- Beyond Columns 1.1 (BEYOND)
-
- By Brad P. Taylor
-
- "...is like Tetris, only different." The original columns game, however,
- according to the author of BEYOND, was invented for the X window system by
- Jay Geertsen of HP.
-
-
-
- In this game, you control columns as they move down the screen, much like with
-
- Tetris. However, each column is composed of three different blocks and you
-
- make the columns dissolve by getting three blocks of the same color or design
-
- (your choice of several block designs is given) in a row, vertically,
-
- horizontally, or diagonally.
-
-
-
- To further complicate things, you can rearrange the blocks within the columns
-
- so that, for example, if a column on the bottom has two green blocks on top
-
- and the falling column has a green block in the middle, say, you can rotate
-
- the middle green block to the bottom of the column so that when it lands on
-
- the column with the two green blocks, there will be three green blocks in a
-
- row, causing them to dissolve. This program is a lot more difficult than Tetris.
- This program must be used with VGA or MVGA only!
