Such standards require the reviewer to consider the technical qualities and characteristics of the product alongside its commercial value for users, which may affect the product's ranking on the website. Electronic Arts EA used to have an excellent version of Tetris, but they recently removed the option to download the game, so I went and found the next best version of the game.

Follow the steps below and download it for free today. Check out the free alternatives for Tetris for some more exciting games. As you remove lines and advance through the different levels, the game will speed up, increasing the difficulty level. Each piece has a set value when it starts to fall on the board.

Each time you move or rotate the piece, it decreases the point value. Therefore, if points are important for you, think about where each piece will go so that you can retain as much value as possible for each piece.

If you have the piece preview feature turned on, it will reduce the amount of possible points. Tetris saves your scores and adds them to your personal leaderboard. Challenge yourself or others in your house and see who can have the most points. Once you get the hang of Tetris, you might find the beginning of a game slow. You can find this by changing the starting level.

Highly recommended. NIgger 0 point. Riverplate 0 point DOS version. Max 4 points. Charles Foxston 0 point. JD 0 point. Another Tetris Classic fan 0 point. Definitively one of the best versions of Tetris, ever.

Such great game-play, and the music I've just found a copy of this game while browsing one old backup HDD image. What a blast! Carbide 1 point. Norton 86 0 point. Mikal 1 point. George 2 points. Unfortunately, who can install it on today's computer?

I now even own a seperate Windows XP laptop just i could play certain old games. OMG, so excited. I was a weird Tetris Classic prodigy as a kid, always starting on Level 10 so that the blocks would rain down in warp speed, and often beating the game so it'd go all wonky at the end. I recently found only one of them. The game was a remake of Xonix with an inverted hidden play field. Dmitry named it Antix short for Antixonix.

Warning: the game does not have a proper timer delay and runs too fast on modern computers unless you use some emulation software. I do not know who developed the original Xonix. But the game was a smashing success at the Computer Center and elsewhere around Moscow before Tetris spread around.

A few months after we started working together, Pajitnov came up with the Tetris idea. Before we met he had a computer game called Genetic Engineering. In that game the player had to move the 4-square pieces tetramino around the screen using cursor keys. The player could assemble various shapes. I don't remember the exact objective of that game, but it seemed rather dull.

At one of our meetings Pajitnov told Pavlovsky and me about his new idea of tetramino falling into a rectangular glass and piling up at the bottom. He believed the game might be successful. Shortly after discussing the idea Pajitnov made a prototype for Electronica 60, then I ported it to the PC using our development system. Pajitnov and I kept adding features to the program for a couple of years.

The game name "Tetris" was purely Alexey's idea. The word is a combination of "tetramino" and "tennis". I thought it sounded a bit strange in Russian, but Pajitnov insisted on giving the game this name. A couple of years later Pajitnov and I also developed a 2-player version of Tetris and worked on a couple of psychological test projects for Alexey's friend Vladimir Pokhilko. Vladimir was the first clinical psychologist who conducted experiments with Tetris.

In the 2-player Tetris the glass had no bottom. The pieces for the first player move from the top, for the second - from the bottom. Two players competed for the space inside.

Pajitnov's efforts to sell the games together failed. We decided to give our friends free copies of the games including Tetris. The games quickly spread around. When the freely distributed PC version of Tetris got outside of the Soviet Union and a foreign company expressed an interest in licensing Tetris, Pajitnov decided to abandon all the games but Tetris.

The decision made Pavlovsky very unhappy and destroyed our team.
