Type:         game/think

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.
