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!

your lighting conditions become dim, your screen

will automatically illuminate! If you set the game

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.
