Short: Yet another tetris clone - old but fun Author: platon@cum.de (Chris Hodges) Uploader: platon@cum.de (Chris Hodges) Version: V1.1 (30-Mar-97) Type: game/think Action: PAL Amotrix V1.1. Date: 30-Mar-97. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quick Note ~~~~~~~~~~ This game was originally written around 1992. I just recompiled it using my AMCAF Extension and changed some music and sound routines and a few other things. There are still the same old bugs in it like in 1992, but now it works on every Amiga. I also added the possibility of using any ProTracker module as ingame music. The Game ~~~~~~~~ This is another Tetris variation with some more ideas. First there is a new object: a drop which fills five free fields in the playfield using a special algorithm. Then there is an energy bar, which you can increase by pulling the stick down and decrement by pressing the joystick up. What does this mean? If you press your joystick down, the falling speed of the object will is increased and fill the energy bar. If you have enough energy left, you can stop the object by pushing the joy up. This can be very useful in higher levels. Finally, if you get a line in the two player mode the opponent loses a field (wicked, isn't it?). In the main menu you can choose from three different sets of objects by simply pressing a key from 1 to 3. The first on is the normal and easiest set. The second I think is the most difficult one. The third set is just medium, not too hard. History ~~~~~~~ V1.1 (30-Mar-97): Recompiled using the AMCAF Extension. Changed sfx & music routines. Misc changes. V1.0 (01-Aug-92): First release (I suppose).
