# Puzzle

This block puzzle game is played pretty much like the original!

The goal of the game is to match a letter pattern (you may select one of five).

The game is controlled with an arrow cursor (Standard Joystick). There are 3 menu selections (top of screen), SELECT, ADJUST, and MIX. To move a block or choose an option, move the arrow over the block or option, then press FIRE.

SELECT: This will let you select which pattern, reset, or quit the game.

ADJUST: This will let you select which joystick interface (STANDARD, ZX-INTERFACE II, or CURSOR), and change the arrow speed.

MIX: This will mix all the letters. (You should use this before beginning a game).

GOOD LUCK!
