Game Description

ALPHATRIS tm is an arcade style word game in which players must move falling letters using the right, left, and down command buttons and arrange them into words. When a word is created, it is removed from the playing screen making room for additional letters. The game continues until the center row is filled and no more letters can fit. Special features such as Power Zap, Bonus Letters, Bonus Word, Two Sided Pieces and Double Letter Pieces add additional challenge to this game to make it a very fun game.

Alphatris tm is educational as well as fun. It is a great game for building word skills in school aged children, yet, is challenging enough for all ages. The included game dictionary contains over 13,500 two, three, four and five letter words. The dictionary includes many slang and abbreviated words.

Alphatristm may be played in English, Spanish, Italian, or French.


System Requirements

Alphatris tm Requires the following:

- 486 DX2-66 or greater processor (* Pentium Recommended)

- Windows 95 Operating System or higher

- Mouse

- 10 MB free hard drive space

- Sound Card (Optional)

- For best results, display should be set to High Color (16 bit) or better.

  Using 256 colors or lower could result in screen flicker.

- System fonts should be set to the default SMALL setting.

  Other font settings could result in mis-aligned graphics.

* Testing conducted on a 486dx2-66 with 32mb of ram proved to be sufficient, however, noticeable loss of speed was apparent. For best results, this game should be used on a pentium class machine.

Object of Game
Object of Alphatris

The object of Alphatris is to create words from the falling letters. The larger the word created, the higher the score. Letters come in three different colors. You do not need to use the same color letters to create a word, however, scores for words made are higher if same colors used. The game continues until the center row fills with unused letters and no more new letters can fit.


Scoring

List of scoring values:

2 letter word of different color - 100 Points (Level 1 and 2 only)

3 letter word of different color - 1000 Points (Level 1 to 5 only)

4 letter word of different color - 2500 Points

5 letter word of different color - 5000 Points

2 letter word of same color - 1000 Points (Level 1 and 2 only)

3 letter word of same color - 10000 Points (Level 1 to 5 only)

4 letter word of same color - 25000 Points

5 letter word of same color - 50000 Points

In addition to the point values above, the following points can be earned:

BONUS LETTER- Using a bonus letter doubles the words scoring value.

BONUS WORD- Creating the bonus word in same color scores a bonus 75000 points.


  Power Zap

During game play, you will given a POWER ZAP game piece at random. This piece can be used to remove all of the same letters. No points are earned for removing letters with the power zap. If the power zap lands on the bottom of the board and lands on no letters, then no letters will be removed. You may use the ZAP command button to remove the power zap piece if you do not wish to remove any pieces.

For example: If you get the POWER ZAP piece and you move it so it comes to rest on top of a RED C, all RED C's on the game board will be removed.


 Bonus Letters

The letters J Q V X and Z are bonus letters. They are silver colored. Using a bonus letter to create a word, doubles that words point value. The bonus letter color is considered neutral. In other words, if you create a four letter word with three red letters and a bonus letter, then the word is still counted as being the same color.


Bonus Word

At the beginning of each game, a five letter bonus word is chosen at random. It is displayed in the upper right hand side of the playing screen. If you create this word during game using all the same color tiles, you receive a 150000 point bonus and a new bonus word is selected. If you create the bonus word in mixed colors, you receive a 75000 point bonus.
