Gameplay

This system has the shape of a toy phone, and is connected to the TV's audio output jack. It has four large main buttons numbered 1 to 4, each with a different color (red, blue, green, yellow). Throughout the video, the viewer receives calls from characters on-screen, and answers questions using the telephone. The phone uses signals from the video (inaudible through the built-in speaker), to interact with the viewer, as such for giving bad or good answers.
