Tetris (8-2-2)
Tetris is a deceptively simple, completely addictive electronic puzzle game. The object of the game is to position the falling shapes, called “Tetraminoes,” across the bottom of a rectangular pit. Tetraminoes are shapes created from 4 blocks joined together into 7 different patterns. The Tetraminoes must be rotated as they fall and positioned across the bottom leaving no open spaces. When an entire horizontal line fills with blocks, the line clears from the screen. If lines are not completely filled with blocks, they will not clear from the screen, and the Tetraminoes will continue to stack up higher and higher. If the stack of Tetraminoes reaches the top, the game is over!
Use the following keys to move a falling piece:
•N or 5 rotates a falling Tetramino.
•S, 2, and 8 move a falling tetramino to the right or to the left.
• 6drops down a tetramino (if you don't want to wait for it to reach the bottom).
The menu options in this game are the same as those in Snake.
Box World (8-2-3)
In this puzzle game your job is to get rid of all the boxes. This is done by pushing each of them onto a fixed black object. When you finish pushing all boxes onto the black objects, you pass the boxworld of the current level, and you can proceed with a new game of the next level.
Use the following keys to play this game:
•Move the pusher using 2 (up), 8 (down), 6 (right), 4 (left), or S (up and down).
