The original game of Tetris has a protection
scheme that requires you to type in a password
referenced in the manual by page, line, word.
This was a real pain. because after you know how
to play the game, you shouldn't have to keep the
manualout. At the direction of a friend, I searched
the text for a password that I had used and found
that all the passwords and their page, line, word,
equivalents were in order at block $0100 and
$0101. They are _case_ _sensitive_ when you type
them in. And here they are:

Tetris/gs: Copy the files "Tetris" and the folder "Tetris.data" (with contents) to
hard drive.


By the way, Tetris/gs movement keys are ...

      Move Left       Move Right

                      |
      <- or J         V or L


               Rotate

              -> or K


Speed Up:   I
Drop Piece: , or SPACE



Solitaire Royale/gs: Create a folder named "Solitaire". Copy all of the files
except "Prodos", the "Icons" folder and contents, and "System" folder and
contents.
