The object of the game is to pocket four of the same coloured balls into
each of the holders.

Only four balls are allowed to be moving out of a pocket at any one time.

A cracked tile only allows the crack coloured balls to pass through, any
other ball will bounce back.

Full coloured tiles will colour any ball passing over to the colour of the
tile.

The colour of the next ball to be released is indicated by the icon in
the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

There is a time limit, displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Have fun. August 91. End
