It’s been called “one of the most addictive games
ever,” and now you can join the obsession! Rotate
the Tetraminos as they fall and try to complete a full

BASIC GAME RULES

In Tetris®, you must arrange a sequence of small
shapes, called Tetraminos, into complete lines. As
each line is completed, it will disappear from the
screen.

Tetraminos fall from the top of the play field to the
bottom.

Each Tetramino is made up of four blocks, arranged
into seven different patterns.

You must rotate the Tetraminos as they fall and fit
them together to create lines.

If you cannot complete a line, the blocks will eventu-
ally rise to the top of the play field and the game will
end.

GAME LEVELS

As you advance to each level, the speed at which
the Tetraminos drop will increase. Tetris® will auto-
matically 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 mul-
tiple 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 Tetraminos as follows, multiplied by the current
level.

Single: 10 points:One line is cleared.
Double: 30 points:Two lines are cleared at the

same time.

Triple: 50 points:Three lines are cleared at the

same time.

Tetris®: 80 points:Four lines are cleared at the

same time.

Note:

Game starts at level “00”. The “point multi-

ply” 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
display 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: Classic Tetris
(Game One), Speed Tetris (Game Two) and Ultra
Tetris (Game Three).

CLASSIC TETRIS

In Classic 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 Tetramino is filled.

points/lines as possible within a specific time period.
