I once saw described here a method for running up huge scores in Tetris.
You had to pause the game under certain conditions and then hold a certain
key down, or some such. I don't remember, or I wouldn't be asking.
Does anybody remember how this is done? My co-workers in the lab are
beginning to approach my fake score with their real ones, and I don't want
them to lose incentive...
I suppose you should e-mail your responses, or your requests for the info
once I get it. Thanks in advance.

If I remember correctly, you have to pause ("P"), press "N", and then hold down the space bar. As I said this is from memory so don't take my word for it. You'll just have to try it. Can anyone confirm or deny this cheater? Personally, I think you should let them have the high score and then just barely beat it by cheating. You can't see your score when the space bar is down but you can keep doing the cheater until your score is high enough. Have fun! By the way, what score are you up to and on what version of Tetris? I have almost 11,000 on the color application of Tetris (not cheating). I start at level 8, height 0, adv. mode off. -- -| Winston M.

Just pause the game by hitting 'P' and hold down the space bar for a while. Then unpause the game by hitting 'P' again and drop one piece. Your new score will then be displayed.
