This wee little program has 2 different kinds of tetris in it and they are both great. There are 6 levels of difficulty from beginner to Nitemare on Elmstreet for both. The first game drops 3 small colored blocks [or hearts, or funny little birds]. The right and left arrow moves it from side to side, the up arrow rotates it, and the down arrow drops it fast, and a match of 3 rids you of those blocks. The second game drops all kinds of shapes, the arrow keys are the same, and when you get a complete row you score and the level drops.

At the beginner level, it is easy enough, clearing the whole field every so often, you could start a kid on this. At the other end, well, let me tell you, rotating shapes so they fit together is hard enough, but how about if there is 3 or 4 bars bouncing back and forth, that change the orientation, of the shape everytime they hit it. If you do start to get complacent, you can adjust the speed.

The registered version has 100 levels. The graphics are great, this is the neatest looking tetris game I've ever seen.
