INSTALLATION ------------ What PowerTetris requires: - an Amiga with at least Kickstart/Workbench 1.2. - ~460KB Chip Memory & ~240KB Fast Memory (1MB Amiga500 Ok!) PowerTetris works fine (better?) with any 680x0 ECS or AGA machines. This demo-version shareware of PowerTetris, is quite limited: only 3 minutes of game and only the first 5 levels of the 'Custom' mode. Some boring requesters 'This is the Shareware version!' slow down the menus. Register yourself to play the REAL Powertetris! LAUNCHING POWERTETRIS --------------------- PowerTetris may be run from either Workbench or a Shell. It can be installed on Hard disk. When it starts, it looks for a file in the current directory called POWER.HSC that contains the current highscores. QUICK DOCUMENTATION ------------------- (Register yourself for fully-explained documentation!) At first, you can choose several options in the menu. The left column selects joystick 1, j2 or keyboard interface for each player. Then, you can choose which type of game you are going to play Classic for linear game, Custom for 25-level game and duel for two player-competition mode play. You can click on 'Highscores' to look at Top20-highscores or on 'About' to see PowerTetris's credits. Now, You can click on 'Start!' to enter the game. Two players can play at the same time, each game is perfectly independent from the other. (Not in 'Duel Mode' of course...) The rules are the classical Tetris(R) ones: The point is to makes full lines with geometrical pieces. Each finished line destroys itself and drags down all that is on its top. You lose when you reach the top of the screenplay.
