Object
The object of the game was to guide a small animal, the head of which resembled a rabbit with the horn of a unicorn, around a playing field gathering colored balls. The player had a set amount of time to clear the board without running into itself or a wall, or letting itself grow too long. If a player did any of these, or ran out of time, he lost a life (referred to as a "fail" in the game) and had to restart the level from the beginning. Failing four times ended the game; no extra lives were offered at any point in the game.

Famous quotes containing the word object:
“When I am finishing a picture I hold some God-made object up to ita rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my handas a kind of final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If theres a clash between the two, it is bad art.”
—Marc Chagall (18891985)
“I am using it [the word perceive] here in such a way that to say of an object that it is perceived does not entail saying that it exists in any sense at all. And this is a perfectly correct and familiar usage of the word.”
—A.J. (Alfred Jules)
“An object among dreams, you sit here with your shoes off
And curl your legs up under you;”
—Randall Jarrell (19141965)
