It’s been called “one of the most addicting games ever,” and now you can join the obsession! Rotate the Tetraminos as they fall and try to complete a full line of blocks. But watch out-with each new level, the Tetraminos fall faster and faster. Good luck!

Left, Right,

Up and

Tetraminos fall from the top of the play field to the bottom.

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 automatically advance to the next game level each time the player clears ten lines.

SCORING

During game play, the total Line Count 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 score, for two seconds. It will then return to your total Line Count.

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 starts at level “01”, where points will be multiplied by 2.

In the event that you score more points than can be displayed, a “Roll Over” will occur and the score display 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.

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.

In Speed Tetris, your objective is to score as many points/lines as possible within a specific time period.

At start-up, you will select a 2, 3 or 5-minute game by pressing either Rotation Button. The time limit you have selected will appear on the screen.

You will play until you reach the time goal or until you “Top Out.”

ULTRA TETRIS

In Ultra Tetris, you will attempt to clear a certain number of lines within the shortest period of time.

At start-up, you will select a 25 or 40 line goal by pressing either Rotation Button. The number of lines you have selected will appear on the screen.

You will keep playing until you “Top Out” or when you clear the number of lines you have selected.

If you exceed the time goal with the placement of the last Tetramino, you will be awarded all of the points scored, including points for lines completed over the goal.

GETTING STARTED

Press the Start button to begin a new game. You will see the Game Mode screen.

To scroll through the game modes, press the Up and Down Directional Keys. There are three game modes: Game One (Classic Tetris), Game Two (Speed Tetris), and Game Three (Ultra Tetris).
