Tetris Anyone?

This is a Flash game. You will need to have it installed to play along with us.

Clap!

Yay!

I beat Cindy.

Although, I suppose it is only a matter of time before I am beaten.

Maybe not. Won't work for me either. Just get a blank screen and an invitation to look at the high scores.

What browser are you using? What OS? Is Flash installed on your computer? Rumor has it that Netscape has issues.

Using Netscape 6.2 with Flash enabled.

Played this very addicted game and got a decent score.

Game ended, got this message:

I don't notice anything different on her posts. Or mine for that matter.

Did I get it away from her and lose it after I beat Katherine?

Margaret, who realizes her victory is temporary.

Uh oh. Tetris. Like I don't have enough distractions. You are very, very evil, Amy.

(Doesn't work on Opera, though I'm not sure if I have flash installed here or not. Let me fire up the (ugh) IE and give that a try.)

Yay -- it works on IE! Great game. I like all those obstacle course boards. Fast drop doesn't seem to be working, though. Also -- what do those numbers that float around like ghosts mean?

The floating numbers seem to be extra points you get just for dropping a piece. Considering you don't have fast drop, you probably did even better than me since fast drop was starting to get quite a few points in the later levels Each level requires you to get 10 lines, eventually there is a level that requires you to get 1000; that's the one that finally got me.

It happened again. And, I had a pretty darn good score.

Who really shouldn't be wrapped up with Tetris before 6 am
