How to play Capsule    (c) Jani Immonen 1998 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Object of the game. 

Your mission is simple.  Get rid of the bugs on the screen! This you
do by positioning the capsules dropping from top of the screen on the
top or to the side of bugs.  There are three differently colored bugs.
The capsules are in two sections each section contains one of the
three bug colors. When four or more sections/bugs of the same color
are in line, either horizontally or vertically they disappear, scoring
you points. You complete a level by removing all the bugs, then you
can move to next level. There are 25 levels to play. 

If you remove three or more bugs at one time, you get a special capsule
as a reward. When you get a special capsule you'll hear a short tune.
There are two kinds of special capsule:

1. Special Capsule - Flasher 
When you place Flasher on top of a capsule, all capsules of that color
will disappear.  Flasher doesn't have any effect on bugs.  Flasher is
especially useful in clearing large piles of capsules.

2. Special Capsule - Bomber 
With Bomber you can bomb a bug to remove it.  This you achieve
by pressing the turning key (CTRL or SPACE).  Bomber is effective in
removing bugs, but it doesn't have any effect on capsules on screen.
If a bug is hiding under a capsule, you can't bomb it.

If you haven't removed any bugs for some time, the speed capsules drop
will increase until you remove more bugs.  The time remaining until the
next speed change is displayed at the bottom righthand of the screen.
When you reach level 15 and above, the speed will increase even after
you have removed some of the bugs - just to make things a bit more
interesting!

The game ends if capsules fill up your screen, or if you pass level 25!

Split Screen - Two-player Game. 

When playing the two player game, the object is to clear the level
before opponent does.  You win a round if you remove all your bugs
first or your opponent's screen fills up.  If you win a special
capsule during the two-player game, your opponent receives between
1 & 5 teasing capsules. Teasing capsules drop down uncontrollably
and land randomly.

Note that in the two-player game, Player 1 is on the left and Player2
is on right.  Player 1 controls the capsules with the X (left),
V (right), C (fast drop), Q (turn anticlockwise) and W (turn clockwise)
keys, Player 2 controls the capsules with the arrow, CTRL and SPACE
keys.
