A comment on NeXT Computer.

Does anyone remember this NeXTStep game? Apple still has it for the Mac.

I did some NeXTStep programming 20 years ago. I converted the Tetris game to color when they finally shipped the NeXTstation Color. If someone has the Tetris source, I'd like to look at again and see how close it is to the iOS stuff I'm doing these days.

Yes! I'm the 'melling' from the README2:

--------------------------------------

If you are using a monochrome system, you should copy the Tetris blocks from MonoBlocks to this directory. You can design blocks of your own by using Icon and saving them as Block1, Block2, Block3 and Block4. Be sure to save you images as 16x16 files. NOTE: Icon will open(and save) the Block images as 48x48 so you will have to change the image size back to 16x16.

Also, if you would like to design a color icon for Tetris, please NeXTmail me the TIFF at the following address.

Also, I'm interested in hearing about any features that you would like added.
