- 'The Age of Rock' is an action-game for up to 3 Players. You must shoot
- with stones at blocks to complete them to a rectangle. If the blocks are
- rectangelous, they'll disappear and leave you some points. The bigger the
- blocks are, the more points you get. But the blocks are coming nearer to
- the bottom. If they reach you, you'll die. And the blocks are even more
- mean. They might come along in 4 different colours. Grey means, you can
- shoot at them everytime. But red, blue or green blocks can only be shot by
- ships with the same colour. You cycle your ship-colour by joystick-up. If
- you get the feeling, the task is too easy for you, well, joystick-down
- increases the falling speed of blocks and gets you some extrapoints.

- The Age Of Rock is an old game I wrote around 1990 and 1991.
- It is an extended version of a videogame I saw called 'Block Hole'.
- Last week I found it in my source-archive and polished it up a little,
- removed some bugs and here we are.
