Before Starting The Game
When using the Virtual Boy system, several adjustments must be mode before
starting the game. For your health and safety, be certain to perform these
adjustments. If you wear glosses or contact lenses, be sure to wear them while
using the Virtual Boy.
Insert the Game Pak into the Virtual Boy, then turn the power switch located on
the front of the controller to the ON position. When the screen pictured to the
upper right appears, continue with the PD and FOCUS adjustments.
Press START to display the IPD and FOCUS adjustment screen. Both adjustments
are mode using this screen.
When the batteries begin to get low, the indicator appears on the screen.

IPD Adjustment
This adjustment sets Virtual Boy to the distance between your eyes (the Inter
Pupil Distance).
While looking at the adjustment screen, turn the PD dial located on top of the
Virtual Boy until you can see a mark in all four corners of the screen, as
shown in the following illustration:
[Screenshot]
The best adjustment may allow you to see only three marks or four slightly
blurred marks. When you have completed the PD adjustment proceed with the
FOCUS adjustment.
Page 04
Focus Adjustment
This adjustment makes sure that you see the game image in the Virtual Boy
display clearly.
Move the FOCUS slider to the CENTER POSITION as marked on the housing. For
most people, the center position should give the clearest image. If the image
is still fuzzy, then adjust the FOCUS slider right or left until the image is
sharp and clear.
During Game Play
While playing the game, press SELECT to view the IPD and Focus Adjustment
screen. After making any necessary adjustments to the PD and Focus, press
SELECT to return to the same.
Note:
If you are playing a two player game, make these adjustments between each
frame as you switch to the next player.
Page 05
Automatic Pause Function
Each Virtual Boy Game Pak contains an automatic pause function that will cause
the game to pause after about 20 minutes of game play. When the game pauses
take a break and give your eyes some rest. To resume game play, press START.
After completing the PD and FOCUS adjustments press START and the screen
pictured to the upper right will appear. The automatic pause is preset to the
ON position. Nintendo recommends that you ALWAYS set the automatic pause to ON.
To override the setting, use Left or Right on the L + Control Pad, then press
START to begin the game.
After playing "Nester's Funky Bowling" for approximately 15 minutes, the game
will present you with the Game Auto Pause Screen. At this point, please take a
break and give your eyes same rest. After your rest is completed, press START
to resume the game.

sister, Hester, treat you to a fantastic game of knock-the-pins-down. This 3D

expressions. Are you up to a challenge?

Nester and Hester
Nester is a conceited video game player and a notorious smart aleck. Years ago,
he finagled his way to comic stardom in the pages of Nintendo Power magazine.
After a glorious run of forty-something issues, Nester called it quits. He
wanted to prove that he wasn't just another comic hero.
He spent a couple of years as a struggling actor before coming back to his
bread and butter, VIDEO GAMES.
You thought Nester was bad? You should get a load of his over-confident twin
sister, Hester. A whopping three minutes older than Nester, Hester is quite
sure that she is superior to her little brother in every way.
Deep down Hester has always believed that she could have been a bigger star
than Nester. Well, she finally has a chance to prove herself. Will you help
Hester, or will you help Nester?
