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
