your score exceeds 5,000 points, you are award-
ed a reserve spaceship. (The starting number of spaceships and points over which a reserve
ship is awarded, can be changed by dip switches.)

a) Setting the option (dip switches)
COSMIC ALIEN is designed to have various operations set by the ON-OFF combinations of
the dip switches. When starting a game, choose any desired game option and set the dip
switches accordingly.
1* Setting the required score for an additional spaceship:

A. ADJUSTMENT OF TV PICTURE SCREEN
Since the TV picture screen has been factory-adjusted to optimum conditions at the time of
shipment, it needs no adjustment as a rule. If it should by chance need adjustment, adjust-
ment is possible to some extent by manipulating the knobs which appear in the wiring draw-
ing (22").
