WHAT
IS TETRIS?
TETRIS is a
new
type
of
puzzle game
from
the
Soviet Union
that
tests
your
reflexes.
It's
really simple
to
play
. Seven
different
shaped
blocks
fall
down
the
game
field
one
after
the
other.
The
object
of
the
game is
to
keep
the
blocks
from
piling
up
to
the
top
of
the
game field.
To
do
this,
you
can
move
the
blocks
to
the
left
and
right,
and
rotate
them
as
they
fall.
If
you
can
completely
fill in
one
horizontal line,
that
line disappears and
you
get
points
.
If
the
blocks pile
up
to
the
top
of
the
game
field,
then
that's
the
end
of
the
game. TETRIS is simple,
easy-to-understand,
but
difficult
to
drag
yourself
away
from!
TETRIS originally came
from
the
word
"
tetra
" meaning
the
number
4. By rearranging
four
squares,
you
can
make
seven
different
shapes
which
are
the
pieces used in
this
game.
With
TETRIS,
you
can play
two
types
of
games: endurance
game
A,
and
game
B
where
you
play
for
the
highest
score
at
the
25th
line.
