Title: Tetris Question
Post by: javeryh on September 08, 2004, 05:16:30 pm

Back in college there was a Tetris machine in the university gameroom - it played russian music (I guess) and little men in baggy pants came out of the taj mahal-themed background in between levels.  In the later levels, 1x1 blocks would appear at the bottom of the pile out of thin air to make it harder.  Was this game just called 'Tetris' and also what is it called in mame?  I would love to play it again....

To be more specific, it is the Atari version of Tetris (and in my opinion, the best of all versions ever released on any platform).
