GAMESPLAY



The aim of Stack Up is to guide the falling groups of blocks so that

they form horizontal, vertical, or diagonal lines of more than three

of the same colour.  Once this "Stack" has been made, the blocks

disintergrate earning points.



As the blocks fall from the top of the frame, pressing SWOP allows

the colours to exchange postitions.



The next block to fall is also displayed on the screen, so it is worth

bearing that colour formation in mind before placing the falling

blocks.



As you Stack Up to higher frames, the falling blocks get faster, and

the puzzles become more difficult.



If your stack reaches the top of the screen, the frame is declared

void and you lose your credit.



Depending on your own Arcade style, you may prefer to Stack with

the following playing pieces which are selected on pause by hitting

their numbers.



	1.  Coloured Blocks

	       2.  Planets

	3.  Road Traffic Signals

	  4.  Greek Symbols



Stack Up is split into 22 rounds, each of which has a target number

of lines that must be reached before play can progress to the next

level.  After a successful round you are awarded CLEAR BONUS,

plus a SPACE BONUS depending on how much empty space is left

on the screen.



As higher levels are reached:

-	Frames are started with blocks already in them.

-	Blocks appear randomly on the screen.

-	Only diagonal lines count towards your target levels.

- 	Left and Right controls may be reversed !!

- 	Black blocks will fall that cannot disintergrate.



BASIC SCORING



Each group of three blocks placed in frame: 50 points Vertical line

of Three: 200 points

Horizontal line of Three: 500 points

Diagonal line of Three: 1,000 points



EXTENDED SCORING



Line of Four: Score doubles and counts as Two.

Line of Five:  Scores triple and counts as Three.

Line of Six:  Scores quadruple and count as Four.



CHAIN REACTIONS



First Step:  Single Score.

Second Step:  All lines are worth Double.

Third Step:  All lines are worth Triple.



So a diagonal line of Five formed on a Second Step Chain Reaction

is worth 5,000 points.
