Playing the game
There are four types of questions, each type represented by a symbol on the 
screen:

Red      Science Questions
Blue     Sport Questions
[Green]  History and Geography Questions
[Yellow] Art and Entertainment Questions.

Each player has a marker with the player number on it.  The marker "blinks" at 
each player's turn.

The die at the top of the screen will spin and may be stopped by pressing SPACE 
or FIRE.  The marker may then be moved a corresponding number of spaces along 
the board in any direction using the JOYSTICK or KEYBOARD as above.  A question 
of the category occupying the final position of the marker will be displayed.  
The player must answer the question out loud to the other players, then press 
SPACE or FIRE to display the correct answer.  The computer will then ask if the 
player was correct or not.  Use the JOYSTICK or KEYBOARD as above to select the 
response and then press SPACE or FIRE to confirm.

If the Timer option was set, then a bar of decreasing length is displayed to 
indicate the time remaining.  If time runs out then the question is deemed to 
have been answered wrongly and play passes to the next player.

To Win a player must correctly answer the required number of questions for each 
category and then must land back on the centre position in order to answer a 
final, random question.  If the question is wrongly answered then the player's 
marker is put back onto the board and he must try again.

NOTES
No marker may jump over or finish a move on the same position as another 
marker.  If this is attempted then the rest of the available moves are forfeit.

Once movement has begun the direction of movement cannot be changed for that 
turn.

The [Purple] symbol on the board is a re-throw square which may only be used 
once in any turn.
