Uh - you can choose the keyboard control character under one of the menus to do exactly what you describe here. I've got both Tetris and Welltris, and I find them both very addicting. I think you just gotta remember that Welltris is a different game than Tetris. My only complaint is that Welltris has one of those damn 'protection' schemes that makes you look up a statistic out of the manual. I hate it when the first thing you have to do when you buy a new program is defeat the protection scheme. -- +=====================================+=======================================+ | Mustang GT, there is no substitute. | Go Eagles, Flyers, Phillies, Sixers, | | - "Risky Business", paraphrased. | and Wings!

I hope someone out there can give me some advice. Irecently received Welltris as a gift. To my chagrin it doesn't run on my IIsi, actually the black and white wersion runs, but the color version comes up with sound but no picture! Is there any thing I can do to get around this? And/or will Spectroum HoloByte plan to upgrade to a version that runs on the IIsi? Please email directly to zuccola@max.gatech.edu. Thanx in advance, H-----

Just wanted to say thanx for all those cards and letters about Welltris and the IIsi. H-----

Perhaps I missed a great deal. I have a IIfx, and can't get WELLTRIS to work at all -- seems that it doesn't like either 6.0.5 (or above; I'm running 7.0b3) or 32-Bit QuickDraw. Hmmph -- and such a nice game! Steve
