Tetris - patched for PowerPC

ciber — Tue, 03 May 2011 14:14:48 +0000

"The original commercially-licensed version of Alexey Pajitnov's classic Tetris puzzle game. Geometric shapes fall from the top of a playfield to rest on the bottom; fit the pieces together, and the line they form disappears. If the pieces don't form lines and eventually stack up to the top of the playfield, the game is over. Difficulty increases by dropping the pieces faster and faster over time.

Drop groups of colored Qwirks (small blobby creatures that look a lot like the Vermicious Knids from Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator) to form clusters of 4 or more (no diagonals!) Practice by yourself, against a human or computer opponent, or puzzle mode!
