…Im looking for the (free) original Tetris. I seem to be able to find it, but i have to pay for it, or I can have a 30 day trial period…Can someone help me please, I really love that game, and I want it on my machine…thanks;)

September 11, 2003 at 11:36 pm #55718ShadowSlayer469MemberSorry for not finding a link for you, but I have a case of lazyness at the moment, try a Google search
September 12, 2003 at 12:02 am #55721smwMemberive aldready tried doing a search in yahoo and google, and this was my last resort…but shibby, no luck here either…lol
September 12, 2003 at 12:39 am #55712Jeff HesterKeymasterPssst! Wanna help me test our very own Tetris? Once the bugs are worked out (if you find any) and I get the color theme tweaked to match the site I’ll put an “official” link up. The cool thing is that it will track high scores so you can compare how you do against other members here at the site! 😎
Please note that it only works with Internet Explorer!
September 12, 2003 at 1:03 am #55714khellendros1984MemberNote: This only works in IE. Don’t know what versions, but I think it has to support VBScript. I’m going to see if I can’t make a standalone executable version. Probably won’t have save capability for scores, but if you just want Tetris….
September 12, 2003 at 1:31 am #55711Jeff HesterKeymasterYes, and it only tracks your score if you click the “Add Score” button after your game is over. I guess so if you’re just messing around and don’t want to embarrass yourself. 😉
September 12, 2003 at 2:00 am #55717ShadowSlayer469MemberSpiffy Jeff! Where did you get it?
[Nevermind Jeff, I’ll just steal your source code;)]
September 12, 2003 at 2:33 am #55716shifterMemberUh, I think I found a bug. When I suddenly got to an insanely uncontrollable speed on level 11 in tetris, it stacked straight to the top and a little alert popped up saying game over. so I clicked the OK button. Then, to my surprise, the blocks kept stacking on top of each other at the top of the screen, causing my score to escalate at an astonishing speed. I just cruised past the 50000 mark when I decided to finally hit the add score button. To my disappointment it only kept my original score from when the game ended of 19230 (damn I woulda been the Ultimate Tetris Master ;))
Have a look at this screen capture to see what I mean… Tetris gone wild (81 KB avi video capture)
September 12, 2003 at 2:54 am #55720smwMemberwell, i like this tetris, its acually just like the one im looking for, but…when you pause the game, and go to unpause to play again, it freezes to shape, and the only way you can get it to come down is to drop it…and is there a way i could down load that game, so its on my PC to play at any time???
September 12, 2003 at 3:10 am #55715shifterMembersmw – to unpause you have to hit the cont. button.

September 12, 2003 at 7:07 pm #55719smwMemberWOW, that game is really cool…now the download is it free? i cant seem to find any trial version…i love the game though…thanks;)
