789.0. "TETRIS help required." by SNOC02::WILEYROBIN (The Bear) Fri Mar 02 1990 03:39

    I have copied STETRIS2.ARC and installed it successfully.
    
    Now, how do you work it?????
    
    There was no documentation, and we cannot make anything useful happen
    by manipulating keys, joystick, mouse, buttons, etc.
    
    Any help would be appreciated.
    
    Regards,
    Robin Wiley @ADO or @SNO

	This program, like COLUMNS, needs high resolution to run.  I suspect
	you're running it in medium (since I originally had the same 
	problem).  You can only see the top half of the screen and cannot
	see the menu.  It seems to run OK with MONOWARE for a color
	monitor.

789.2TETRIS DRIVES YOU LOOPYFILTON::SMITH_TMon Aug 06 1990 18:0422
    HOW DO I WORK IT EH!!
    
    I have the original TETRIS S/W so I will assume its similar
    
    Basically its a case of random shapes dropping down a grid from
    the top. The idea is to turn the shapes and interlock them so as
    to make a complete row horizontally which then disappears and scores
    you some points. The higher up the screen it goes the harder it
    obviously get as reaction times are quicker, but it does score more
    points.
    	My joystick works OK so I aint sure why yours dont
    	As for the Keypad
    
    	7=left	8=twist shape 	9=right
    	4 or Spacebar =drop shape (scores more points that letting it
    settle on its own)
    
    Hope this helps But you'll soon get hacked of with the Music!!!!!!
