Information about “WINDOWS ARCADE GAMES I”
People with happy trigger fingers will love this game. ATMOIDS is a new
Windows version of Asteroids. Your mission is simple, blast the
boulders away until they get pulverized out of existence. Your trusty
interstellar ship is guided with the cursor keys. This game will
challenge even the most experienced players, since there is no
hyper-space key to dodge out of the way at the last second.
You're on the final approach one thousand meters above the moon, do you
have what it takes to land the Lunar Excursion Module without creating
another crater?
On this real-time simulation you must safely guide your lander with the
mouse before you run out of fuel, or accumulate too much horizontal and
vertical speed. You can change the settings for gravity, fuel, and
thrust if you desire another level of difficulty.
KLOTZ is an interesting Tetris clone from Europe. As in the original
Tetris, polygons fall from the top of your screen and it's your job to
pack them neatly at the bottom before they stack up. It has 11 levels
of play, optional multi-windowed displays, a look-ahead to the next
piece, and even a statistical bar-line chart depicting fallen pieces.
If you've never played this type of game, watch out, it's quite
addicting.
WINTRIS is another Tetris-like game in which falling blocks must be
rotated and dropped to form solid lines. This program has all the
standard features; you can select the level, number of lines to
begin with, speed up, slow down, sound, and music. All these features
can be preset or changed on the fly. A unique feature of the game is
"The Extended Set". The "Extended Set" is an extra set of block shapes
not found on any other game. This feature is worth checking out,
especially if you have become adept or bored with the same shapes which
are prevalent in similar games.

KLOTZ.DOC
KLOTZ is a game of falling pieces similar to TETRIS, for use
under Microsoft Windows 2.x.
The current version is 2.09.
KLOTZ209.ZIP contains the following files:
-----------------------------------------------------------
KLOTZ.DOC This file
KLOTZ.WRI A five page description of the
game.
KLOTZ.EXE The game (English version)
-----------------------------------------------------------
DOCUMENTATION
KLOTZ.WRI is written with Windows Write, using a printer driver for the
HP DeskJet Plus printer. If you have something different, (PostScript
printer, HP LaserJet with Softfonts), first try to print it asis. If
this doesn't work, try to change the whole document to a font your
printer supports. You can do that most easily by marking the whole
document with CTRL-SHIFT-End and then changing the font. Note: you
don't loose the font size information, if you select a new font's name
only and not a specific font size. If this still doesn't work, save
the document as KLOTZ.TXT with TEXT ONLY switched on. Then load
KLOTZ.TXT into the Notepad, switch line wrap to on and print it using
the Notepad's PRINT function.
You don't need to read the documentation in order to play KLOTZ.
INSTALLATION
Installation of KLOTZ is easy: simply copy KLOTZ.EXE into
the directory you normally use for Microsoft Windows
applications and start it from there. KLOTZ will create
a file KLOTZ20.DAT after the first play. It will change WIN.INI,
if you request it to do so.

WINTRIS.DOC
WINTRIS (TETRIS for MS WINDOWS)
Purpose:
The purpose of the game is to fill as many horizontal lines as possible.
When a line is filled it disappears and all of the blocks above it shift
down.
Motion:
to move a block right press: '6' or right arrow or right mouse button
to move a block left press: '4' or left arrow or left mouse button
to rotate a block press: '5' or empty key on NumPad or middle mouse button
to drop a block press: '2' or down arrow or space bar
(when using mouse, make sure the pointer is inside the window)
Scoring:
Points are scored every time a line or several lines disappear. If you
used a 'drop' key and the block made a line(s) disappear,
you will receive more points, depending on how far the block fell.
Also the more lines disappear at the same time, the more points are
awarded. If 1 line disappears you get 1 point; if 2 lines
disappear you get 2 points per line for a total of 4 points; if
3 lines disappear you get 3 points per line for a total of 9 points;
and 16 points for 4 disappearing lines.
The score is kept in the caption bar. There are two numbers separated
by a ':'; the one on the right is your current score and the one on the
left is your current speed level. Speed level increases every time
50 blocks have been dropped. You can also start with a higher speed
by choosing the appropriate level at the beginning of the game.
Other Features:
You can increase your current speed level by pressing "Ctrl+F".
And you can decrease your current speed level by pressing "Ctrl+S".
You cannot slow down below your starting level; thus, if you started
at speed level 5 and are currently playing at level seven, the lowest
speed level that you can go to is 5.
For a more challenging game, you can choose to have some lines filled
when the game starts. The number of pre-filled lines can be chosen
from the score board dialog.
You can restart the game by pressing "Ctrl+N", at this point you will
get a list of the top ten scores and can choose a different speed level and
starting number of lines filled.
The game terminates when there is no more room for falling blocks.
If your score is in the top ten, then you will be prompted for your name.
Top ten scores are kept in the file -- 'wintris.scr'.
"Ctrl+P"/"Ctrl+C" pauses/continues the game
"Ctrl+O" toggles sound (on/off)
"Ctrl+M" toggles sound (music/beeps)
"Ctrl+Z" resizes screen to the standard size
"Ctrl+N" start new game
"Ctrl+S" slower play
"Ctrl+F" faster play
"Ctrl+E" toggles standard set/extended set
WINTRIS is a shareware product.
Please freely distribute the product, (and make sure you include
both files, wintris.exe and wintris.doc) and don't charge anything
