--------------------------------------------------------------------------
By S. Raaijmakers in 1993 Release 1.0 E-mail: stijnr@sci.kun.nl
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This program was made using:
AMOS
Deluxe Paint
FED
The Multris font is slightly based on \TeX's {\tt cmr} fonts.
WHAT IS THIS?
This is `Multris', a Tetris-clone. This is a pre-release version, but not
just a pre-release version. It has many options and looks nice. You don't
have to read these docs to be able to play it.

I didn't really spend much time on the joystick part, so it's rotten.
THIS IS THE *TH TETRIS-CLONE!
It is indeed. If you ask me, the perfect Tetris still does not exist. But
this one comes close. In fact, the only thing the final version will lack,
is good response to pressed keys.
WHAT CAN'T YOU DO?
These are the options you don't have in this version, but will appear in
the next version:
o Save and load your configurations, thus allowing you to design your own
library of styles.
o Assign your own keys to the available movements: turn right, turn left,
move right, move left, move down and drop.
o Design your own block-styles (sprites used for the blocks) using an IFF-
paint program like DPaint.
o Optional music/sound/silence.
These are the options you don't have in this version and might never
appear in any future release:
o Design your own block-sets.
o Levels which allready have blocks in it (like the Arcade version).
o See the next block.

MONEY
I don't expect any money for this program at all. It is Public Domain and
not Shareware. Just play it a lot if you like it, and let your friends
play and copy it.
PROGRAMMERS
If you're planning to make Tetris, please read the programmers-guide; it's
almost impossible to write a good Tetris if you haven't given it plenty of
thought. This was my third version (my first was on a CBM 64) and it's
finally pretty OK.
OTHER TETRIS CLONES
These are some other Tetris clones:
T-Triz (2.0) Great music and BIG blocks. Unfortunately, you tend to keep
your eyes on the lower left corner of the screen. Are you a
Maestro?
Tetron Many options, especially in future versions. It's a bit slow,
but the arcade-type levels are real tough.
Colors Looks nice, plays nice and has poor sounds. It isn't really a
Tetris, it's a combination of Tetris and Othello.
Zetris Run's in a window on your Workbench screen. Nothing special.
Hextris Tetris with six-sides blocks. Takes a while to get used to,
but it's fun to play.
Intereferon A bit like Colors. Looks nice, sounds nice, plays nice, but
you won't get hooked to it.
Tettrix Awfull control and bad sounds. It does show the next three
blocks, though.
Sizetris Well, it might have been nice if it worked properly.
FUN
Have fun with Multris!
