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 dif-

ferent 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 will start by 2
at level “01”.

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” occurs when any cell for the starting position
of a new Tetramino is filled.

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 Buttons. 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”.

ULTRATETRIS

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 Buttons. 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.

GETTING STARTED

Press the Start button to begin a new game. You will see the
Game Mode screen.

To scroll through the game modes, press the Up and Down
Directional Keys. There are three game modes: Game One
(Classic Tetris), Game Two (Speed Tetris) and Game Three (Ultra
Tetris).

To select a game level from which to start, press the Right and
Left Directional Keys. There are nine game levels, each increas­ing in difficulty. The game level icon is located in the top left hand
corner of the screen.

When you have selected the desired game mode and game level,
press the Start button to begin your game.

Tetramino Control

As the Tetraminos fall, you will need to rotate them to fit into the
lines below.

You can move a Tetramino to the left or to the right as it is falling
by pressing the Left and Right Directional Keys.

A Tetramino will come to rest when it hits the bottom line of the

play field or when it is blocked by another Tetramino.
After a Tetramino has come into contact with the blocks beneath it,

you can slide it to the left or the right for one second before “Lock
Down” by pressing the Left and Right Directional Keys.

To rotate a Tetramino clockwise, press Rotation Button 1 until the
Tetramino is in the desired position.

To rotate a Tetramino counter-clockwise, press Rotation Button 2
until the Tetramino is in the desired position.

SOFT DROP

To accelerate the speed at which a Tetramino falls, press the
Down Directional Key. The Tetramino will “Lock Down” immedi­ately upon contact with placed Tetraminos when using Soft Drop.

PAUSING AGAME

To pause a game during gameplay, press the Start button. Press
this button again to return to the game in progress.

GAME OVER

A game is over when any cell for the starting position of a new
Tetramino is filled. This is called “Topping Out.” The words “Game
Over” will scroll across the screen.

At the end of the game, the Score and Line Count Indicator will
display your line count, score, high line count, and high score.

SLEEP MODE

After one (1) minute of inactivity, Tetris® will go to sleep. To wake
the unit, press the Start button.

RESETTING THE GAME

To reset the game, insert a small, blunt object into the small
