Recent talk has alluded to the fact that there is a pirated version of TETRIS going around (in fact, there is, because I've seen it available on many bulletin board systems). Well, one of the many hybrids, EGAINT, is available free, as in gratis (it's distributed under the GNU General Public License). The author wants no money...if one feels like they should shell out some cash, he suggests that they donate it to a worthwhile charity, such as the Red Cross. Rumor has it that the author was working on allowing users to load GIF-format images into the background, something which is mildly more attractive than those low-resolution caricatures of the Soviet Union. You can get it at grape.ecs.clarkson.edu in the bin4 directory or by calling The Odyssey at (201) 984-6574 (more recent versions are available via the latter...tell them Eric sent you).
