I would've thought that Tetris would switch to the VT52 graphics set,

is saying that the VT52 displays a block when receiving DEL. Other DEC VTs
ignored DEL on receipt, even (I believe) in VT52 mode.

Unfortunately, I have NO good opensource VT-52 emulator
to play. Original Tetris requires 0177 character to be BLOCK to draw.
Interesting! Most stuff is OK with VT100 instead of VT52. Is it
because the VT100 emulation is lacking in its VT52 support, or is it
because the real VT100 is lacking in its VT52 compatability?
