Tetris Duell

Vertical with two colors!

Analogue game unit for Tetris for two players, nicely made up from a vertical slit matrix set into a unit with LCD display including a random generator and indicators for the active player! Each player has 25 Tetriminos, which are pieces made up from four squares in varying arrangements. The unit is set up and started. You select one of two game modes, and the unit lights up a transparent block to indicate who is active player. Then the LCD display shows the Tetrimino that you must enter into the vertical matrix. When the display shows the joker symbol, you can use any piece of your choice. Then the newly inserted piece touches other pieces of its color or completes a row, you score points - gaps score penalty points. Points are always scored by pressing the respective button accordingly - once for touching one of your Tetriminos and trice for completing a row. If you manage both with one piece, you score four points. If you completed a row, you have another turn. Each gap in the size of one square scores one penalty point.

The unit offers two game modes: 1. Schnell - each player as 60 seconds for a complete turn; if you score a second or even more additional moves after completing rows, the unit does NOT restart at 60 seconds for the additional moves. Using more time incurs penalty points. 2. Countdown: Each player has 1200 seconds for the complete game; if you have more time left, you score 2000 bonus points.

An old favorite, modernized and well-working - the mechanical entering of scores, however, is a but error-prone, especially when scoring chain moves where you want to be quick to get a chance for another move!
