That "X" has more than one meaning in this game... Today on Ancient DOS Games, Gemini's taking a look back at an old, freeware Tetris clone from the late 80s known simply as xTetris, having been developed and release by one Daniel Singer. While the gameplay isn't anything too special, there's a number of curious CGA photos featured throughout which, upon first glance, look "familiar", but digging deeper reveals a lot of them aren't just simple conversions... ------------------------------------------ Additional Information and Corrections: * Here's a link to the xTetris page on the DOS Games website if you'd like to grab a copy for yourself: https://www.dosgames.com/game/xtetris * Whoops, that's the US Capitol Building, not the White House.
