AMADO is a creative mind teasing game. It is not only challenging
and stimulating, it exercises the brain as well. This unique game
will build the creativity of the user along with increasing brain
concentration while playing.
OBJECT :
Match your scrambled board with the computer selected pattern in
the fewest possible movements.
REQUIREMENT :
IBM PC/XT/AT or compatible with a EGA or CGA and 256K of memory.
FEATURES :
There are over one hundred computer generated patterns. These
patterns will be selected randomly after the end of each stage.
KEYS USED :
Arrow Keys - Move box cursor right, left, down, and up one square.
Esc - Exit to Main Menu.

CONCEPT of AMADO :
Each box of the pattern is RED, BLUE, or YELLOW. You will be able
to move the box cursor to the adjacent box either vertically or
horizontally using arrow keys.
Rule 1 : Movement between two different colored boxes will change
the color of the destination box into the third color.
Rule 2 : There will be no change in colors when you move between
the same colored boxes.
Example ( Rule 1 ):
If you move from RED box to BLUE box, the BLUE box (destination box)
will become YELLOW box which is the third color.
R + B ==> R + Y
^ ^
Example ( Rule 2 ):
If you move from RED box to RED box, the destination RED box is still
RED.
R + R ==> R + R
^ ^
