Tetrinet is one of the best multiplayer internet games I've ever played. It's a multiplayer tetris that allows up to 6 people to play on teams or individually against each other in Tetris (much like the old game boy head to head). Also it adds a twist with the option of adding special blocks. You can use them on your opponent or even yourself to add lines, clear lines, shake a field, or even switch fields between players.
It's been around since 1997, and people still use the same version! I don't know many other games that I still want to play that zip up to less than 400k...except maybe Oregon Trail - that rocked. Click here to download one of the best games out there, byte for byte. After you get it, just read the readme and you'll be set. If you don't read it, you WILL ask someone a question that's already answered there, so save everyone some time. If you sensed a change in my tone, it's from having to explain how to play over AIM 100 times, when people could just RTFM.
If you want to play, drop me a line or message me. If I'm not around you can play with random people. Go to tetrinet.org and click on Servers/IP list.
