OldSkool Theme Pack for Quadra
==============================
Created by Rich „Weeds„ Nagel

Overview
--------
This archive contains a new theme pack for version 1.1.8 (or newer) of Ludus
Design's EXCELLENT "Quadra" Tetris-styled tetromino game. Find out more about
this great freeware Tetris game at http://quadra.googlecode.com or
http://code.google.com/p/quadra on the Internet!

The theme pack consists of one extremely plain-looking monochrome background
and splash screen image created from scratch. In addition, all of the
tetrominoes for the game have been edited to simple outlined gray and black
pieces.

Also included are new replacement sound effects for Quadra, which consist of
nothing but simple little PC speaker blips and beeps, with an old-school
mechanized countdown timer voice.

Lastly, the theme pack also includes a new mouse cursor. Again, quite plain and
simple looking.


Old Geezer Soapbox Rant <LOL>!
------------------------------
All those dadgummed young whippersnappers with all their confounded
multi-colored 'puters! Back in my day, all we had was two colors (if you were
lucky), and that was it!

Try this one out for size, old-school retro-gaming at it's best... there...
that'll learn 'em!
