MATRIX 1.2 DESCRIPTION
Matrix is a OS/2 PM strategy shareware game. The game is easy to learn - like
Tetris - but requires some brains - like Go. Matrix uses a set of coloured
tiles, where each player attempts to score by matching tile colours. The game
is played with two players, with the opponent being either computer (different
levels) or human. To appeal to as many players as possible, the game is fully
configurable. Board configuration includes size of board and the background
displayed - either a selected colour or any bitmap. The shape and colour of
the playing tiles can also be selected, making the game suitable for users
with monochrome screens or those that have trouble distinguishing shapes or
colours.
Matrix is simple to install, and fully functional even if unregistered. Matrix
is a non-destructive game - it will not make changes to CONFIG.SYS or the
system/user INI files, nor does it use any hidden files. The game can be
played in any window size, at any video resolution.
"..it looks very very good! A game similar to Tetris and just as addicting!"
- Alex Bradley, Editor of OS/2 Game Review
"This puppy can be quite addicting. I had a lot of fun playing around with it
last night! I definitely like the customizing features, especially being able
to load alternate bitmaps for the background." - PCA Dave, American Online
