Hack the game in each arcade cabinet with Wires and Chips to help Gus win. Every level requires rewiring or a Chip hack, no two games played are the same. Even we aren’t quite sure what will happen, but here are some hints: • Rewire the Wires until something good happens • Rewire the Wires until something better happens • Rewire the rewiring if rewiring caused something bad to happen • Remember what terminal you wired to and what it did • Remember what terminal you wired to and what it didn’t do • Once wired and working nicely, play and win the game • Try to score Three Stars for each level – you’ll get the most coins • Get hats, get lots of hats, wear them all at once - Gus loves hats. The more hats you wear at once, the more hat bonus coins you get. Plus, Gus looks absurd with more hats. • Insert Upgrades using chips, these are computer chips. Wire from a terminal to a chip. Chips help Gus do extraordinary things. We are not quite sure what they will do all the time, but Gus should be fine. • If the game or level is too hard, try it with a chip - it will probably help. If it is still too hard, try a different chip. • Even if you win easily, try the game again with a different chip, with more hats on Gus… it’s a new game every time. • You hack it – you play it
