About
Snip is a free tetris implementation I originally started while back in school as part of my finals, but by the time it grew into something that I really like and that is perfectly playable. I suggest you just try it and judge for yourself.
Features:
- resolution of 1024x768 @ 16bits color-depth
- completely configurable controls
- input profile support
- cool artwork
- well balanced gameplay
- 8bit-sounds
System Requirements:
- DirectX 8.0 or better
- DirectDraw-compatible video card with 4 MB+ VRAM
- Pentium 200
- 16 MB RAM (32 MB recommended)
- Windows 9x/2k/XP OS (implies reset-button)
Chances are that snip will also run well on significantly slower machines but since I couldn't test it on weaker ones than listed above, I thought I might as well only tell you what I know for sure...

xavierpayne's new code is in CVS - snip is themeable and can play background music now.
The new features are not documented in detail so far, though.

Though I thought snip was pretty dead by now, it seems some people are still interested in it; we've got more than 1.200 downloads so far (which is more than I ever hoped for). Many thanks to xavierpayne, a new dev who sent me some patches that should be in CVS soon and will continue improving snip in his free time. Since I don't have Windows anymore, this could speed up development somehow.
