             The very short  documentation  says  "BRIX is an arcade
        and puzzle experience!" That's a pretty good description for
        one of the best games I've seen in some time.  Not  only  is
        it  an  exciting  arcade  game, it's also one that makes you
        think and plan ahead before you make any move.
        
             To use an old cliche, BRIX is easy to play, but hard to
        master.  The object is  to eliminate the different patterned
        tiles by making them fall in place next to a  matching  one.
        That  sounds simple enough, but the hard part is to maneuver
        your tiles to accomplish this.  When you have an even number
        of matching tiles, this  isn't  too  difficult.  But, if you
        have an odd number, it can be tricky to get three of them to
        line up.  To make things worse, each level is  timed.   Your
        points  are  dependent on how long it takes to complete each
        level.
        
             BRIX I  has  112  levels  of  play  and  4 skill levels
        ranging from EASIEST to HARDEST.  The easier levels give you
        more time to finish.  This is especially important the first
        few times you play.  After you play this game for  a  while,
        you  can  move up to the harder levels.  The first couple of
        levels  are  more  or  less  primers  to  show  you  all the
        obstacles and gives you a "feel" for the game.  You will run
        into elevators,  quick  sand,  water,  bricks,  lasers,  and
        teleporters.   You'll even find that the screen will flip on
        you at times.  It'll take  a  lot  of strategy to get a good
        score.
        
             BRIX has all you could want in a game.   It  has  great
        graphics  and  fluid  movement.  It even has a Sound Blaster
        sound track.  If you want, you can play head to head with an
        opponent.  Be sure to give  yourself  plenty of time, as you
        won't want to stop once you start.  This one  will  probably
        get added to my "To Register" list!
