  to find it in you own hard disk (you have to find 
  "msvbvm50.dll" in your path).

  To upload/view internet scores, you need an internet
  connection and a web browser (Tetrix 2000 and Mixline

3.- LASER BLOCKS 2

  GAME PLAY 
  ---------

  Original game mode

  Throughout the game, blocks containing different
  numbers of vertical or horizontal pipes fall from
  the top of the screen. When you line up three or
  more pipe sections, a laser blast removes them
  from the screen. If you remove all the pipe
  sections from a given block, it disappears and the
  blocks above it fall down to take its place.

  With the special Laser Bombs, blocks already on
  the ground can be destroyed. The game is over
  when the game area is filled with blocks.

  Puzzle game mode 

  You must remove the flashing block before the 
  screen fills up. This is done by working your way
  down to the block (by lining up pipe sections,
  (see Original Game above) and then eliminating
  it. Use the Laser Bomb to destroy concrete 
  walls and blocks with horisontal pipes only.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.- MIXLINE

  GAMEPLAY
  --------  

  You have to keep a pit free of blocks by
  moving and rotating small pieces while they sink from the top to the ground, one
  after another. Some blocks are partly tranparent, they have to be combined with 
  other transparent sections. Each time a complete row is filled, it vanishes and 
  all blocks above fall down. Your game is over when the pit is too full for the next
  piece. The game becomes a bit faster each time a certain amount of rows (15) has
  been erased.
