Game Tetris

Classic Tetris game with a nice graphics, sound and Minimize To Tray feature.

Overview

Tetris is an exciting action game. Throughout the game, Tetris pieces fall from the top to the bottom of the playing area. When the Tetris pieces form a solid row of blocks across the playing area, that row vanishes.

Because this is the only way to remove blocks, you should try to form solid rows whenever possible. The game ends when the pieces stack up to the top of the playing area.

You can manipulate a piece only when it is falling. Falling pieces may be rotated, moved horizontally, or dropped to the bottom of the playing area.

Playing the Game

The object of Tetris is to continue playing for as long as possible. The game is over when the playing area is stacked to the top with Tetris pieces. The following section explains how to play the game.

Rules of the Game Tetris

Tetris pieces appear one at a time at the top of the playing area and then proceed to fall at a constant speed.

• Each piece continues to fall until it lands on another piece or the bottom of the playing area.
• You can manipulate a piece only when it is falling.
• With the keyboard, you can rotate a falling piece and move it left, right, or down.
• Each time there is a solid row of blocks across the playing area, that row vanishes. Try to manipulate the pieces as they fall so that solid rows form and disappear.
• The game ends when the pieces are stacked to the top of the playing area. In a two-player game, the loser is the person whose game ends first.

Scoring

The current piece starts with an initial score value, which increases for each successive playing level. Each time you rotate the piece or move it horizontally, its score value decreases. If you drop the piece, its score value increases proportionally to the distance it falls. Therefore, you can achieve the highest score per piece by immediately dropping the piece from the top of the playing area. The lowest score per piece will result when you continually manipulate the piece until it lands on another piece or the bottom of the playing area.

Strategy and Hints

This section contains helpful hints for playing Tetris successfully.

• Use the Piece Preview command from the Options menu to gain experience, and then turn it off for higher scoring.
• Avoid building "mountains." Try to keep the pile of pieces level at the top.
• Avoid creating "canyons" that are one block wide and many blocks deep. You may find yourself nervously waiting for the long, skinny piece (which never seems to appear when you need it).
• Always try to leave a "flat spot" at least three blocks wide along the top of the stacked pieces. This way you can drop most of the pieces without leaving any gaps.
• Sometimes it is to your advantage to leave a gap and go on to the next level. If you can make the next level disappear, you may have time to fill the gap afterwards.
• Once a piece lands on another piece, it can still be manipulated for a very short time. You can use this time to "slide" the piece under an "overhang."
