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 you clear ten lines.

SCORING

During game play, the total score 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 line count, for two seconds. It will then return to your total.

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. ARoll 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 the Rocker Arm Rotation Key, the number of times needed to reach your time limit choice. 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 the Rocker Arm Rotation Key, the number of lines you have selected will appear on the screen. You will play until you “Top Out” or when you clear the number of lines you have selected.

If you reach your line goal with the placement of the last Tetramino before the time limit, you will be awarded all of the points scored, including points for lines completed over the goal.

GETTING STARTED

Press the Start key 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, press the Right and Left Directional Keys. There are ten 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 key 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, press the Rocker Arm Rotation Key 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 key. Press this key 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 key.

RESETTING THE GAME

To reset the game, insert a small, blunt object into the small “Reset” hole on the front of the unit and press down gently. This will start a new game and erase all previously stored scores.
