- ** HOW TO PLAY QUATRIS II+ **
-
- 1. Rules
-
- If you know how to play Tetris, please press PgDn key in your cursor pad
- to skip this section and go to section 2. If you are a first time
- player, do not use any of the bombs until you have mastered the whole
- concept of playing the basics of Quatris described in this page.
-
- These are the basic rules for playing Quatris II+ which are similar to
- Tetris: You are given objects composed of 2 or more blocks, such as the
- ones shown below which will fall from the top of the Quatris Well.
-
- @SOBJ
-
- As these objects fall down slowly from the top of the screen, you can
- rotate them by pressing the up arrow key and move them left, right, and
- down using the other arrow cursor keys.
-
- You are to rotate and guide these objects to the bottom of the well in a
- way so that they will all "fit" together as if you were playing a jig-saw
- puzzle--you should allow no blank spaces between them. If you make a
- mistake, don't worry about them at this point.
-
- When one or more rows are filled with no blank spaces in between, those
- rows will disappear. You are to repeat this process of deleting the rows
- so that the objects don't stack up to the top.

- 2. Other Features
-
- You can use Regular, Super, or Match bomb by pressing "1", "2", or "3,"
- repectively. Again, if you are a first time player, using the bombs at
- this point can give you a wrong idea of how this game works.
-
- With over 50 challenging object shapes in the current commercial version,
- Quatris II+ is a tournament style game that can take hours to complete.
- For the player's convenience, Quatris II+ lets the player save the game
- and continue at a later time. To save the game, simply press [ESC] and
- your game will be saved using your NAME as the file name with ".SAV"
- extension in the Quatris II+ directory. This is the same file where your
- keyboard configuration is also stored.
-
- You will see new and different object shapes as your level increases. The
- size of the Quatris Well also changes as your game level increases to give
- you the most challenging experience of your life.
