'Tetripz': Tetris on acid (and other drugs)

Promo description of a new video game called Tetripz:

"Imagine playing tetris under influence of LSD, but without the LSD. You can choose between different player setups (one player, two player, two pit or tetripz android), several drugs (coffee, ganja, 2cb, lsd, dmt) and the dose of this drug. When you start to play, you'll see tetris as if you had actually taken this drug ...There are eleven different songs inside this -100k exe. Every level is completely music synchronised, with the screen bumping up and down, rotating, zooming, lenzes or lights moving over, beautiful graphics and cewl music-synchro."

Imagine pitching this to acidheads: "Ever wondered how games would look like when under your favorite drug, but have always forgotten to take your laptop with you when tripping? Here's the solution - the ultimate psychedelic tetris game!"

Or parents: "Anxious about your kids' choice of activities? Checking their pockets for remains of crushed plant material? Search no more! This trip simulator game will leave them so wasted they won't even think about trying real drugs!"

Or the undecided: "You've read tons of paper on drugs, but still feel insecure and unsure what to try? This game will let you sample the effects!"

Some players believe that the game could run better through Dosbox. I have a different opinion on this topic. Dosbox, simply speaking, is a program which makes your hi-tech computer believe it's still 1990 and that he's an old, slow machine which thinks that Windows are those big transparent screens behind him. Dosbox may be necessary for playing some old games on more modern computers. However, at least in my case the game runs much better when just opened with its .exe file without using Dosbox. I had to try it out to make a screenshot myself and the game was running incredibly slowly. Apart from that, when I open it without using Dosbox, I can't hear the music and it's great for me since techno is definitely not my cup of tea. If the music doesn't work on your computer too, you can play any CD or file you choose before launching the game.

The game is available for download at the Mute Fantasies website.
