Misc/Games/!Tetris/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
This is Tetris!, written by Sleepy & Tiggr during some autumn evenings.
The software is provided as is. Permission is granted to copy and use it.
Permission is denied to make money out of it or to expect anything from it
or from its authors.
Use the following keys:
4 move tile left
5 rotate tile
6 move tile right
0 drop tile
SPACE drop tile
n display next tile (toggle)
p pause game (toggle)
^A abort
Remember that the Tetris! window must have input focus to be able to accept
user input. Also, I just discovered that with my version of the C Library
Tetris! doesn't like not to be the first task having been started to use the
C Library. Another point: Tetris! needs the Trinity.Medium font. The last
(but _very_ important) point is that since I'm a lazy bastard, Tetris! only
works properly in 16 colour modes...
