The game runs in a DOS emulator: keyboard and mouse work like on an old PC, each game has its own layout (see the hints in the game). There are no on-screen buttons on a phone.

First click the game screen once: after that the keys go to the game, not the page. To scroll the page again, click outside the game window. If the game does not respond, click the game screen again.

The game runs from the Internet Archive site in their emulator; there are no game files on our servers. We show it so you can get to know it; the rights to the game belong to the rights holders. The built-in player has no volume control: if there is no sound or you need to adjust it, open the game page on Internet Archive, which has sound and full-screen buttons.

Description

EGAint Is Not Tetris... got it? In fact, it's a freeware Tetris style game, one of the earliest such releases on the IBM PC. Being that it was so small (under 100kb, an easy 2400 baud download), Egaint lacked the background pictures Tetris players enjoyed, but it did sport high-resolution graphics and some custom game settings, including several exotically-named block styles, and shapes not seen in most Tetris clones. The game featured a "tournament mode", with a fixed, non-random set of falling blocks, but no multiplayer support. The package also included a separate, text-mode version, simply called AINT.
