- The Last Tetris v1.0(PAL)
- ^----------NOTICE
- (c) 1993 by Fredrik Lidberg
- ---------------------------
-
-
- INTRODUCTION:
- -------------
- Due to the fact that I have never liked any of the Tetris-clones made for
- the Amiga, I started coding my very own Tetris sometime in May 93 and it
- is now, 23/7 1993, completed.
-
-
- DESCRIPTION:
- ------------
- The Last Tetris is programmed in Assembler (of course) and everything is
- nicely done (as nice as possible). It has been developed on an Amiga500+
- (kick2.0) with 1MByte Chip and 2MByte Fast, it has also been tested on
- 1.3-machines.
-
- There should be no problem running it on any Amiga-computer ranging
- from A500 to A4000, on any 680x0-processor. If you however should have
- some problems, please let me know.
-
- The program will take over the System completely when it is run, but
- it will give it back when you quit the game (no need to reboot).
-
- Hiscores will be saved in the S: -directory in the file
- 'TheLastTetris.hiscore'.
-
-
- REQUIREMENTS:
- -------------
- Enough memory to be run. (ca 300 KBytes)
- PAL-mode.
-
-
- INSTALLING:
- -----------
- The Last Tetris doesn't need any special kind of installation, but remember
- that the hiscores are placed in the S: -directory.
-
- No hiscore-file is included in this package, since you would never beat my
- hiscores :)
-
- To reset the hiscores just delete the hiscore-file 'TheLastTetris.hiscore'.
-
-
- STARTING The Last Tetris :
- --------------------------
- It can be started from CLI or Workbench (using it's icon)
- without any problems.
-
-
- HOW IS The Last Tetris PLAYED:
- ---------------------
- The purpose is to move the falling blocks around and to place them so
- that full rows are made, making these full rows to vanish.
-
-
- The following keys are used (always visible on the game-screen):
-
- cursor-left = moves block left
- cursor-right = moves block right
- cursor-up = rotates block
- space = moves block down
-
- L = rotates the level from 1-9 and then back to 1
- N = toggles NEXT on/off
- P = start playing the game,
- or toggle pause on/off when playing
- Esc = Quit the game,
- when playing you will come back to the introduction-screens
- when at the introduction-screens you will get back to the
- system (Workbench or CLI).
-
- SCORING:
- --------
- Pressing the blocks down (using space) will give the following scores for
- every down-movement. If NEXT is ON these scores are subtracted with 2 p.
-
- level 1: 3 p
- 2,3: 4 p
- 4,5: 5 p
- 6,7: 6 p
- 8,9: 7 p
-
-
- completing X number of full rows with one block:
-
- 1 row: 50 p
- 2 rows: 100 p
- 3 rows: 200 p
- 4 rows: 400 p
-
