Welcome to the world of Daedalian Opus. I remember playing this game when it
was released, way back in 1990. Of course, I wasn't very good at it,
considering I was only 4 years old.

Even though I wasn't too good at the game, I remembered enjoying every second
of it.

Now, in 2002, something reminded me of this game, and I went on a long search
to find it. Successful, I booted up the game and got crakin'.

             A button............ Pick Up / Drop Puzzle piece
             B button............ Rotate the piece
             Start............... Turn piece over horizontally
             Select.............. Turn piece over vertically
             A+B Simultaneously.. Restart Puzzle

==============================================================================


 The point of this game is to take puzzle pieces that are provided to you and
fill in the board completely with only the pieces you have. Using different
combinations and rotations of the pieces is essential to complete the task.
Sounds easy, right?

 Wrong.

 This is one of the toughest puzzle games I've ever encountered. With many
different combinations for each puzzle, and 36 total puzzles, this game will
keep you occupied for a long, long time.

 There is no time limit on any of the puzzles either, so take as long as
you'd like.

v0.64  2003.07.27: Got four more levels done. Slowly, but surely, progress is
                  being made. Also changed a few things around, namely the
                  update history was moved permanently to the bottom of the
                  FAQ.

v0.53  2003.07.10: I consider update to be my emergence back into FAQ writing.
                  I'm finally dedicated enough to finish this FAQ, after
                  months of not writing any FAQs at all. So, I'm back!
                  I beat a few more levels, and I got brand spankin' new
                  hosting from the very kind Meowthnum1.
                  Woohoo!
                  Some slight cosmetic changes, and as you can see from the
                  progress bar up there, I'm more than half done the
                  solutions! Hooray!

v0.xx  2002.06.08: Uh, new format. That's it.
                  I promise that I will sit down one day and finish this
                  sucker.

v0.x   2002.03.18: Fixed a typo in the date of v0.6 (it read 2992). Fixed the
                  order of wording at the top of the FAQ. Fixed various other
                  typing errors.
                  Added the Find Feature. Added a percentage complete table.
                  Beat level 25.

v0.x   2002.03.05: Fixed the Puzzle Shapes section, as to correct some errors
                  with formatting. Beat level 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and added
                  screenshots for each of them.

v0.x   2002.03.04: Created the FAQ, and beat level 36 today.
