Our story begins...

in the 1930s, a period regarded by many as the
Golden Age of Animation. Many studios in
Hollywood were pumping out reels and reels of
new cartoons. During this time, one of the more
eccentric and gifted animators at Warner Bros,
created the Warner brothers and the Warner
sister—specifically, Yakko, Wakko and Dot.

From the beginning, however, these three were
labeled too wacky, too wild, and just too zany to be
let loose on an unsuspecting public. Their comical
genius was too far ahead of the times. Behind top-
secret closed-door meetings, the studio executives,
vice presidents, managers, managing vice presidents,
chief executive vice directors of managing, and
some people who were really important, decided to
lock them up immediately in the Warner Bros.
Water Tower.

They remained imprisoned in that water tower for
over 60 years, when they escaped! The Warner
brothers and their sister immediately began to
amuse themselves by wreaking havoc upon film
stages all across the studio lot. It remains their
favorite pastime.

Just the other day...

actually it was the day before yesterday, but that’s
not important...the writers at Warner Bros,
completed a script that could win a prestigious
award. The script disappeared! It seems that Pinky
and The Brain snatched the script to sell it and use
the money it would bring to take over the world.
But Pinky, carrying the script in an absent-minded
daze, dropped scenes from the script at various
sound stages all over the studio lot! The Warner
Bros.’ CEO has asked the Warner siblings to find
and deliver the completed script to him pronto,
hoping it would keep them out of any really
serious trouble...a typical management decision.

Playing the Game

' There are three players — Yakko, Wakko and
Dot. Your goal is to operate each player to clear the
game.

• The game ends when all three players are
captured by Ralph the security guard or when they
are done in by traps.

• When players are caught by Ralph, you can try
to rescue them from the Water Tower during the
Warner Bros. Studio screen.

• You can get special power-ups when the slot
machine rolls.

• You can complete the game without finding
every scene from the script, but you should try to
find the entire script to get the best ending!

• You can play again from the beginning of a level
by selecting CONTINUE when the game ends.
(note: You do not have any CONTINUES when
the game starts. You must win them on the slot
machine or collect 100 coins.

- When you clear a stage or the game ends, make a
note of the password displayed on screen. Input this
password to continue your game.
