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 Neo-
       Geo 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.
