T-TRIS, a version of Tetris for the Atari Lynx. If you've been living in a
cave for the last ten years, Tetris is a game where oddly-shaped blocks
fall from the top of the screen as the player rotates and positions them.
Solid rows of blocks vanish to make room for more, and the pieces fall
faster as time progresses. The game ends when there's no more room in the
pile.
This is similar to the game Tetris but instead of falling blocks, you have to make words out of falling letters. Some words will give you cheats or unlock a bonus game. Keep going until the letters reach the top of the screen, at which point the game is over. Words can be formed horizontally, vertically, forwards or backwards.
