***  THE GAME

     
     Starting Bloxz
     
     When you run the game, you will see a titlescreen, 
     after you press a key, a menu will come up.
     From this menu you can choose:  Start Game
                                     Enter Passcode
                                     Help on Bloxz
                                and  Quit to DOS
     If this is the first time you have played, you should
     choose Start Game to start playing from the beginning.
     The Enter Passcode option lets you enter a passcode
     that you got from a previous game. 
     The Help on Bloxz option shows some of the keys used
     during the game.
     Quit to DOS exits the game.

     
     Playing the game

     The object of Bloxz is to defeat all the levels by     
     eliminating all the blocks in each level.  
     You eliminate the blocks by kicking them into 
     other blocks of the same kind.
     You move the man around using the cursor keys, and 
     press space to kick a block.  You alway kick in the
     last direction that you pressed the key for.
     You can kick the blocks in the four basic directions.
     If you kick a block that has only 1 block right on 
     the other side, then the block on the other side
     wil be the one kicked. 
     In the game there are squares that have arrows or 
     red octagons on them, the arrows change the
     direction of blocks that hit them to the direction
     that the arrows are pointing.  The octagons stop
     the block.

     While playing the game, you may press ESC to bring up
     the game menu
