TETRIS  
THE LEGEND  
Created in 1985 by Alexey Pazhitnov at the Moscow Academy of  
Science, Tetris has grown into one of the biggest and most suc-  
cessful video games of all time. Originally created on the  
Electronica 60 (a soviet terminal computer), Tetris was eventually  
released to every game and computer system ever made.  
Marketed as the first game to come out from behind the iron  
curtain, tens of millions of copies of the game have since been  
sold.  
Owing its success to its simple design and addictive gameplay,  
Tetris was simple to start, but nigh impossible to master.  
Featuring seven different pieces made from different patterns of  
four squares, Tetriminos, the goal is to clear lines from the game-  
board by filling them horizontally. If the blocks reach the top of  
the gameboard, you lose.

GAME TYPES:  
ADULT SUPERVISION IS RECOMMENDED WHEN  
CHANGING BATTERIES.  
STANDARD TETRIS (1 PLAYER ONLY)  
The objective is to manipulate the falling tetrominos to form  
complete horizontal rows of blocks. Points are earned for each  
line cleared. Bonus points are earned for simultaneous line  
clears. The more lines that the player completes, the faster the  
tetrominoes fall from the top of the screen. This game has no  
time limit, and is only completed when the player tops out.  
TV CONNECTION  
NOTE: To connect Tetris directly to a TV, the TV must be  
equipped with audio and video input jacks or a Scart input. They  
are commonly found on the front of the TV near the contrast,  
color, and picture adjustment controls or on the rear of the TV  
near the antenna and cable/satellite jacks.  
GARBAGE TETRIS (1 OR 2 PLAYERS)  
If your TV does not have audio and video input jacks or a Scart  
input, insert the yellow video plug from the Main Unit into the  
video-in (yellow) jack on your TV, the white audio plug into the  
left audio-in (white) jack. Then set the TV to the appropriate  
video input mode (see your TV’s operating manual for details).  
Depending on the level, the player starts with a certain number  
of garbage rows, with blocks randomly placed on the field. The  
objective is to clear all of the garbage blocks. Points are earned  
by clearing all of the garbage blocks in as short of a time as  
possible. Bonus points are earned for playing at more difficult  
levels.  
NOTE: If your TV is not stereo, you can either plug the white  
audio plug into the audio-in jack and leave the red audio plug  
disconnected, or if you would like to hear the sounds from both  
the left and right audio channels, you can use a 2 into 1 audio  
cable (available at your local electronics store) to allow you to  
connect both the white and red plugs to the single audio-in jack.  
TIMED TETRIS (1 OR 2 PLAYERS)  
The objective is to complete a certain number of lines as quickly  
as possible. The level that the player is playing will determine the  
number of lines that they are required to clear. Points are earned  
by clearing the goal number of lines in as short of a time as pos-  
sible. Bonus points are earned for playing at more difficult levels.  
If your TV does not have audio and video input jacks, you may  
connect Tetris through a VCR connected to your TV.  
HOT-LINE TETRIS (1 PLAYER ONLY)  
CONNECTING TO A VCR  
Six “hot-lines” are arranged on the Tetris board. Only by com-  
pleting rows that are on the hot lines does a player score points.  
The higher up the Tetris board, the more points that are awarded  
for a line cleared on a hot-line. No points are awarded for a line  
that is cleared that is not on a hot-line. This game has no time  
limit, and is only completed when the player tops out.  
To connect Tetris to your VCR, insert the yellow video plug from  
the Main Unit into the video in (yellow) jack on your VCR, the  
white audio plug into the left audio in (white) jack or via the Scart  
adaptor. Then set the VCR to the appropriate video input mode  
(see your VCR’s operating manual for details).  
NOTE: If your VCR is not stereo, you can either plug the white  
audio plug into the audio-in jack and leave the red audio plug  
disconnected, or if you would like to hear the sounds from both  
the left and right audio channels, you can use a 2 into 1 audio  
cable (available at your local electronics store) to allow you to  
connect both the white and red plugs to the single audio-in jack.  
BATTLE TETRIS (2 PLAYERS ONLY)  
Played similar to Standard Tetris, the objective of this game is to  
make the opposing player top out. However, when a player com-  
pletes a combination of more then one line, garbage rows will be  
added to the bottom of the opposing players Tetris board. The  
number of garbage rows is dependant on the number of rows  
that the player has completed. Each player will be given the  
same pieces in the same order.  
ADULT SUPERVISION IS RECOMMENDED WHEN CONNECT-  
ING CABLES TO A TV AND VCR.
