Version History 1.0 - FAQ posted and main game finished ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro Hi, I'm taboo, Resetti, and MALLOW and yes, I am one person with many different names. This is my BRAiN DRAiN FAQ. This FAQ was made of boredom and long nights of it. It was made for people that are having trouble with this game. BRAiN DRAiN was a puzzle game made by Acclaim for the Game Boy in 1997. It also has the shortest instruction booklet I have ever seen with four small pages of information that can be found in the options menu as well. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Game Screen On the top left of the screen is the preview screen where you can see what you are trying to make. Below that is the side graphic with the time limit, stage number and a picture of a person doing something. To the right of the preview screen is the top graphic with the amount of flashes and clocks. The rest of the screen is where you will be playing and trying to match your picture with the preview screens. Before every stage the game will mix up the pieces from their original order to another one. Your job is to fix it back to the way it was. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Controls Select - lets you select new game or password at the brain game screen Start - selects a option at the main menu and exits out of the option screen A - selects a option, turns selected pieces clockwise in the game B - turns selected pieces counter clockwise ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Items Clock- gives a extra ten seconds to complete the puzzle Beat a stage in under ten seconds to earn one Hold A to use one Flash- lets you skip the current stage Beat the bonus game with a flash in the sample area to earn one Hold B to use one Credit- lets you continue if you lose Beat the bonus game with a face in the sample area to earn one Use it when you lose in a puzzle to keep going ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brain Game The best part of the game for me, with over 100 levels to play it won't be ending any time soon. At certain parts of the game you have the chance to win a credit or a flash, an item that will allow you to skip a stage. In the bonus stages you have to fix a picture of a baby, a chalkboard or a laboratory. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brain Race Here you must complete ten stages of a difficulty level as fast as possible. About halfway through you will get a credit. Brain Race Times Think your fast? Send in your best times for each difficulty level to Resetti@hotmail.com under the subject BRAIN DRAIN TIMES ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Stages In BRAiN DRAiN, there are five different stages that can and will appear through the game. There are no real differences between the stages other than the backgrounds and pieces in them. The Dank Mines Looks like were digging deep into the earth to find treasure!

Effects only appear in Student and Genius levels Blackout- every time you move a set of pieces the pieces will become a bunch of question marks. Row Blackout- every few seconds a row is covered in question marks Column Blackout- every few seconds a column is covered in question marks Random Blackout- random areas of the board will become question marks Control Block- when you turn a set of pieces your controller gets frozen in place for a few seconds Teaser- some pieces will move by themselves Control Teaser- the controller will move by itself at times ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stage Nos. for the difficulty levels Rookie 1-50 Student 21- Genius ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Color Setups If your one of the fortunate people who got a Super Game Boy for Super NES then you're in luck because I have some color setups for this game! The Super Game Boy was a special Super NES attachment that allowed you to play Game Boy and compatible Game Boy Color games on your Super NES without batteries, full screen and with customizable color schemes. I'm not sure where you can get one now but you could check online somewhere. As for these passwords you can use these at the top of the custom color screen where it has PASSWORD in dark brown in the specified stages and screens. Send your Super Game Boy color passwords for the game to Resetti@Hotmail.com under the subject COLOR PASSWORDS.
