TETRIX is based on a game I first saw on and IBM-PC (ugh!). The original game
is called TETRIS, and was designed and first written in Russia. The original
program has been placed in the Public Domain. Since then, I've seen one other
PD version, and a commerical version published by Spectrum HoloByte for both
the IBM-PC and the Macintosh.
Note: I have recently been informed that the ORIGINAL game was not created in
Russia but in Bulgaria. It was then re-written in Russia, etc. I have no
way to confirm this, but I thought I'd set the record straight.
When I first played Tetris, it was on a PC at work. I found the game very
addicting, despite its simplicity. I was frustrated because I couldn't play it
on MY machine. So, I wrote it. The project has grown from a simple hack to
a more complete verision with extras I have no interest in, but I have seen
offered in other versions. If you enjoy the game, please register by sending
$20 to-

(think about it. I'd rather have $5 or $10, than nothing, so if you don't
feel it's worth $20, send what you feel it IS worth)
