	While creating this game first of all we took pains to make it
interesting for ourselves - the feature that many games  lack  due  to
the fact that their creators  have been much  more  concerned  with  a
nice label and the volume of trade of their monstrous  creation.  What
we say here does not mean we are against a colourful  design,  neither
we are ascetic supporters of a monochrome text mode  and  we  did  our
best to present BIPROLEX+ in graphics and sound. But the  main concern
still was to create the game to be used for fun for a long  time,  but
not to be thrown away in a wastebin after a few hours of amusement.

	Despite having a very  sophisticated  strategy	and  requiring
skills of following many parametres  as  well  as  knowledge  of  many
tricky things - in other words all these habits that the user acquires
in due course of time -  this game at the same time does not  offer  a
dull preparatory  introduction to the rules and documentation as  soon
the basis of it has been  constituted  with  the  help	of   classical
principles of such "hits" as TETRIS  and  ARCANOID  (here  TETLIX  and
ARCALEX), expanded in many ways, altered and "wrapped" in  a  splendid
sprite realization.

	Technically the game requires processor with no less than i386
with 2Mb RAM for the mute mode (4Mb with sound) and a simple  VGA.  To
get a musical background (music, sound effects, speech)  there	should
be a SOUNDBLASTER-compatible sound card. The use  of   mouse  is  also
preferable (3 buttons are recommended).

	The game screen consists of two parts:	the  left  information
panel, presents different information about the  competition  and  the
competitors' parametres; the right panel depicts  the  battle  itself.
Each level is characterized by some initial  configuration  consisting
of  glitching "stones" and multicoloured blocks  of  different  power.
This configuration dictates tactics necessary for the game.  The  main
task of the players  is  to  collect  "stones"  due  to  their  value.
Depending on the type of competition of the current game players  take
sides of one of the competing objects: either TETLIX or ARCALEX.

	TETLIX - is presented  by an object, which can move left-right
in the upper part of the game field. Its main function is to  generate
4-blocked figures, which fall down and fill  the  main	configuration.
The player controls the fall of  figures  and  uses  the  main	device
called "dropping", which is  available  when  horizontal  solid  lines
appear in a  configuration.  TETLIX's  success  depends  much  on  the
effectiveness of these "droppings" as soon,  firstly,  -  the  blocks'
fall is dangerous  for	ARCALEX  and   makes  TETLIX's  tasks  easier,
secondly, - "dropping" is  the  most  effective  means  of  collecting
"stones" since all "stones" belong to TETLIX which  are  contained  in
horizontal solid lines created by TETLIX. Isolated  from  one  another
during	their  fall,  figures	actively   interact   with   so-called
"creatures", which can move freely across the whole unoccupied by  the
objects space. These objects are very important in  the  game  process
functionally. The interaction depends on the type of  the  "creature".

	ARCALEX - is presented by the object which can move left-right
in  the lower part of the  screen.  Its  main  function  is  to   ward
off  an amorphous flying "ball", so that not to let it leave the  game
field. Each missed "ball" leads  to   immediate   "dropping",   making
ARCALEX's situation complicated. The number of   "balls"  is  limited.
ARCALEX  itself  consists  of  3  parts  :   the   central   "engine",
elimination of which destroys the whole body of ARCALEX, and  the  two
spherical "guns" placed to the left and to the right of the  "engine",
which can disappear, get restored, stick to  some  objects  and  shoot
with "bullets". The "ball" can be  of 4 different states.

	We hope, the game's  structure  is  not  too complicated  - if
the user has played BIPROLEX+ just  once,  he/she  would  realize  the
dynamic beauty and logistics of the game.
