The buttons on the menu bar are the main method of accessing information in the eGames Browser. Buttons with a red down arrow on them have sub-menus with more information beneath them.

The menu button bar has the following buttons and information:

GAME: This button will take you to the main page that was displayed when you first started the program. The Game page will have a button (or buttons, depending on the number of games on this CD) for the game. Click on the button for the game and it will start automatically. For most people, this will be the most important and frequently used page in the browser.
