| VGA Tetris | Adam P. Jenkins | www | www | Download VGA Tetris binary | 0.4 | Tetris for Linux console. | Tetris for Linux console. It's much better looking than Tetris for Terminals. The commands work like Nintendo Tetris, not the original Tetris (hold down space to drop a piece quickly, let go and it drops at the normal rate). This is just the standard tetris-like game, with no special pieces or features. Overall, a well-done game---the interface is pretty, and I didn't encounter any bugs. | arcade | free | on | off | on | off | off | off | 1998-09-01 | bobz | 1998-11-02 18:39:20 | 14 | www | 2001-01-07 22:11:33 | off | ||||||||
