You'll also + of course need an X display terminal or software to actually see + the game. (Although a curses version may be released at one point!) + + Gem Drop X is a direct port of Gem Drop, an Atari 8-bit game + written in Action! (a very fast C- and Pascal-like compiled language + for the Atari). The concept of the game Gem Drop is based directly + on an arcade game for the NeoGeo system called "Magical Drop III" + by SNK. + + If you're familiar with games like Jewels, Klax, Bust-A-Move or Tetris, + this game is similar to them all. I consider it closest to Klax. + (Jewels is like a combination of Klax and Tetris. Bust-A-Move is the + least similar, in my opinion, but everyone seems to have heard of it + more than the others (except Tetris, of course!)) |
