Knew the Model 100 video hardware inside and out. I'm just a spoiled newbie who started with the CoCo3 and so never got used to the old-skool Tandy "up-down arrows on one end of the keyboard and right-left on the other end" thing. ;-) > > Which Tetris were you playing (and where did you get it)? > There's actually 2 that I know of for the m100... TILER.BA and TTRIS.CO and I thought TILER at least was on club100 somewhere, but my partial mirror doesn't have it... Tell you what, tomorrow or (more likely) friday I'll upload them both to my "personal library" @ club100. FWIW TILER kind of plods along (written in BASIC) while TTRIS.CO runs just a little faster than my tetris skill can handle :-). TILER's neat trick is that it's designed for you to hold the m100 sideways -- giving you a much taller play area than tetris usually gives you.
