Tetris has been re-released because of massive international demand - so we're told. You're presented with a screen containing a background picture and, in the middle, a well. Into this well fall different shapes. You must form as many horizontal rows as possible by manipulating the shapes so that they fall into the correct positions. When a row is formed, it disappears and the other pieces drop down a row. As the pieces accumulate and the game progresses, you have less time in which to jiggle the pieces, so the game gets harder.

And that's basically it. There are a few options, such as variable difficultly levels, but at the risk of disagreeing with the entire world, it's not that good. Once you get compenent enough to outwit the first few levels there's really not much point in continuing. Tetris may have been better re-released on budget, but for now it's only recommended for the serious puzzle freak.
