Obsess-O-Matic 1.0 by Wayne Phillips December, 1989
Special thanks to: Lindsay Markus, Dave Owens, and Fred Werrell
for their ideas and friendship.
Obsess-O-Matic is a real-time puzzle game. The object
is to fit the falling pieces together to form complete horizontal
rows, which will then disappear off the bottom of the board. Once
the pieces fill in and reach the top, the game is over.
This Game is ShareWare...Please feel free to copy and give it
to a friend or put it on any bulletin board. If you enjoy it, I would
