Shockwave Tetris Skin for LockJaw ================================= Created by Rich „Weeds„ Nagel Overview -------- This archive consists of a new replacement skin for version 0.36 (or newer) of Damian Yerrick's EXCELLENT "LockJaw" Tetris-styled tetromino game. Find out more about this great freeware Tetris game at http://www.pineight.com/lj on the Internet! The skin features a new background image and block images created using graphics from Shockwave.com's "Shockwave Tetris" Shockwave Flash game, and color scheme. The skin also includes replacement background music as well (the theme music from the original Shockwave Flash game). "Shockwave Tetris" stands out as one of the few rare games that The Tetris Company endorsed for free playability online. Developed by Margaret Wallace and released on April 20, 2000, the game supported daily, weekly, and monthly scoreboards. As of December 8, 2002 the game is no longer online at Shockwave.com, although you can currently surf over to http://www.arcadevault.com/tetris_2.html on the Internet to play the game within your web browser. Files Included in this Archive ------------------------------ Note that this archive includes two versions of the new replacement skin. The skin that has "(LR)" contained in it's filename should be used when LockJaw's "Playfield Position" option is set to "Left" or "Right" (as well as in the future, when LockJaw eventually supports multi-player games), while the other skin should be used when the game's "Playfield Postion" option is set to "Middle". Skin: "Shockwave Tetris Skin" - Created using graphics from Shockwave.com's "Shockwave Tetris" Shockwave Flash game.
