Diamonds 3D requires System 7.0 (or higher), a 13" color monitor (640
x 480 or larger), and must be run in 256 colors. Diamonds 3D requires
a mouse or similar pointing device. Diamonds 3D requires 2300K of
memory (3000K is required to use background music).
Diamonds 3D should perform acceptably (60 frames/second animation) on
any Quadra or Centris system, any Power Macintosh, and on many other
systems, including Performa models in the 5xx, 6xx, 5xxx, and 6xxx
series. Diamonds 3D may run slowly (but otherwise correctly) on older
Macintosh hardware. Diamonds 3D is accelerated for Power Macintosh.
For best results, quit all other applications before playing Diamonds
3D. Services and utilities such as File Sharing, Control Strip,
PrintMonitor, Remote Access, MacPPP, and other background tasks may
perform poorly while Diamonds 3D is running, or may cause Diamonds 3D
to perform poorly.
Do not play Diamonds 3D on a Macintosh PowerBook computer running only
from battery power. Diamonds 3D may interfere with proper system
sleep behavior when the battery runs out.
How to play Diamonds 3D
After Diamonds 3D has loaded, start playing by clicking on the "NEW"
button, or by choosing "New" from the Game menu, or by typing
Command-N. Move the paddle over the ball and click once to launch the
ball into play. You can hold the ball on the paddle briefly by
holding down the mouse button. To end a game during play, type
Command-W. To quit the game at any time, type Command-Q, or if no
game is in progress, click on the "QUIT" button or choose "Quit" from
the Game menu. If the ball gets stuck, hold down the mouse button,
and move the paddle in the direction you want the ball to go. The
ball will be gently attracted to the paddle while you hold the button
down.
You may be able to figure out what to do while playing just by
experimenting. Or, you can read this paragraph for some quick
instructions. To complete each level you must clear all of the
Diamond bricks. In level one, there are no other bricks to worry
about. After level one, you must clear all of the Color bricks before
you can clear any Diamond bricks. After level two, you must have the
correct ball color in order to clear the color bricks. Hit the Color
Energizer brick to change the color of the ball, then clear the
matching Color bricks.
The full version of Diamonds 3D contains 50 levels. Many surprises
beyond just Color Energizers await as you explore these increasingly
challenging levels. And, a secret surprise awaits those who reach
level 50. Diamonds 3D also features optional stereo sound and music.
