Registered users can delete it, if they want. 調 IMPORTANT 団 In this version of Tetris I have added my own AICA Sound Compressor routines. The AICA is a loss sound compressor which gives a 2:1 constant compression ratio while having high compression and decompression speed. The compressed sound files are identified by a .AIK extension. The complete AICA package will be released soon. It will include support for OPL and C programmers and a AICA compatible version of the ROM Record application. Please contact me if you should need further information. Obviously Registered User will not be able to change the compressed sound files as long as AICA has not been released. Who is interested in more info on the AICA compression package, can contact me by e-mail at the above address. 敖陳陳陳陳陳朕 陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳� USER GUIDE 団陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳� 青陳陳陳陳陳潰 There is no need (I think) of instructions! If you don't know Tetris at all, give a look to the on-line help system (available even while playing by pressing the Help key) or simply ask to a friend of yours. I made no pause key, but the game enters in a pause mode when you change the active process (pressing the System key, for example) or when you press the Menu key. Remember that, in order to access to the menu functions, you must not press the hot-key itself, but you must press the Menu key then the hot key, instead. 敖陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳� 陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳� TRADEMARKS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 団陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳 青陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳陳� Series-3a is trademark of PSION. Original Tetris programming and idea by Alexey Pazhitnov. To achieve maximum processing speed, part of the AICA compression and decompression routines were developed using Giles Goddard's and Krister Wombell's S3Asm, a Series-3a 8086 Assembler. Furthermore I have to beg pardon to David Kohn, who was the first one to report the double-movement, and some months passed since I promised him a fix to Tetris. Excuse me, David, but I ran into big troubles since I *completely* lost both my HD source file AND the disk backup (Murphy's Law hits again: "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong"), so I had to start again from a PAPER PRINT-OUT of a very early version of the game. 浜様様様様様様様様様様様様様様� � � � THANKS FOR PLAYING TETRIS � � (AND FOR REGISTERING IT!) � � � 藩様様様様様様様様様様様様様様�
