Pentrex

This is another game along the long lines (no pun intended) of Tetris games. The main diffrerence in Pentrex is that not all the blocks are 4 pieces (as it is in the original Tetris). Some might be 5, or 3, or maybe a different number. Compared to other Tetris games, the graphics are quite pleasing, yet simple.

For those who have never heard of Tetris before (where have you been all these years!?) the goal is to take falling blocks of various shapes and manuever them properly so that they form horizontal lines at the bottom.

When you get a line, the line disappears. If you go too long without getting any lines, the game area will keep filling up and if it fills up to the top, the game is over.

If you like Tetris, download this for some extra strategic thinking. If you never played Tetris before (may be some of you out there), you may want to start off with a more traditional version of Tetris.

Note: if you are running from pure DOS mode, you need EMS memory (i.e. have EMM386 loaded somewhere in CONFIG.SYS). Running from Windows should be fine.
