CARD SHARKS
INTRODUCTION
Playing cards is perhaps one of the oldest forms of entertain
ment. There are games for one (perhaps hundreds of forms of
solitaire) and games for many (from two players to almost an
unlimited number . . . just add more decks). There are games of
pure luck (such as the children's game called War) and games
that require great skill and concentration to play well (Bridge, for
example). Some card games are played simply for the entertain
ment value, while others include the chance of winning and the
risk of losing very high stakes.
But they all have at least one thing in common ... the endless
variations and combinations that occur through the deal of the
cards. In Poker, for example, there are 2,598,960 possible hands
in a deck of 52 cards. It is this almost infinite variety that has
made playing cards one of the most universal and popular
pastimes the world over.
Accolade has packaged three of the most popular forms of the
game in CARD SHARKS: Poker, Hearts and Blackjack. And in
addition, there are a variety of characters against whom you may
play any of these card games. So, sit back and prepare yourself
for some of the most entertaining times you'll have playing cards,
CAUTION: READ BEFORE STARTING TO PLAY!
Before you sit down to play CARD SHARKS you should know
that you're going to be here for some time. Therefore, make sure
there are plenty of snacks within easy reach before you plug
your joystick into Port 2 and insert your disk in the disk drive and
type that most important phrase:
LOAD"*", 8,1
. . . and let the games begin.
SELECTING THE GAME
When the title screen appears, use the joystick to highlight the
card game you would like to play and then press the fire button.
SELECTING YOUR OPPONENTS
After choosing which card game you would like to play, you
must then select your opponents) from the six players that are
available. To do so, move the joystick to highlight your playing
partner(s), then press the fire button. When the border turns red,
that opponent is selected. The position where the opponent will
be seated in relation to you appears above their photograph. If
you change your mind and want to delete an opponent you have
chosen, move the joystick until the border is highlighted, then
press the fire button.
Depending on which card game you choose to play, the number
of opponents can vary. On the top of the "opponent selection
screen" you will be prompted with one of the following:
• "Select 1 to 3 opponents for Poker"
• "Select 3 opponents for Hearts"
• "Select 0 to 2 opponents for Blackjack"
When all opponents have been selected, highlight "Play game"
at the bottom of the screen and press the fire button.

THE GAME - POKER
Poker has been around for hundreds of years. Its robots come from
ancient games known in Europe and the Orient. But today, it is a
distinctly American pastime. It's the game that every cowboy, both
real and in the movies, has played. It is a game of pure skill, like
Backgammon or Chess. Played well, it is neither easy nor simple,
despite the fact that the basic rules are uncomplicated.
There are virtually hundreds of variations with names that excite the
imagination: "Down the River", "Blind and Straddle", "Spit in the
Ocean", "Lamebrain Pete"-and "Hurricane" just to mention a few.
Recognizing that it would be impossible to offer all of them in
CARD SHARKS, we have chosen three of the most popular and
standard variations: Five Card Draw, Seven Card Stud and Texas
Hold 'Em.
THE PLAY - POKER
1. Once poker has been selected, you must choose which
variation you would like to play. By moving the joystick,
highlight either "5 draw", "7 stud" or "Hold 'Em" and
press the fire button to continue.
Each variation of poker plays at a slow enough pace for
even beginners to become familiar with the rules. This
slower speed is noted by an "s" in the lower right portion of
the gaming table. If you wish to play at a faster pace, press
the run/stop key.
3. To speed up the deal, press the fire button at the beginning
of the deal.
2.
4. Should you choose to stop playing poker, simply highlight
"quit" and press the fire button during the game where you
would normally "ante". If you are in fast game mode,
however, you must first switch to the slower mode to "quit"
since in the fast mode the "ante" is automatically done by
the computer. You must then highlight either "again" to
play the same opponents or "select" to choose a new
game or new opponent(s). After making your selection,
press the fire button.
