-
-
- Brix is an arcade and puzzle experience! Don't let the ultra smooth 256-
-
- colour VGA graphics and animation fool you into thinking Brix is just an
-
- arcade game, because your brain will be taunted, teased, and twisted
-
- as must as your reflexes.
-
-
- Your task in Brix seems simple: Eliminate all of the coloured bricks by
-
- uniting them. But the 112 levels in Brix 1 are also habitated by lasers,
-
- elevators, boiling acid, anti-gravity, teleporters, and more! There are
-
- enough hand-crafted puzzles in this action-puzzler duo to keep you busy
-
- for eons.
-
-
-
- Registration
-
- ============
-
- Register BRIX to get 112 more exciting levels, a level editor to create
-
- your own levels for your friends and enemies, more sound more
-
- graphics...
-
- Just look in the ordering info in the game to know were to get this
-
- beautiful stuff.
-
-
-
- Starting
-
- ========
-
-
- To start Brix, type:
-
-
- BRIX1
-
-
- Brix also speaks German! To start the German version of Brix, type:
-
-
- BRIX1 /d
-
-
-
-
- Troubleshooting
-
- ===============
-
-
- If Brix gives you a "Not Enough Memory" message, you need to free up more
-
- system memory, then start over again. Suggestions:
-
-
- * Try renaming your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files, then rebooting.
-
- This will prevent memory-hogging SR's from being loaded.
-
-
- * Create a boot disk and reboot. To do this:
-
- 1. Put a blank disk in the A: drive.
-
- 2. Type: FORMAT A: /S
-
- 3. Once the disk is formatted, keep the disk drive door closed and
-
- reboot your computer.
-
-
- If Brix still refuses to load properly, the problem is most likely due to
-
- Brix scanning your system for a Sound Blaster card. To solve this, type:
-
-
- BRIX1 /nosb (This turns off the Sound Blaster card)
-
-
- Playing Brix
-
- ============
-
-
- Your main goal is to remove all of the objects (brix) from the screen. To
-
- remove them, you need to put them together -- which causes them to explode.
-
- This is easy enough with two objects, but can be very tricky with three
-
- or more. (Try to figure it out!)
-
-
- To pick up an object, move the red cursor above it and press [space]. The
-
- cursor turns white while you are carrying an object.
-
-
-
-
- Secret Codes
-
- ============
-
-
- When you leave the game (because you missed or finished a level), you will be
-
- told a secret code. Remember this! You can use it later to start back at the
-
- level without going through all of the previous levels. Use the "Secret Code"
-
- option in the main menu.
-
-
-
-
- Difficulty levels
-
- =================
-
-
- Brix has four difficulty levels ranging from easy to hard. While you're
-
- first learning to play, we recommend the easy level. It gives you more
-
- time to complete each puzzle.
-
-
-
-
-
- While playing!
-
- ==============
-
-
- Press [Escape] to bring up a menu of options:
-
- Abort game: Lets you leave the actual game. Use this option once you've
-
- thoroughly given up and need to take a break!
-
- Continue game: Keep on playing!
-
- Retry level: Lets you start over from scratch on the current level, in
-
- case you've gotten into an unsolvable mess. Beware, the
-
- time is not set back!
-
- Solve: Brix will solve the level for you. (Brix 2 Deluxe only!) This will
-
- cost you 20000 points in the second level, 40000 points in the
-
- third level, and so on.
