Pentris is a Tetris-like game that uses pentominoes instead of tetraminoes (that is 5-squares pieces instead of 4-squares pieces). This makes the game a lot more challenging.
This game requires System 7 or later and Color QuickDraw. Therefore, it's not compatible with the Macintosh Plus, SE and Classic.
I spent a lot of time writing and debugging Pentris, so this game is NOT freeware. It has a shareware fee of 15$, but you can send any amount (more or less) you want. However, to become a registered user, you have to send at least 15$. Registered users will receive future versions of Pentris free of charge.
N.B.: If you live outside Canada, please don't send cheque; you can pay the shareware fee by sending cash (USA 12$; UK 7.5£; Australia 15$; France 75 F). Money orders are OK for USA and UK only.

NOTE: when Pentris is used on an AV machine (Centris 660AV or Quadra 880AV), the sound
doesn't always play well. I'll try to fix this in a future release. This bug should not prevent you
enjoying the game.
