ACiD Tetris

Everything just seems to fit, from the menus with the bouncing letters to the music and the smiley face that appears at times and comments gameplay with little noises. Pieces land with a solid thud, rows aren't just dissolved, they are blown to smithereens. A little statistic on the right shows how many of each piece have fallen down.

ACiD Tetris was created by Dungeon Dwellers Design, a New Jersey-based demo group. As you'd expect from a demo group, coding is excellent and rock-solid. ACiD Tetris plays without problems under Windows, even with sound, and in spite of the music and graphics the archive fits on a floppy. The game is freeware.

Gameplay is exactly like the original Tetris, only scoring is a bit different, and you can rotate the pieces in both directions. Default keys for this are A and S, but you can reconfigure all the keys.

The system requirements depend a lot on the sound card used. The best choice is the Gravis Ultrasound, with its hardware mixing it puts the least strain on the CPU. In this configuration it runs very well on a 486DX2/50, where it ran very well. With a Soundblaster, you should have a not too slow Pentium.
