The object of Blox is to simply move three blocks marked '3' into a
row. If three blocks with numbers '1' or '2' are moved into a row, the
blocks are converted into rings which fall to the bottom of the screen
and two new blocks appear which have a number one higher than the
blocks used to make them. (e.g. three '2' blocks in a row will produce
two '3' blocks).
If a block can't appear because the space is occupied by a ring or if
it appeared it would make three of its type in a row, then the space
will flash on/off until the block can appear.
Also the screen can be rotated to get a different view or to make the
rings fall to a different part of the screen.
The control keys are:
Cursor keys - move up/down/left/right
Spacebar - rotate screen
Esc - return to main menu
Esc (from main menu) - return to DOS
