   I don't think this version of Tetris complies with the official Tetris Guideline, Quarterdeck. 🤔 (But the hint bar on the bottom is a nice touch.)

     @root42 Yes, it is. It's DESQview/X 2.1

     @dosnostalgic is this a true X11 display server? Which release?

     @dosnostalgic have you ever tried connecting to a Linux box and running some apps?

     @root42 I know very little about Unix/Linux, so I just don't have the energy that would be required for me to pull it off.

     @dosnostalgic please do! Probably requires older apps that run on X11R4 or R5.

     @root42 Installer says OSF/Motif and OPEN LOOK compatible.

     @anopka Psst. It was a joke. But Pajitnov has *always* been adamant about the playfield size, even back in the day.

     @dosnostalgic The official Tetris Guidelines were first released around 2001 as far as I know. That version of Tetris looks like it predates those guidelines. Even the official NES and GameBoy versions predate the Tetris Guidelines by at least a decade.

     But yes, since there seems to be no hold box nor multiple next piece preview, this is definitely not compliant with the official guidelines. Still nice though 😉

     @dosnostalgic at a quick glance I thought this was on Geoworks Ensemble.
