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.
