Getting Started
Place the Family Dog game pak into the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and turn the machine on. Press the Start button when the title page appears. You'll begin the game in the Binford home. There are many areas accessible to Family Dog that you may not normally see a dog. For instance, bounce high on a couch or chair to land on a picture frame or shelf. Use these areas to avoid enemies and find treats.
Remember, although you may be hounded from time to time by Billy, your reflexes are faster!
Living Room
Family Dog must avoid cats, toys and especially pesty Billy to make it out of the living room. Collect the tennis ball to earn a bonus round after the hallway.
Hallway
Billy is hot on your trail, so you'll have to outwit the little monster.
Living Room (Return)
Look for the bonus round item in this level—a plate. Since the master of the house isn't in the living room, the dog must make it to the kitchen to find protection.
Hallway to Kitchen
Hit the ground running! Billy has a high powered soaker gun aimed at you-know-who!
Kitchen
Bev isn't here, but she did leave a few appliances on... There's also a bonus round boomerang hidden somewhere here.
Hallway to Back Door
Billy wants to clean his dog. Unfortunately, he's decided to use the super-powered vacuum cleaner. Run for it!
Kennel Interior
Duck under enemy dog's barks and try to find help in your escape plan.
Kennel Exterior
Find a safe way to the ground. Look for jutting ledges.
Kennel Grounds
Defeat all German Shepherds and escape by beating the warden at the gate. You'll need to hit the gate box five times with barks or contact to be set free.
Woods and Trees
Keep moving to the right! Bounce on tree limbs and find your way home.
Digging Up Treasures
As you walk through the levels, every now and then Family Dog will sniff out a treat. Press the Down direction on the control pad to examine a floor for a treat.
The treats are as follows:
•
Bone: Extends the health meter.
•
Cheese Treat: Gives you Super-barks.
•
Peanut: Adds 1,000 points to your total.
Special Note
You can gain extra treats if you sit on a television and press Down. You may even see a wonderful show!
