If Tetris has gotten too easy for you, try Kentris. The default options have the playing fields move around the screen during gameplay, and players can add garbage to the bottom of their opponent's screen when they eliminate multiple lines. The background constantly changes colors and there are voices and sound effects. Ken says "boom" whenever an I piece appears, presumably so that you can say "boom, Tetris" after dropping it. The extra challenges can be a lot of fun, or you can disable them and play standard Tetris. Play against a computer opponent or a human, or watch two computers fight it out. Kentris supports a variety of video and audio standards, including the Tseng Labs ET4000's glorious 1024×768×256c mode. The only downside to that high resolution, high color mode is that you can no longer see your score!
