- PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
-
- G-stones III requires a VGA monitor and at least 554 Kb of
- free memory to run.
-
- RANDOM LEVELS?
-
- G-stones III introduces the random level concept. This
- multiplies the challenge of the game since you never know what
- level will be next. You will find yourself asking, "Should I
- use my last excavator on this level, or will I need one for the
- next". This keeps the game interest level high.
-
-
- THE GAME
-
- The object of G-stones III is to clear all the gems on the
- screen and advance thru all the levels. The raw and processed
- gems are the only gems required to be removed before the player
- is advanced. With some clever paddle control, the other gems
- can be used to greatly increase a player's score.
-
- This section gives a description of the different types of Gems.
- G-stones III is a "Traditional" breakout style game and the
- gems provide unique obstacles which must be couquered on each
- level.
