There were at least a couple of versions of tetris that ran in text
mode.
From memory the Spectrum Holobyte release
included a tiny text mode
version
(~8kb .com file) along with the graphic version. The others were
probably
PD/shareware and weren't
actually called tetris.
I should have an old enough version of Nethack somewhere. I remember
it
included instructions for running it on non-PC MS-DOS machines and a
premade config file for DEC Rainbows. I got it running on a Wang
Professional, but I usually played it on a PC.
That would be awsome! I found (late last night) two console versions
of tetris, one is the one I remember, the other is new. Want copies?
