A Mac-exclusive bid to create the most vexing [Tetris][1] possible. It
will lie, cheat, taunt you about your play ("Nice slide!"), give you
preposterously unusable pieces, and find a creative "new way to screw
you" on every level. While it never saw its intended commercial
publication, a leaked development copy became an underground
sensation.
This version only refers to itself as Tetris by Randall Cook, but it
picked up many other names as it spread: New Tetris, Obnoxious Tetris,
Attitude Problem Tetris, Wise-Ass Tetris, Asshole Tetris and most
famously Wesleyan Tetris after the author's university. Recently, Cook
announced plans to [release the source code][2] under the name
Original Supertris.
