Requirements

  - VGA (must support mode 320x200 with 256 colors)
  - DOS


Instructions

  Try to line up at least three blocks of the same color to make the
  blocks vanish (more than three blocks will give you extra bonus points).
  Lines can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal.

  Guide the blocks to the right place with the [left] and [right] arrow
  keys.

  If you press [Space] or [Enter], the block will fall down faster (drop
  blocks to score more points).

  You can quit at any time by pressing [Esc], or pause the game with [P].


Colors

  The colors used are generated by random. During the game more and more
  colors will appear. If two colors look too much the same, press P (Pause)
  and then continue with new colors.
