What is Tetris (set 3, Japan version for System 16A, FD1094 317-0093a)?

Tetris is the classic puzzle game that has entertained players for so many decades. In this edition, Tetris is played on the System 16A arcade machine, having been released, for one, in Japan. The game flaunts flashy colors and the age-old difficulty of fitting the trapezoidal blocks that fall in an empty grid. Set 3 strives to renovate the famed franchise in terms of colors and tileset, while simultaneously holding onto the charm that makes Tetris so addictive.

How to Play

In Tetris, the objective is simple; however, being so simple, it will challenge your mind to think of ways in which you can rotate and move the blocks that are falling so that an entire horizontal line with no gaps can be formed, which after filling is cleared away. Meanwhile, you gain points for scoring. As you keep making progress, the speed increases and you will show off your capacity to strategize and react. So, use the arrow keys in moving blocks left, right, and rotate blocking, while also forcing a block to drop faster. The challenge is to consider the next block and plan your moves in advance.

Tips & Tricks

• Plan Ahead: Keep watching the next block that is coming down. Always try to place down the current block in such a way that positions the next one for an easy line clear.
• Clear Multiple Lines: Try to clear more than one line every chance you get, this technique yields more points but it demands precise timing for placement and rotation.
• Avoid Gaps: Gaps could be so bad in that they rather prevent you from completing lines in the future. Try to fill them whenever possible.
• Fast Drop: Press the down arrow key to make the blocks drop faster; this is helpful when in a tight situation.
