Several friends of mine and I have been playing DATetris recently and we wanted to know how many levels there are. Also, how is the DATetris different than Tetris? Thanks, Keith Keith Conover Dept. of Biochemistry Dalhousie University Keith@ac.dal.ca Keith

I'm suprised that you do not know of the differences/similarities. As far as I know Tetris (it's commercial you know) comes with the DA. Therefore, anyone legally in possess- ion of the DA should have a copy of the program too. In any case, both go to level 9 and then stay there until you die or get bored playing. Then, there is advanced mode which I find to be impossible at level nine. My hands just don't keep up. ---Derek Fong fong@cive.stanford.edu thewho@portia.stanford.edu

The Mac II version doesn't come with the DA version, des[ite what it says on the box. A little insert says there is no DA version provided. Also, it won't run on a machine without 256 color/grey capability, again despite what it says on the box. Boy was I bummin' when I bought it last year before I had 256 greys. BTW, I doesn't seem to map the clut very well to greyscale either. When I look at the pictures with VisionLab they look great, but only fair while actually playing. Is this the program or my system?

Is this the program or my system? I've run the commercially available version on a Mac-II here at work and on a Mac-IIcx at home. The colors really are great. If you get only fair color, the problem must be something other than the program. - Chuck Hoffman, GTE Laboratories, Inc. cah0@bunny.gte.com Telephone (U.S.A.) 617-466-2131 GTE VoiceNet: 679-2131 GTE Telemail: C.HOFFMAN
