Instructions
Welcome to Spin Brix, and thanx for taking the time to read the
instructions.
Well you've no doubt played the game by now. OK so it's no Genetic

large amount of work and coke (& various substances for benny 8*]).

Story
Don't be a fool !
Game Play
The main aim is to stop the blocks reaching the top of the screen.You do
this by manipulating th blocks to form lines. When a line is made it will
disapear.
You score points for manipulating the blocks and for making lines.
The amount you score depends on what difficulty and level you are
currently playing on.
If you manage to get 4 lines at once you get a BONUS.
Simple enough but totaly addictive.
There are 2 methods of play :
'Tetris' This is standard Tetris mode. Simply position the standard
blocks.
'SpinBrix' In this mode the game is harder & there are some new blocks
to deal with.
'Duel' mode
This is where the real fun starts. This allows you to play 2 players
against each other.
The idea is to make lines yourself and block the other player
from making any. Simple eh ? Nah !
When you select 'Duel' mode you can set the number of lines for the duel.
Simply type in the number you want on the appropriate screen. If you just
press <RETURN> then the default is 50 lines.
In this mode Player 1 uses the Joystick & Player 2 uses keys.
There are 9 different start levels to play from. We recommend starting at
level 6 if you are a seasoned Tetris player if not start from 0 & work up
As you progress the speed (level) will increase until you reach level 8.
