the first player's score display showing a flashing zero, indicating
a new game only for the first player.

score higher than this is achieved, an award (dependent on

IV. GAME PLAY AND SCORING
BALL-CAPTURE
* Completing the yellow spot target sequence enables the upper

will flash until a ball is captured.

the upper playfield, they will both be lost, and 1-ball play will resume.
