VGATetris



It's time to play a game that has the phrase 'VGA' in its title. VGATetris is a Tetris clone created by Jared Tarbell and released in 1991. The game is very bare bones, lacks music, and most importantly, has anti-comfortable controls. It is still Tetris, however, so I play it and respect it. Enjoy!

Description quiz:
A) What is your favorite MS DOS game?
B) Is Tetris easy? Is it hard? Explain.
C) What's the weather like where you live?
D) What's your favorite type of rice?

Kentris (another ripoff of Tetris)



VGA Chronicles Guy takes a crack at the legendary Kentris, a tetris clone for MS DOS, released in 1991 as freeware by Ken Silverman. The man is clearly a legend of disorienting graphics and impressive MS DOS music scores. Watch VGA struggle to play this confusing game! Enjoy!

Description quiz:
1) Why do trees grow upward?
2) Is gravity even real?
3) If you have 5 apples and your friend has 8, and you're on a train headed towards Detroit, how many mangos does a chimpanzee have in New York on a Sunday afternoon at the end of St. Patrick's day? Explain, and show your work.
