Gem Drop X is an interesting one-player puzzle game for X-Window.
|
|
|
|
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!))
|
|
|
|
The game is played with YOU at the bottom of the screen. At the
|
|
top is a random assortment of colored shapes ("gems"). As time goes
|
|
on, more gems appear at the very top of the screen, pushing the
|
|
rest downwards. The game is over when the gems reach the bottom.
