NAME

       gemdropx - an interesting one-player puzzle game for X-Window

SYNOPSIS

       gemdropx [--help] [--version] [--usage] [--nomusic]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original
       program  does  not   have   a   manual   page.    Instead,   it   has   documentation   in
       /usr/share/doc/gemdropx/README.txt.gz

       gemdropx  is  an  interesting one-player puzzle game for X-Window.  It 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 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.
