2. OBJECT
A-TYPE: Get as many lines as possible. If you start at level “0” you need 10 lines to progress to level “1” and so on. If you start at any level above level “0” you need to get the previous lines, example: If you start at level “1” you need the lines it takes to reach level 1 (10) plus the lines it takes to reach level “2” from level “1 (10), thus you need 10+10 levels to reach level “2” from level “1”.
B-TYPE: Get 25 lines.
3. LINES
Get 10
squares horizontally connected and you get a line, which disappears. Your line
count increases by 1. You can get a maximum of 4 lines at once.
4.
CHEATS
+ 10
Levels: Hold “A”
whiles selecting a level in the A-Type menu.
Start
off with a Tetris: Push
“start” when the demo gets a Tetris (4-lines), wait
until the screen flashes (the demo gets 2 Tetris’s). Next start a game. The
screen will start flashing and then once the first block of the game touches
the ground you get the points for a Tetris and you should also get 4 lines.

MISCELLANEOUS
Why
“Tetris”? Tetris
comes from the Greek word “tettares” meaning “four”. Lets see, how many things in Tetris have a four. All of the
blocks have FOUR squares, the maximum lines you can get is
FOUR and the maximum possibilities for each block is a multiple of FOUR. So I
think the name is very appropriate.
Score: Guess whose name is in the “high score” box,
that’s right, Alex, short for ALEXey Pazhitnov, the creator of the game.
Suicide: During the game, push “A”, “B”, “Start” and
“Select” at the same time and the game will reset. Now apparently as rumored,
you can keep your score if you do this after making a Tetris.
