---------------------------------------------------------------------------
'The Age of Rock' is an action-game for up to 3 Players. You must shoot
with stones at blocks to complete them to a rectangle. If the blocks are
rectangelous, they'll disappear and leave you some points. The bigger the
blocks are, the more points you get. But the blocks are coming nearer to
the bottom. If they reach you, you'll die. And the blocks are even more
mean. They might come along in 4 different colours. Grey means, you can
shoot at them everytime. But red, blue or green blocks can only be shot by
ships with the same colour. You cycle your ship-colour by joystick-up. If
you get the feeling, the task is too easy for you, well, joystick-down
increases the falling speed of blocks and gets you some extrapoints.

The Age Of Rock is an old game I wrote around 1990 and 1991.
It is an extended version of a videogame I saw called 'Block Hole'.
Last week I found it in my source-archive and polished it up a little,
removed some bugs and here we are.
Suggestions, Bugreports, Comments,
anything is welcome and goes to
