Seriously, I have more fun with these two than Tetris can ever be. And
they even pay me to play them.

Yeah! After your scoreboard gets filled and you can't even get a high \
enough score to get on anymore, what fun is Tetris. It gets boring.
(I already started over when I got the SE/30, so resetting isn't going
to do it either.)

  And it's even less fun with a patch on Random so Tetris always gives
you a square piece in conjunction with a recursive macro to play for you.
Playing for a high score just isn't that much of a challenge any more, 
y'know?  :)

Random! 22 of the same piece in a row is random? That program even has
artificial intelligence built in. You hold out as long as you can for a
particular piece, then get it on the next move after you block the hole.
