An OcUK first: TetriNET

basmic · 6 Oct 2006 at 14:15

Basically it's Tetris, but you play with other players.

I believe if you take out 2 or more lines of your own, then the other players have another line added. So if you took out 3 lines, the others would get 2 lines added.

I've only started playing last night, and I am hooked.

Here is a guide on how to set TetriNET up, where to download it, etc.

I've setup a room called #ocuk (case sensitive). Please state in this thread if you're playing, or if you have any setup problems.

To be honest, I'm just trialling it right now. I want to see how things go.

Oh and a warning to those who do come in - swearing gets you disconnected.

I didn't know the game even existed, until last night.

Oh well, it's the first time I've ever seen it mentioned on OcUK.

Just been playing Basmic but had to stop in fear of getting the sack.

Good laugh, need to get a few more people playing at once to get the manic factor a bit higher

Doesn't sound like something I can play at work

Oh well.

Played this a few times. Had lan games of it at xmas and whathaveyer in the office but I didn't realise you could play online. Must be an updated version of the software.

just checked on wiki waaaaaaaah

"TetriNET is a multiplayer online Tetris game for up to six people, created by St0rmCat in 1997 that supports team play. The last official version is 1.13. St0rmCat later created TetriNET 2, which features improved graphics, more types of special blocks, additional features (such as hold piece and block shadows), and a master server."

I knew it was ages old...
