BASIC GAME RULES
In Tetris®, you must arrange a sequence of small
shapes, called Tetraminos, into complete lines. As
each line is completed, it will disappear from the
screen.
Tetraminos fall from the top of the play field to the bot-
tom.
Each Tetramino is made up of four blocks, arranged
into seven different patterns.
You must rotate the Tetraminos as they fall and fit them
together to create lines.
If you cannot complete a line, the blocks will eventually
rise to the top of the play field and the game will end.
GAME LEVELS
As you advance to each level, the speed at which the
Tetraminos drop will increase. Tetris® will automatical-
ly advance to the next game level each time you clear
ten lines.
SCORING
During game play, the total score will appear in the
Score/Line Count indicator at the top right hand corner
of the screen. When you complete a line or multiple
lines, the Score/Line Count indicator will show your
total line count, for two seconds. It will then return to
your total.
Points are awarded for clearing each completed line of
Tetraminos as follows, multiplied by the current level.
Single: 10 points:One line is cleared.
Double: 30 points:Two lines are cleared at the
same time.
Triple: 50 points:Three lines are cleared at the
same time.
Tetris®: 80 points:Four lines are cleared at the
same time.
Note: Game starts at level “00”. The “point multiply”
will start by 2 at level “01”.
In the event that you score more points than can be
displayed, a “Roll Over” will occur and the score dis-
play will restart at zero. A Roll Over is indicated by
dashes in front of the score.
HIGH SCORES
The highest score of the game will be displayed in the
Score and Line Count indicator at the end of the game.

One), Speed Tetris (Game Two) and Ultra Tetris (Game

starting position of a new Tetramino is filled.
