IT’S A BATTLE OF WITS IN THIS SOVIET MIND GAME!
From the land that has produced the greatest chess minds comes a very different mind game. Developed by two Soviet programmers, TETRIS, is the first computer game to breach the Iron Curtain. It now stands before you, not as a test of crude brawn, but as an intense battle of wits.
TETRIS is a dynamic puzzle that seems easy enough: Rotate and flip moving geometric blocks into unbroken rows. When you completely fill up the bottom row, it disappears from the screen and your score rises. When enough rows vanish, the blocks descend faster and faster.
Nothing to it, right? Wrong! When you can’t find the way to make the pieces fit together and more blocks tumble down to clog your screen, you’ll wish you had ten hands – and ten brains.
Warning: Although TETRIS may be great food for thought, it’s so much fun, it’s positively addictive. So don’t forget to eat something to fuel your body (maybe apple pie?).
TETRIS and apple pie. Now that’s détente!
One of many conversions of the famous block-stacking game available for Nintendo's home console, this one is based on the 1988 coin-op version produced by Atari Games. The goal is to place pieces made up of four tiles in a ten-by-twenty well, organizing them into complete rows, which then disappear. As rows are cleared, the pace of the game increases, and the game ends if the stack reaches the top of the well.
The game features a standard endless mode, as well as a two-player competitive mode where players race to complete each level. There is also a "cooperative" mode where both players play within the same well, working together to complete lines. Both the competitive mode and the cooperative mode can also be played with the computer.
The game offers standard starting-level and garbage options, several different background music themes, and cute little Russian dancers to congratulate you between levels.
