the "Deluxe Edition", you can help the author by sharing this
program with anyone you think will enjoy it.
HOW TO ORDER CONNECTRIS - DELUXE EDITION
If you enjoy playing CONNECTRIS, you should consider
purchasing G-stones III - Deluxe Edition. The price is just

CNCTRS.EXE in it.
2. Type "CNCTRS" and press enter.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
G-stones III requires a VGA monitor and at least 554 Kb of
free memory to run.
RANDOM LEVELS?
G-stones III introduces the random level concept. This
multiplies the challenge of the game since you never know what
level will be next. You will find yourself asking, "Should I
use my last excavator on this level, or will I need one for the
next". This keeps the game interest level high.
THE GAME
The object of G-stones III is to clear all the gems on the
screen and advance thru all the levels. The raw and processed
gems are the only gems required to be removed before the player
is advanced. With some clever paddle control, the other gems
can be used to greatly increase a player's score.
This section gives a description of the different types of Gems.
G-stones III is a "Traditional" breakout style game and the
gems provide unique obstacles which must be couquered on each
level.
