# The games/gemdropx port

## gemdropx-0.7p0 – one-player puzzle game for x11

## Description

      Gem Drop X is an interesting one-player puzzle game for X-Window.

      Gem Drop X  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 directly
    on an arcade game for the NeoGeo 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. (Jewels is like a combination of Klax and Tetris. Bust-A-Move
    is the  least  similar, in  my  opinion, but everyone seems to have
    heard of it more than the others (except Tetris, of course!))

      The game is played  with YOU at the bottom of the screen.  At the
    top is a random assortment of colored shapes ("gems"). As time goes
    on, more  gems  appear at the very  top of the  screen, pushing the
    rest downwards.  The game is over when the gems reach the bottom.
