For 15 years, Radica has consistently produced the best portable electronic arcade games. We consis- tently strive to replicate the arcade experience with superior programming, graphics and realistic sound effects.
Tetris has been called “one of the most addicting games ever,” and now you can join the obsession! Rotate the Tetriminos as they fall and try to complete a full line of blocks. But watch out - with each new level, the Tetriminos fall faster and faster. Good luck!
BUTTONS AND FEATURES:
GAME LEVELS
As you advance to each level, the speed at which the Tetriminos 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
Points are awarded for clearing each completed line of Tetriminos as follows, multiplied by the current level.
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.

BASIC GAME RULES
In Tetris®, you must arrange a sequence of small shapes, called Tetriminos, into complete lines. As each line is completed, it will disappear from the screen.
Tetriminos fall from the top of the playing field to the bottom.
Each Tetrimino is made up of four blocks, arranged into seven different patterns.
You must rotate the Tetriminos as they fall and fit them together to create lines.
If you cannot complete a line, the blocks will eventual- ly rise to the top of the playing field and the game will end.
RACE TETRIS
In Race Tetris, you will attempt to clear a certain num- ber of lines within the shortest period of time.
At
If you reach your line goal with the placement of the last Tetrimino before the time limit, you will be award- ed all of the points scored, including points for lines completed over the goal.

A Tetrimino will come to rest when it hits the bottom line of the playing field or when it is blocked by anoth- er Tetrimino.
