Electris

I'll start by saying, it's a Tetris clone. If you've already lost interest, then now's your chance to run like the dickens. If you're like me though and happen to love the game, or are just looking for something to waste your time, then read on.

Download links are at the bottom if you'd rather skip all this stuff.

Version 1.2 is out! Look here to see what's new.

Features

Those crazy falling tetrads
Spiffy sound effects
Totally original cd-quality music
Fun special effects
High scores, to make fun of yours friends
Perdy true-color rendered graphics
The phantom tetrad!
Windowed and Full-screen modes of play
And best of all, this is all free!

Requirements

A computer (probably 90mhz at least)
Around 5 megs of disk space
A video card that can do 32-bpp. If not, the game will automatically drop down to 16, then 8, but those don't look as good
A sound card. Won't work without one. Preferably one that's DirectX compatible, otherwise you may notice a delay in the sound effects.
DirectX 8 at least I think, but I recommend 8.1
I'd say 16 megs of ram is plenty
A keyboard and mouse come in handy too

Possible Problems

More music tracks
Better control over sound and music
Ability to toggle certain options on/off (such as the phantom tetrad)
Custom fonts
And other stuff I haven't thought of or remember at the moment

The title screen, in all it's rendered glory. Perdy, eh?
