Instructions

A brand new game for the Cantab Jupiter Ace from Roy Templeman. After his experiences coding the ZX80 version, He thought that he would try and convert the game to FORTH. ALTAIRIS for ACE was the result. This is a Tetris style game with the same game play and principles as the original, only tastefully adapted for the hardware.

The rules are almost the same as the original. You must try and complete a solid line in order to clear it and gain lots of points. Like the original you can rotate your piece, you can move your piece and you can quick drop your piece. Rotate, Move or Quick Drop. You only get 5 moves, and a rotation counts as a move! so be very careful with your choices! Once you have made your 5th move, your piece will automatically drop. Of course you can quick drop at any time.

Control are simple:

A = Move piece one space to the LEFT

D = Move piece one space to the RIGHT

W = Rotate

S = Quick Drop

Altairis will run on a 19K Jupiter Ace (standard Ace + 16K Ram Pack)
