How To Play.

There Are 20 Different Patterned Blocks In STAX.  They Fall From The Top
Of The Screen To The Bottom.  When 3 Blocks Of The Same Type Create A Line
On The Screen Either Vertically, Horizontally OR Diagonally All 3 Blocks
Will Dissapear.  And The Blocks Above These (if any) Will Fall.  All That
You Have To Do Is To Make A Certain Number Of Lines Of 3.  You Complete A
Level When The LEFT Counter Is At Zero.  You Die When You Fill The Screen
To The Top With Blocks In Any Column.  Pushing Up On Your Stick Will Slow
The Blocks (and your points) And Pulling Down Will Speed Up The Blocks 
(and your points).  Left And Right Move The Blocks Left And Right.  When
Your Block Moves Off The Right Side It Will Come In The Left Side And 
Vice-Versa.  Rows Of 3 Can Also Be Split By The Sides (1 Block Be On One 
Side And 2 On The Other) As Long As They Make A Line They Will Still 
Dissapear.  

As The Levels Progress The Speed At Which The Blocks Fall May Increase OR
Decrease But Each Level Will Be In Some Way Harder Than The One Before.

The Best Way To Learn Is To Play So Quit This Doc And Load The Main Game.

See Ya In Another DC Design / Fizzypop UK Software Release.

TTFN  Marc.
