I was +inspired by the lack enjoyable games for our favorite handheld. [Not since the +Goodies Disks have been available! -jkh-] This game, though it lacks some of +the whistles and bangs of fancy versions, performs on par with quality arcade +versions (nota bene -> SPEED). At my college, every person who picks up my +calculator is immediately hooked for hours. + +This version is written for the CHIP48 game interpreter (c) +copyright 1990 Andreas Gustafsson. + +The 4 key is left rotate, 5 - left move, 6 - right move, 1 +- drop, ENTER - restart, DROP - end. After every 5 lines, the speed +increases slightly and peaks at 45 lines. + +There is room for improvement in this version. Notably, background +pictures, a pause key (for now, hold ON), two rotate keys, various +starting skill levels, a B version which starts with randomn blocks, +finishing graphics, and high scores, just to name a few. + +In order for improvements, I need to know if there is reasonable +demand. If this game is worth playing for hours upon hours, please let +me know. If you wish to support the improvements, want future versions, +and want to see other games ported to the HP48S, send $5.00 to: + + FRAN DACHILLE + WEBB INSTITUTE + GLEN COVE, NY 11542 + -- cgit v1.2.3
