________________________________

__________________________
o 80286 or above IBM PC or 100% compatible
o standard VGA card (256K of memory on video card)
o minimum of 512K free of conventional memory
Special note to Microsoft(tm) Windows(tm) users:
SuperBlox v. 2.0 cannot run while Microsoft(tm) Windows(tm) is

exit Windows before running SuperBlox. Note that this means

Description:
__________________________
SuperBlox is a 256-color VGA adaptation of Tetris. Colorful graphics
spice up a great game. New features include:
o Bombs!
Blast away blocks in the playing field. Bombs away!
o Dynamic Playing Field Option!
Placed blocks randomly move up or down to add more challenge.
o Self-Play Mode!
Watch the computer play SuperBlox.
o Textured Block Styles!
As the levels increase, the block elements are drawn with new
textures and patterns.
o Animations!
You'll have to see for yourself.
o Configureable!
Change the starting level, allow/disallow bombs, toggle dynamic
playing field option, turn on/off sounds, and more. All of these
options can be changed during the game.
Playing Instructions:
__________________________
Playing instructions are available on-line by selecting the "READ ME!"
choice from the main menu. If you are unfamiliar with the game of
Tetris, watch the demo to see how the game works.
Installation Instructions:
__________________________
Although SuperBlox may be played on both floppy disk or a hard drive, it
is strongly recommended that you install the software on a hard drive.
Using the hard drive is perferred since the game will be more responsive.
To install to your hard drive, copy all of the files on the floppy disk
to the appropriate directory on your hard drive. Below is an example,
assuming the floppy drive is A: and your hard drive is C: and the
destination directory is C:\SBLOX
C:
CD \
MD SBLOX
A:
COPY *.* C:\SBLOX
If SuperBlox came as a zipped archive, copy the zipped archive to the
directory you wish SuperBlox to reside in and then unzip the archive.
To start the game, go to the drive and directory where the program
resides ( e.g. CD \SBLOX ) and enter
BLOX
Command Line Options:
__________________________
There are several command line options available. To see a listing of
the options, type:
BLOX /h
IMPORTANT HINT: Users with computers which have slower video cards
may wish to use the /s command line option. This
option disables some of the video card intensive
operations during the game ( e.g. the shaking of the
screen when a bomb explodes ). Use this option if
the screen shaking slows down the gameplay too much.
Have fun and experiment with the various options that are available!!
