The New Tetris is a puzzle video game for the Nintendo 64. The game was developed by H2O Entertainment and published by Nintendo, based on the Tetris series. In this new version Tetris, from the same people that brought Tetris into the 3D sphere world, you can now play a 4 player game, and dump your cleared lines to another player using 'garbage'.
In the single player mode, the total lines cleared in every match that you play are added up, and once you reach a certain amount, a famous monument will be unlocked, and you can view them from all angles in full 3D. The process can be sped up by building four-by-four squares out of pieces, which will turn into silver (and for squares made of four of the same piece, golden) squares that grant bonus lines.
While the game received generally good reviews, the game became infamous for a huge hidden rant in the game's code by the game's programmer David Pridie, who sadly passed away shortly after the game's release from an asthma attack at 29. In the rant, Pridie goes after many of the developers and their design choices among other things.

Music
This game features an electronic dance music soundtrack by Neil Voss, who also composed the award-winning music for Tetrisphere. Voss also did remixes of Russian traditional music. The late programmer David Pridie (aka Martial Artist) hid rants, and out of all of the people he made bad remarks about, Voss was the one person he complimented, though he said that Voss got things done at the last minute:
However, Voss later explained why he delayed delivering the music in an interview:
Voss composed the game's music in Fasttracker II, and used samples from many records he owned at the time. Voss still owns the XM files, but has not released them yet.
Neil also explained that the song titles come from David, not himself.
