Author:  Ambrosia
Type:  Shareware $15

Preferred Memory:  1.5MB

Object: Ambrosia release...

A fusion between the scientific concept of atomic bonding and the addictive game play of Tetris, Chiral is based upon the ill fated tale of Molecular Tendencies Laboratories.  Attempting to develop a new form of "clean energy," molecular chemists have created a machine that fabricates atoms out of thin air; or in the case of heavy atoms, not so thin air.  Unfortunately for the chemists in the lab, and mankind in general, once the reaction has started there is no way to stop it.  The result is the introduction of unattached, unstable atoms into our atmosphere.  So much for clean energy, we should have stuck with windmills and water wheels.  As an acting participant in this experiment gone wrong, the player must stabilize these newly formed atoms to avoid further turmoil in this already strife ridden world of ours.
