It’s been called “one of the most addicting games
ever,” and now you can join the obsession! Rotate
the Tetraminos as they fall and try to complete a full
line of blocks. But watch out-with each new level,
the Tetraminos fall faster and faster. Good luck!

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
eventually 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
automatically advance to the next game level each
time the player clears ten lines.
SCORING
During game play, the total Line Count will appear
in the Score/Line Count indicator at the top right
hand corner of the screen. When you complete a
line or multiple lines, the Score/Line Count indicator
will show your total score, for two seconds. It will
then return to your total Line Count.
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 multiply
starts at level “01”, where points will be multiplied by 2.
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" or "Game Over" occurs when
the Tetraminos have stacked to the top of the
screen or playing field.
SPEED TETRIS
In Speed 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 either Rotation Button. 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.”
ULTRA TETRIS
In Ultra Tetris, you will attempt to clear a certain
number of lines within the shortest period of time.
At start-up, you will select a 25 or 40 line goal by
pressing either Rotation Button. The number of lines
you have selected will appear on the screen.
You will keep playing until you “Top Out” or when
you clear the number of lines you have selected.
If you exceed the time goal with the placement of
the last Tetramino, you will be awarded all of the
points scored, including points for lines completed
over the goal.
