[Carlisle doesn't understand what coins have to do with the machine or how a pyramid is supposed to represent a stage rather than stairs, but he understands the concept that he's the snake and must not get devoured by the elephantine man as he lights up the stairs. That seems simple. Nonsensical, but simple.
He looks down at the joystick in the center of the platform at the front of the machine, the arrows around it informing him that it controls the direction of the snake... somehow. He gives the stick a tentative push with one finger, and completes the picture of a man has no idea of how the machine works; nothing happens, save for the images on the screen continuing to show him what he's supposed to be doing. Perhaps he should have tried the buttons first.]
