Hangtetris v5.1
***************

1. What?
........

This is a variation of the well-known game TETRIS.
So blocks with different forms fall down one after one and you have to
navigate them in such a way that they fit nicely together.
If you do a good job then you will have made a full horizontal line soon,
which will disappear, causing the upper blocks to fall down.
If you succeed in removing 5 lines then you get a bonus and you will go to 
the next level! The higher the level the more points you earn for placing a
block and removing a line...
However it is not as simple as it looks as weird shapes of blocks will
soon make your life difficult. Also the speed of the game raises fast and
you will get in deep troubles from a certain level onwards...
But we are not that nasty and to help you doing the job there are the BOMBS!
So when there is falling down a block, looking not to nice to you then you
just explode it! Of course the number of bombs is limited...

3. Advantages?
..............

* Some characteristics you will hardly find in another Tetris:
  - More than 40 different forms of blocks!!
  - Mirror option (use horizontal or vertical mirror!)
  - Bombs (destroy a block in its flight; you can save up to 32 bombs for
    further levels)  
  - Turbo move (making the game extra fast and exciting; blocks can be moved 
    by one push on the button to the other side)
* No special system requirements (min. 286sx and VGA) and it will normally
work under every DOS and WINDOWS-version! 
* Educational game, betters your spatial insight.
* You get 12 different levels for free!


4. Disadvantages?
.................

* The UNREGISTERED version has a limitation.
You will be able to continue after level 12 but the levels will not change
anymore. You do not have a lot of bombs neither. The registered version
will give you at least 5 bombs per level from level 11 onwards!
However, this is very generous and for the rest it works like the
registered version. It has no time limitation.
* The REGISTERED version costs you a registration fee but you will get 12
additional exciting levels for it and more bombs. 

5. Register?
............

If you want to use this software regularly then you should register.
Of course, we can not forbid people to use the limited version, but remember
that you will get more different levels and more bombs! Also the game speed 
will multiply with a factor 4 during last 12 levels!!
And providing the shareware concept some support is a good thing...
Once registered, you get by E-MAIL your personal unlimited Hangtetris.
