TetriNET is a multiplayer online Tetris game, created by St0rmCat in 1997. The last official version is 1.13. St0rmCat later created TetriNET 2, which features improved graphics and more types of special blocks.
Game play
TetriNET game play is like Tetris, with the addition of special blocks. After clearing rows, special blocks (sometimes called "specs" or "cookies") can appear in the player's field. When a row with special blocks in it is cleared, it is put in that player's inventory, and the player can use it on another player, or on himself. Special blocks have a variety of different effects, there are 9 types in TetriNET 1. A game with special blocks disabled is called a "pure" game.
Many variants have been developped since the original TetriNET, like the 7tetris mode (do 7 tetris as fast as you can), the survival mode or the quick mode (clear as many lines as you can in a limited time).
TetriNET 1.14
TetriNET 1.14 is a variant of TetriNET allowing the players to play with the same sequence of pieces.
TetriFast
TetriFast is a modified version of TetriNET that has the 1-second delay between pieces removed. The protocol is also changed to prevent it from being used on normal TetriNET servers.
