If every one of our 7 top people add 2000 points, we'll make it easily.

I thought only top 3 matter...

Unless you wanna start a JV team :D

What is the key to your success? I absolutely stink at this. :(

Many, many years ago back in high school, we had the old Macs with Tetris on them and I was pretty good at that...

Beyond previous Tetris skill, all I can really advise is to keep your blocks low so you're less likely to mess up when it gets faster...

[Edit] Keeping it low also means you're more likely to "Clean a House" but I have yet to ever actually do it :(

Guess I am too old and too slow now. I thought I was good at Tetris, but this thing is killin' me. :D

I don't think so. It's still addicting though :D.

Damn, can you at least re-assign the control keys? I keep DROPPING blocks instead of rotating them.

Yes, I have that problem too. Also I wish you could press more than one key at once, ie. rotate and move...

Impossible to play this if you've ever been attuned to any of the official versions. Good luck though.

Sadly I won't be able to help. I may be forced into an early retirement as my wrist is killing me :(

I really don't play very many games but at 300k+ points each time, you're looking at a matter of hours for just a few tries.

Anyhow, good luck to the rest of you and God speed ATOT :)
