WellTris, the sequel to Tetris

(yes, it looks lousy in CGA, but awesome in EGA)

To select a new graphics mode after you've chosen one, delete the file
OPTIONS.BIN (highly recommended that you move all of these files into a
WELLTRIS directory on your hard drive).
Difficulty levels - 1st means pieces of size two, three, four.  2nd means
pieces just like the original Tetris (all size four).  3rd means any size
from two to *five*!
Speed - one to five, with five being really fast, four manageable, and the
lower levels good for the first few practice games.  After a certain number
of lines have been completed, a bonus piece is provided (always size five)
and then the speed increases.  As far as we know, the level never increases,
and there is no speed beyond five, although you still receive bonus pieces.
Speed 5 starts at 65 lines completed.  (Note my high scores!)
Ways to gain more points - higher speed, higher level, dropping pieces from
higher in the well, removing blocks of lines at a time.
Controls - space bar to drop pieces, Alt-P to pause, Alt-A to abort this
game, Alt-Q to quit entirely, Alt-N to toggle Next piece viewer.  In movement
mode 1, left and right work when the piece is at the top or bottom, and up
and down move the piece when it's on the side walls.  When going from the top
wall to the right wall, for example, left and right control the piece until
it is *entirely* on the right wall, then up and down take control.  I prefer
this mode.  In movement mode 2, left is always clockwise and right is always
counter-clockwise, which means the keys are completely backwards when a piece
is being controlled on the top wall.  Drives me crazy, but may let you move
a piece all the way around a bit more quickly on speed 5.
The point is to create solid horizontal and/or vertical lines on the floor of
the well, which then disappear as in Tetris.  If you drop a piece which
doesn't fit entirely onto the floor of the well, any wall which contains part
of that piece will turn red (in EGA) and be blocked for the next three pieces.
If you block all four walls, you lose.  Simple.
Dropping pieces while part of them is on one wall and part on another is
especially neat.  Splits the piece into two pieces which follow their
respective directions until either part of them reaches an obstacle; at which
point *both* parts stop.  Useful for placing pieces that wouldn't normally
fit.

Good luck!
