It wasn't easy to improve on a Classic. But we did.
Introducing Tetris R Classic, brought to you with all the addictive power and fun of the original but updated with today's high-powered technology. Brilliant VGA/SVGA graphics in 256 colors bring to a life a classic Russian fairy tale. Russian melodies weave a captivating spell, and a symphony of sound effects punctuates your play.
Along with spectacular graphics and stereo-quality sound, Tetris Classic brings more new ways to mesmerize yourself and your friends. Choose from a slew of innovative options, including competitive mode, cooperative mode and a frenzied dual-pit play field. There are even timed games for those who can't trust themselves to stop. A new "soft drop" feature gives you control over the speed of the cascading pieces. And the pit's random-height selector lets you decide how deep you want to descend into Tetris madness.
If you're a Tetris fan now, you'll be a Tetris Classic fanatic forever!
