Tetris Jr. PC

In 1996, the Tetris Company launched the Tetris Jr., a pocket key chain Tetris. It was about 2½"×2" in size and thus probably the smallest way to play Tetris. As a publicity stunt, they distributed this freeware program, which emulated the key chain game very closely, offering the same eight games.

The buttons below the game window have no function. They are just there for realism. The menus are accessed through right-click, rare among 16-bit Windows games (Slider works the same way). Choose help for an introduction or simply start the game with the space bar. To move the window, you can click anywhere too.

There is a more elaborate 32-bit version. Since Windows 95 supports transparency in windows, it could even emulate the keychain and rounded corners of the original device.
