                             ONE PLAYER GAME

	In the ONE PLAYER GAME the player selects one of 6 categories and then
tries to guess one of the three best clues for each word given on the screen.
There are 7 words in each category to guess best clues for and the player
must select all six categories (one at a time), in order to advance to the
bonus round. For each correct clue entered the player receives a point. To
advance to the $25,000 PYRAMID BONUS ROUND the player must get 30 of the 42
possible clues correct (or 20 in Beginner Mode). In each category screen is a
hidden 7-11 MARKER. If the player gets all 7 correct in the 7-11 category they
receive a special bonus of $1100.

	In the ONE PLAYER BONUS GAME the player is given clues by the Computer
and must guess the Category. Example: category name "Things That Are ___".
The Computer gives the player the clues "Baseball, A Frisbee, A Circle" and
the player must enter "Round" to complete the Category name.

	If the player wins the $25,000 PYRAMID BONUS ROUND they must play
another category round (6 categories, 42 possible points). If they get enough
correct answers (see first paragraph), they then advance to the $100,000
PYRAMID BONUS ROUND (where they must again complete category titles). If the
Player somehow against all odds wins the $100,000 PYRAMID, they win $100,000
and are placed on the CHAMPIONS LIST!!!

	--------------------------------------------------------------
                             TWO PLAYER GAME

	In the TWO PLAYER GAME both players face the screen to select which
category they want to play. The category name and description then appear
along with the MONITOR SCREEN upon which the words will appear. One of the
two players must then sit so they CAN NOT SEE THE SCREEN. The other player
types 'R' when his partner is ready. The first word in the category appears
and the player sitting in front of the computer gives clues to his partner
AS IN THE $100,000 PYRAMID T.V. SHOW. If his partner guesses the word
correctly, the player giving clues types 'Y' and a point is scored and the
next word is displayed. If however the player receiving clues cannot guess
the word and wishes to PASS, his partner types <SPACE> and the current word
is skipped and the next word is displayed. If all 7 words are guessed before
time runs out, the category is complete and play continues with the next
category selection.

	As is the One Player Game, there is a 7-11 MARKER hidden under one
of the categories and the team receives $1100 if they guess correctly all
7 words in that category.

	In the TWO PLAYER $25,000 PYRAMID BONUS GAME as in the regular game
one player must sit so they cannot see the screen. When both players are
ready, the one watching the screen types 'R' and the first category name turns
over. He gives clues to his partner who tries to guess the name of the category
as in the $100,000 PYRAMID T.V. SHOW. If his partner wishes to skip to the
next category, the player at the computer types <SPACE>. If the receiving
player guesses the category name correctly, the player at the computer types
'Y'. If time runs out before all categories have been guessed then the dollar
amounts of the completed categories are added to the teams total winnings.

	If the players complete the $25,000 PYRAMID they must go back and play
another normal round (they may switch places if desired). If they score high
enough they get a chance to play the PYRAMID for $100,000 and a chance to
be listed among the PYRAMID CHAMPIONS!!

	--------------------------------------------------------------
                             FOUR PLAYER GAME

	The FOUR PLAYER $100,000 PYRAMID plays very much like the TWO PLAYER
GAME. Each team picks 3 of the 6 categories. The team that scores the highest
(21 points possible) goes on to try the $25,000 PYRAMID. If there is a tie,
the two teams must play another normal round until one team scores higher.
If the team that tries for the $25,000 PYRAMID wins the $25,000 then they
must play a normal round against a new challenger to gain the chance to play
for $100,000. Note: (If there are only four people playing the new challenger
team may be the same team that lost the first normal round). If the team that
won the $25,000 PYRAMID again beats their opponents they gain the chance to
try for $100,000 and a place on the $100,000 PYRAMID CHAMPIONS LIST!!!
