Expanded Tetris (1994)
Expanded tetris is a modified version of old famous game. The rules of game are the same as in classic tetris game. The player must fill rows without void inside. It has four levels. Beginner level looks like normal tetris game. But starting from Intermediate level the difficult figures come into field. In Intermediate level appears the figures with one brick outside of the main figure with one adjacent angle. In Master1 level comes into play the figures with two bricks with one adjacent angle. In Master2 you can see the figures that has no one common edge and consist of only adjacent angles. And the second difference from Classic tetris game is ability to invert the figures. In classic tetris you can only rotate them.
The program is written by me(the author of site), on 1994. It’s clear windows 16 application and written in Borland C++ Copyright 1991 Borland Intl.
