2. How to Play the Game:

     A. The basic premise of the game
        is similar to TETRIS (tm). You
        must guide various blocks down
        the screen and try to fit them 
        together as close as possible
        as they pile up. If you fit 
        together a layer without leaving
        any spaces, then that layer will
        collapse. If you collapse enough
        layers, then you will advance to
        the next level. If the pile of 
        blocks reaches the top, then you
        the game is over.

     B. There are 10 levels to complete
        to win the game. The game gives
        you the option of starting on
        levels 1-4.

     C. There are 2 skill levels:
          
        Level 1: Just the basic blocks.

        Level 2: Two additional items-
                 
                   - A nasty diamond shaped 
                     block, and
                   
                   - A helpful bomb.

     D. Game Controls:

        Joystick left or right- move the
          blocks left or right.

        Joystick down- drop the block at
          that spot.

        Fire Button- Rotate the block.

        Control-C: return to desktop.


     E. There are a couple of surprises
        if you finish level 6, and if you
        win the game (finish level 10).
