The Vampire awakens. The Vampire's only desire is to drain the life energy from all of those who are near. One by one, victims are converted into new vampires. If this continues, the vampires could eventually overwhelm the aggregation. But time may be against them. Will the vampires ultimately take over, or will time run out before they succeed?

Vampires is a unique character based solo game in which individual players work against the clock for their own survival. The game commences with one of the players as the "Vampire". The remaining players have a limited number of lives and a limited number of shots with which to defend themselves. If a player's lives are reduced to zero or if a player runs out of shots, the player is "converted" into a vampire. As more and more players succumb, more and more vampires will be in the arena. The game is won when either the vampires overwhelm the players or the game time expires and one or more of the players survives.

This is a character based solo game. One of the players is a "Vampire". The remaining players are the vampire's potential victims.

The first press of the game start button will perform a special "pre-start". In pre-start mode, one of the pack displays will flash and show the character name "Vampire" on the screen. The player that takes this pack will be the Vampire.

When the Vampire and the rest of the players are ready, the game start button is pressed for a second time to actually start the game.

After the game has been started, all of the players (with the exception of the Vampire), must press and hold the black push button on the front of their pack. The button must remain pressed until the computer acknowledges the action by activating the player's pack.

This is a character based solo game. One of the players is a "Vampire". The remaining players are the "Peasants", the vampire's potential victims.

• The game starts with only one vampire.

• The remaining players have a limited number of lives (10) and a limited number of shots (40) with which to defend themselves.

• If a player's lives are reduced to zero or if a player runs out of shots, the player is "converted" into a vampire. Therefore, the players attempt to avoid being tagged.

• As more and more players get tagged and ultimately converted, more and more vampires will be in the arena.

• The game is won when either the vampires overwhelm the players or the game time expires and one or more of the players survives.
