 Windows 95/98/NT and the Visual Basic 5.0 RunTime. 
 You can get the last one in almost all magazines 
 CD-ROM, or in our Web page. Remember that perhaps 
 you already have this RunTime so first of all try 
 to find it in you own hard disk (you have to find 
 "msvbvm50.dll" in your path).

 To upload/view internet scores, you need an internet
 connection and a web browser



2.- GAME PLAY

 Original game mode

 Throughout the game, blocks containing different
 numbers of vertical or horizontal pipes fall from
 the top of the screen. When you line up three or
 more pipe sections, a laser blast removes them
 from the screen. If you remove all the pipe
 sections from a given block, it disappears and the
 blocks above it fall down to take its place.

 With the special Laser Bombs, blocks already on
 the ground can be destroyed. The game is over
 when the game area is filled with blocks.

 Puzzle game mode

 You must remove the flashing block before the 
 screen fills up. This is done by working your way
 down to the block (by lining up pipe sections,
 (see Original Game above) and then eliminating
 it. Use the Laser Bomb to destroy concrete 
 walls and blocks with horisontal pipes only.
