Tetris has been called “one of the most addicting

Rotate the Tetriminos as they fall and try to complete a

the Tetriminos fall faster and faster. Good luck!

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.

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 right-hand cor-
ner of the screen.  When you complete a line or multi-
ple lines, the Score/Line Count indicator will show
your total line count, for two seconds.  It will then
return to your total.

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. 

GAME MODES

Tetris® has three game modes: Marathon Tetris
(Game One), Ultra Tetris (Game Two), and Race Tetris
(Game Three).

MARATHON TETRIS

In Marathon Tetris, you will compete for points/lines
and continue to play until you “Top Out.” 

NOTE:

“Topping Out” occurs when any cell for the

starting position of a new Tetrimino is filled.

ULTRA TETRIS

In Ultra 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 the 

Rotate Right 

or

Rotate Left

button. This

is the number of times needed to reach your time limit
choice.  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.”

RACE TETRIS

In Race Tetris, you will attempt to clear a certain num-
ber of lines within the shortest period of time. 

At start-up, you will select a 25 or 40 line goal by
pressing the 

Rotate Right 

or

Rotate Left

, the number

of lines you have selected will appear on the screen.
You will play until you “Top Out” or when you clear the
number of lines you have selected.

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.
