Tatris Boster 1.0b
This is a Tatris-like Game
Mactivity's CD-ROM nr 10 advice: This application did
run on a b/w 68030 processor under System 7.1. It was
also tested on a big ColorScreen of a PowerMacintosh
running System 7.1.2. The game was also tested on a
Quadra with 68040 processor and a 13 inch Color Screen
and System 7.1 by Mactivity.
To use Tatris Boster(c) just drag the Tatris Boster
CDEV into your system folder and reboot. You will find
that after rebooting the CDEV has placed a file called
"Tatris Boster Prefs." in your system folder.
Don't Panic. This is normal behavior for the program.
This is where your selections will be stored. To adjust
Tatris Boster select its icon from the list shown in
the Control Panel. This will bring up a Control Panel
item which consists of 7 blocks. Each block will be
explained in the following sections.
Block 1: "Select the block you want" In Tatris(c),
blocks of several different shapes fall from the top
of the screen to the bottom. Using Tatris Boster you
can control the type of blocks that fall from the top
of the screen. Each block which has the check box below
it checked will be one of the types that falls from
the top. You can select any combination of blocks or
any single block. You must have at least one block
checked all of the time.
Block 2: "Change it:" This tells Tatris Boster
when to change the settings to reflect what has been
selected. "Now" refers to once you leave
the Tatris Boster CDEV and "On Startup" refers
to the next time you boot up the Mac.
Block 3: "On Off" This turns Tatris Boster
"On" or "Off". When Tatris Boster
is "Off" Tatris(tm) will act normally. NOTE:
When not playing Tatris(tm) be sure to turn Tatris
Boster "Off" or other games and utilities
will be effected. See NOTE 1) at the end of this document.
Block 4: "Startup Icon:" If this box is checked
then an animation sequence is shown at boot time. I
recommend that you leave this checked, the sequence
is worth watching. If Tatris Boster is not installed
then the Tatris Boster icon is shown crossed out. NOTE:
Even when Tatris Boster is "Off" it is installed.
If Tatris Boster is not installed then it will have
no effect regardless of the settings. The only way
to not install Tatris Boster is either with an "INIT
picker" type of utility, a sever error at boot
time, or the key indicated in "Disable Tatris
Boster on:" was depressed at boot time.
Block 5: "Disable Tatris Boster on:" When
the Mac is being booted Tatris Boster looks for a key
being pressed. If the key is pressed then Tatris Boster
is not installed at all and the Mac must be rebooted
to install Tatris Boster. The key that must be pressed
to not install Tatris Boster is chosen in this section.
You can use either the Option key, Command key, Control
key, or Shift key. If "No Key" is chosen
then Tatris Boster cannot be disabled from the keyboard
at boot time.
