Tetris for the Philips CD-i released in 1992. It features a cult, new age soundtrack by Jim Andron. It is possibly the first version of Tetris to be released on optical media.
Gameplay
Tetris for the CD-i has no wall kicks, and pieces can only be rotated counter-clockwise. Pieces can not be soft dropped, only hard dropped using the second button. There is no lock delay, so keeping your stack low is to the player's advantage for survival.
Before starting the game, the player may select their starting level, and a height. Changing the height from "0" will start the game with very sparse garbage rows.
Much like previous titles, clear lines to progress to the next stage. Each stage features a new motion background, and new song.
Like Tetris (Sega) the game has a ceiling which blocks pieces from rotating. However, due to the faster gravity it is seldom a nuisance.
When the game ends you have the option to enter your name for a high score.
