THE STORY OF SHERIFF SAM AND LITTLE CHIEF

Once upon a time in the Old West, there was a young gunslinger named Sam. Sam
lived alone with his father. His father was the Sheriff of Villatown.
Villatown was a very quiet and peaceful town until the arrival of a group of
villains known only as the Scorpions. A rumor was heard that the Scorpions
were going to rob the next incoming train. Sam's father tried to stop them,
but he was never heard of again.

Poor Sam was left all alone in the world. He was sad and mad at the same time,
and he didn't know what to do. It didn't rake Sam too long before he decided
to bring the Scorpions to justice. As he was in search of these villains, he
was attacked by some of the Scorpions. A young Indian Warrior saw Sam, and
saved him from the villains. The Indian warrior was so impressed with Sam's
courage, that he vowed to hear the truth.

The Indian Warrior introduced himself as Little Chief. He wanted to know why
Sam was searching for the Scorpions. Sam told him the while story. To Sam's
surprise, Little Chief volunteered to help Sam bring the ruthless villains to
justice. They realized that the only way to put the Scorpions behind bars was
with the weight of the law. Sam is appointed Sheriff, and with Little Chief
as his deputy, they would do just that.

Here, your part in this story begins.......

HARDWARE PRECAUTIONS / MAINTENANCE

* Do not use any power plug other then the AC adapter provided with your NES.
The AC adapter may become warm during use; this is normal and is no cause
for concern.
* Do not use any RF switch other than the one included with your NES.
* Do not disassemble or try to repair the NES components. Doing so voids your
warranty.
* Always turn the power switch of the Control Deck off before loading or
removing a Game Pak. Insert the Game Pak completely without forcing either
the Game Pak or the Control Deck. Load ONLY NES Game Paks into the NES
Control Deck. To remove a Game Pak, push the eject button and carefully
remove the game. A Game Pak cannot be removed if the power switch is in the
on position.
* After you have finished playing, be sure to remove the Game Pak from the
Control Deck.
* Do not store the Control Deck in a humid place, on the floor or in any
location where it may collect din, dust, lint, etc.
* Do not drop, hit or otherwise abuse the NES components.


PAGE 20
-------

* Do not leave the Control Deck turned on for extended periods when not in use.
* When disconnecting any plugs from the Control Deck first turn the Control
Deck off, then carefully pull by the plug itself rather than by the cord. Do
not step on, sharply pull or bend any wires or cables.
* Do not expose the Control Deck, Game Paks or any other of the NES components
to extreme heat or cold.
* Do not spill liquids on the Control Deck, Game Paks or any other of the NES
components. To clean, use a soft slightly damp cloth. Allow the component
to dry completely before using again. (Use water only.)
* Do not rapidly turn the power switch on and off, as this may cause battery
backed-up Game Paks to lose your stored game information.

GAME PAK PRECAUTIONS / MAINTENANCE

* If you are playing for a long time, take a 10 or 15 minute break every hour.
* The Game Pak is a high precision piece of electronics. Do not store it in
places that are very hot or cold. Do not hit, drop or otherwise abuse it.
Do not take it apart.
* Avoid touching the connectors with your fingers. Do not blow on them or
allow to get wet or dirty. Doing so may damage the Game Pak and/or the
Control Deck.
* Do not clean with benzene, paint thinner, alcohol or any other solvent.
* Always store the Game Pak in its protective cover when not in use.
* Always check the Game Pak edge connector for foreign material before
inserting the Game Pak in the Control Deck. To prevent the edge connectors
from becoming dirty, we recommend that you regularly use the NES Cleaning
Kit only. Cleaning kits are available at all Authorized Nintendo World Class
Service Center locations and at most retailers.
