Tetris is European Commodore 64 variation of this game.

Some critics stated, that it was one of the best versions of Tetris to came for 8- and 16-bit systems.

Blocks are near well's edge, so you should be very accurate!

Music

Tetris on Commodore 64 probably has the longest tune ever written for the game (25:50 without loop). Although it's not changing largely during the playback, it keeps player's interest to the end. It uses all 4 channels of SID chip, and digital guitar harmony is presented from 2:58 to 24:48.

Because the beginning of second loop slighty differs from the first, it loops not quite from the beginning of the second loop, just to show the difference.

It's unique to that port.
