The BEST Tetris game for 68k and PPC Macs (Fat Binary), built by an
MIT student who was inspired by the success of [Jewelbox][1].
The rise, success and fall of Tetris Max on Info-Mac and AOL [has been
chronicled by its author][2], who now develops [Floppy Emu][3] and
other classic Mac adjacent hardware toys for a living.
Development stopped due to legal threats from The Tetris Company.
* Top DL: Version 2.9.3b fixed crash bugs with System 6 and with B&W

the app smaller by removing the PPC code using [Fat Free][4].)
