+Fetris
+======
+
+A Tetris clone written in pure Fortran
+by Jeff Armstrong
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Fetris is a pretty simple Tetris clone that plays much like one would expect
+from a Tetris-like game.  The usual pieces are present, and the controls are
+working as expected.  The game isn't pretty, but it does work.
+
+Graphics are provided by a Fortran wrapper around WinBGIm, a modern
+implementation of the old Borland Graphics Interface for Microsoft Windows.
+
+Building
+--------
+
+A Simply Fortran (http://simplyfortran.com) project is provided with the
+source code.
+
+Playing
+-------
+
+After starting the game, play is reasonably straightforward.  The keys are:
+
+LEFT and RIGHT      Move current piece left or right
+UP                  Rotate piece 90 degrees clockwise
+DOWN                Move piece down faster
+Q                   Quits
+
+Copyright
